将具有特殊字符的Json反序列化为字典

Question

I got some trouble with a problem when use Newtonsoft json.net to deserialize json string to dictionary. It 'sa case of my json string have some special character.

string jsonString = "{\"name\":\"Jones Smith\",\"age\":\"20\",\"description\":\"The one live with \"ALIGATOR\"\"}";
Dictionary<string, object> dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(jsonString);

I try to find a solution in the use of json.net but i not found. So the FINAL plan is remove that "characters". So, what is the best solution for this case?

Answer 1

I think you can't do very much in your situation besides changing the format at the origin. The problem with your input is that there are " characters escaped the same way once in your json directly and once in your json values.

Consider the following part: "description":"The one live with "ALIGATOR"" How should a deserializer know which " should be considered part of the value or part of the json format?

Answer 2

I got the answer, like the last comment, that 's not valid JSON, below is valid JSON

{"name":"Jones Smith","age":"20","description":"The one live with \"ALIGATOR\""}

And all i can do is add '\\' before special characters if the value of field description is "The one live with "ALIGATOR"" to make a valid JSON and convert to c# like this:

string jsonString = {\"name\":\"Jones Smith\",\"age\":\"20\",\"description\":\"The one live with \\"ALIGATOR\\"\"}
