Serialize to json without property names

Question

I need to serialize an object with Newtonsoft JSON, desired output:

[  
   [[1, 2, "15"],[3, 4, "12"]]
]

My class:

 public class Result
 {
  public int? score1;  
  public int? score2;    
  public string id;
 }

Id has to be of a string type. After converting to JSON:

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject);

I, quite logically get this:

[  
   [  
      {  
         "score1":null,
         "score2":null,
         "id":"5824"
      },
      {  
         "score1":null,
         "score2":null,
         "id":"5825"
      }
   ],
   [next object]
]

You don't say the type of `myObject`. Assuming it's a collection of collections of `Result`, you can use `ObjectToArrayConverter` from [C# JSON.NET - Deserialize response that uses an unusual data structure](https://stackoverflow.com/a/39462464/3744182). In fact I think this is a duplicate, agree? — dbc, Mar 16 '19 at 17:08
@dbc thanks for helping me out, this worked like a charm. Since you are the one who's around for a while I'm leaving decision to you. On the other hand this question might be a good entry search point for other users. — Matěj Štágl, Mar 16 '19 at 17:15

You can try with the JProperties.Values() method to extract the values and serialize it finally using JSON.NET:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<Result> resultList = new List<Result>
        {
            new Result 
            {
                score1 = 1,
                score2 = 2,
                id = "15"
            },
            new Result
            {
                score1 = 3,
                score2 = 4,
                id = "12"
            }
        };




        var valuesList = JArray.FromObject(resultList).Select(x => x.Values().ToList()).ToList();

        string finalRes = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(valuesList, Formatting.Indented);

        Console.WriteLine(finalRes);
    }
}

public class Result
{
     public int? score1 {get; set; }
     public int? score2 { get; set; }   
     public string id { get; set; }
}

Giving results:

[
  [
    1,
    2,
    "15"
  ],
  [
    3,
    4,
    "12"
  ]
]

Thanks Kunal, I just got it working with suggested approach from dbc but I am pretty sure this one is nice too. Accepted. — Matěj Štágl, Mar 16 '19 at 17:17
