NewtonSoft JSON Serialize And Deserialize in C#, VB.NET

Introduction:


Here we will learn how to use newtonsoft JSON to serialize and deserialize in asp.net using c#, vb.netwith example or Use newtonsoft.json for JSON serialization and deserialization in asp.net using c#,vb.net with example or serializing / deserializing JSON data in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example. By using newtonsoft.json reference in our asp.net applications we can easily serialize and deserialize data based on our requirements.

Description:


In previous articles I explained Jsontextwriter example in c#, vb.net, jQuery convert JSON data to HTML table example, jQuery ajax json example in asp.net, convert data table to json string with example,convert string xml to datatable in c#, vb.net, convert json string to json object with example and many more articles related to in JSON, asp.net, mvc, c#, vb.net. Now I will explain how to use newtonsoft json to serialize and deserialize JSON data in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example.

By using newtonsoft json we can easily serialize and deserialize data based on our requirements. Following are the methods to serialize and deserialize data in asp.net
JSON Serialization Method


Following is the serialize method to serialize list items into JSON string format.


C# Code



List<userdetails> details = new List<userdetails>();
userdetails user = new userdetails();
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 1, username = "suresh", location = "chennai" });
string strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
VB.NET Code



Dim details As New List(Of userdetails)()
Dim user As New userdetails()
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 1,
.username = "suresh",
.location = "chennai"
})
Dim strserialize As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details)
JSON DeSerialization Method


Following is the serialize method to serialize list items into JSON string format.


C# Code



string strmsg = "[{\"userid\":1,\"username\":\"suresh\",\"location\":\"chennai\"},{\"userid\":2,\"username\":\"rohini\",\"location\":\"guntur\"}]";
var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<userdetails>>(strmsg);
VB.NET Code



Dim strmsg As String = "[{""userid"":1,""username"":""suresh"",""location"":""chennai""},{""userid"":2,""username"":""rohini"",""location"":""guntur""}]"
Dim user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of userdetails))(strmsg)
If you want complete example to implement serialization and deserialization for JSON data create new web application and open your Default.aspx page and write the code like as shown below.



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>JSON Serialization and Deserialization in Asp.Net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="btnSerialize" runat="server" Text="Serialize" OnClick="btnSerialize_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnDeserialize" runat="server" Text="DeSerialize" OnClick="btnDeserialize_Click"/>
<div>
Serialized Data: <asp:Label ID="lblserial" runat="server"/>
</div>
<div>
DeSerialized Data: <asp:Label ID="lbldeserial" runat="server"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now open code behind file and write the code like as shown below


C# Code



using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

protected void btnSerialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<userdetails> details = new List<userdetails>();
userdetails user = new userdetails();
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 1, username = "suresh", location = "chennai" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 2, username = "rohini", location = "guntur" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 3, username = "praveen", location = "bangalore" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 4, username = "sateesh", location = "vizag" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 5, username = "madhav", location = "nagpur" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 6, username = "honey", location = "nagpur" });
string strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
lblserial.Text = strserialize;
}

protected void btnDeserialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strmsg = "[{\"userid\":1,\"username\":\"suresh\",\"location\":\"chennai\"},{\"userid\":2,\"username\":\"rohini\",\"location\":\"guntur\"}]";
var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<userdetails>>(strmsg);
}
}
class userdetails
{
public int userid { get; set; }
public string username { get; set; }
public string location { get; set; }
}
VB.NET Code



Imports Newtonsoft.Json
Partial Class VBCode
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

End Sub
Protected Sub btnSerialize_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim details As New List(Of userdetails)()
Dim user As New userdetails()
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 1,
.username = "suresh",
.location = "chennai"
})
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 2,
.username = "rohini",
.location = "guntur"
})
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 3,
.username = "praveen",
.location = "bangalore"
})
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 4,
.username = "sateesh",
.location = "vizag"
})
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 5,
.username = "madhav",
.location = "nagpur"
})
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 6,
.username = "honey",
.location = "nagpur"
})
Dim strserialize As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details)
lblserial.Text = strserialize
End Sub
Protected Sub btnDeserialize_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim strmsg As String = "[{""userid"":1,""username"":""suresh"",""location"":""chennai""},{""userid"":2,""username"":""rohini"",""location"":""guntur""}]"
Dim user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of userdetails))(strmsg)
End Sub
End Class

Public Class userdetails
Public Property userid() As Integer
Get
Return m_userid
End Get
Set
m_userid = Value
End Set
End Property
Private m_userid As Integer
Public Property username() As String
Get
Return m_username
End Get
Set
m_username = Value
End Set
End Property
Private m_username As String
Public Property location() As String
Get
Return m_location
End Get
Set
m_location = Value
End Set
End Property
Private m_location As String
End Class
If you observe above code we added namespace “Newtonsoft.JSON” this we can get by adding reference using Manage Nuget Packages. To add reference right click on your application à selectManage Nuget Packages à Go to Browse Tab à Search for Newtonsoft à From the list selectNewtonsoft.Json and install it.
