I have a class which contains a list of items. I want to serialize an instance of this class to json using the DataContractJsonSerializer as a json array. eg.
class MyClass
{
List<MyItem> _items;
}
class MyItem
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public string Description {get;set;}
}
When serialized to json it should be like this :
[{"Name":"one","Description":"desc1"},{"Name":"two","Description":"desc2"}]
[DataContract]
public class MyItem
{
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Description { get; set; }
}
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var graph = new List<MyItem>
{
new MyItem { Name = "one", Description = "desc1" },
new MyItem { Name = "two", Description = "desc2" }
};
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(graph.GetType());
serializer.WriteObject(Console.OpenStandardOutput(), graph);
}
}
