Auto Convert Json String to C# Object

Question

I have this string below with '\\t', '\\r' and '\\n' which I need to convert to a valid Json format with a loop so that I can Deserializeto an object without listing the object properties.

"Title\\tFirstName\\tLastName\\tAge\\r\\nMr\\tBla bla\\tBla bla\\t25\\r\\nMiss\\tBla bla\\tBla bla\\t35\\r\\n"

You can use String.Split method to solve your problem.

• First of all you need to split by \\r\\n - this will give you individual rows with data
• You can loop through these rows and split each of them by \\t symbol - this will give you array of properties
• After you have all the "ingredients" - you can build your objects: using dynamic objects new { firstName = arrayData[0], lastName = arrayData[1], ..} , or you can create a new class with all the required properties
• Last step will be serialize collection of your objects into json - I would recommend Json.NET library for this purpose: http://www.newtonsoft.com/json
