I can serialize XML to a JSON string like this:

var xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.LoadXml("<person><name>John</name></person>");
string jsonString = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(xml, Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None);
Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Response.Write(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonString));

That would give me:

"{\"person\":{\"name\":\"John\"}}"

But how can I serialize it to a JSON object? Like this:

{"person":{"name":"John"}}

Sometimes we just want to make it harder than it is ...

var xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.LoadXml("<person><name>John</name></person>");
Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Response.Write(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(xml));

What I did wrong was to serialize the XML into a string and then serialize it again.

  • Can a local .xml file be used in place of the xml string in the Loadxml()? – cardiac7 May 28 '15 at 15:11

    @cardiac7 Yes you can use any `XmlDocument` for that. It does not matter how the object was filled with XML. – Koopakiller Aug 05 '15 at 12:07

when you will access data then / automatically does not show . I am accessing in HTML5 help of AJAX post . Result is showing

in C# result is showing that "{\"person\":{\"name\":\"John\"}}"

But in HTML5 , it is working fine {"person":{"name":"John"}}
