如何在没有属性标识符的情况下反序列化json？

Question

Assume a string of serialised data, that is close to JSON, except it does not contain property identifiers. So instead of

{
    "data": "Click Here",
    "size": 36,
    "style": "bold",
    "name": "text1",
    "hOffset": 250,
    "vOffset": 100,
    "alignment": "center",
    "onMouseUp": "sun1.opacity = (sun1.opacity / 100) * 90;"
}

I only have

{"Click Here", 36, "bold", "text1", 250, 100, "center", "sun1.opacity = (sun1.opacity / 100) * 90;"}

In this case, the property names don't matter. They can, for instance, be assigned later as property1, property2 ...

I failed to autogenerate the class, since this is not a valid JSON. Is there a way to recognize the class even though? ... And then to deserialise that JSON to an object of that class? I prefer c#-based advices.

In case it helps, I attach the piece I am dealing with.

Answer 1

You can try transforming this into a JSON object with a single property that is an array. A quick look at it doesn't show anything weird, so the simplest thing you can try would be something like:

string data = "[...]"; // your sample data above
string jsonData = "{'data':" + data + "}";

and then try running the JSON parser on jsonData . That still doesn't solve the problem that these are some sort of records, but nothing guarantees you they all have the same structure, nor it helps you with the meaning of that data, but at least should give you a simple way to iterate over the data.

Note that you will likely need to do an additional transformation, as I noticed there are quite a few ,, sequences, which depending on the JSON parser might throw an error or be considered as empty element. (And I don't remember if the standard allows it) To be on the safe side though, I'd suggest you do quick find and replace of ,, to something like ,{}, (empty JSON object), ,"null", (a well-known string that will never show in regular data), or something else that you can easily recognize.
