I am trying to download a .json
blob that I have stored in a container in the Azure Storage
using Newtonsoft.Json
to write it to an object.
I am doing this by calling:
(CloudBlockBlob) blob.DownloadToStream(stream);
However, instead of writing the stream to a file in the local app directory, I want to return the json object
doing Json(result)
This is what I have tried:
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
blob.DownloadToStream(stream);
var serializer = new JsonSerializer();
using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
{
using (var jsonTextReader = new JsonTextReader(sr))
{
result = serializer.Deserialize(jsonTextReader);
}
}
}
At the end my jsonTextReader
variable is empty and the object null
What can I do to accomplish this?
Thank you
Please reset the stream's position to 0
after reading the blob into the stream. So your code would be:
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
blob.DownloadToStream(stream);
stream.Position = 0;//resetting stream's position to 0
var serializer = new JsonSerializer();
using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
{
using (var jsonTextReader = new JsonTextReader(sr))
{
var result = serializer.Deserialize(jsonTextReader);
}
}
}
