I'm trying to post my data as XML
to my asp.net core 3.1 web api. However Collection properties are not getting binded in my model.
Here is my class,
public class Test
{
public int Usrno { get; set; }
public string PCname { get; set; }
public List<Best> Best { get; set; }
}
public class Best
{
public string Hello { get; set; }
public Worst[] Worst { get; set; }
}
public class Worst
{
public int Ko { get; set; }
public Win[] Win { get; set; }
}
public class Win
{
public string Kiss { get; set; }
}
Here is my POST
end point,
[HttpPost]
[Consumes("application/xml")]
[Produces("application/xml")]
public IActionResult Create([FromBody]Test data)
{
return Created("", data);
}
Here is my XML
input,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<Usrno>0</Usrno>
<PCname>string</PCname>
<Best>
<Hello>string</Hello>
<Worst>
<Ko>0</Ko>
<Win>
<Kiss>string</Kiss>
</Win>
</Worst>
</Best>
</Test>
Here is the screen print of the POST
method in API,
Here is my ConfigureServices
in Startup.cs
,
services
.AddControllers()
.AddJsonOptions(options => { options.JsonSerializerOptions.PropertyNamingPolicy = null; })
.AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
.AddXmlDataContractSerializerFormatters();
I couldn't figure out what I'm missing. Please assist
Try using a XmlElementAttribute
on Best
element.
XmlElement attribute indicates that a public field or property represents an XML element when the XmlSerializer serializes or deserializes the object that contains it.
C#
public class Test
{
public int Usrno { get; set; }
public string PCname { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Best")]
public List<Best> Best { get; set; }
}
The MVC's XmlSerializerInputFormatter
calls XmlSerializer
to deserialize the body of the request and the formetter uses this attribute to mark XML elements.
An array or List in xml serialization expects two tags like "Names" and "Name". You only have one tag so you need to add the attribute XmlElement. This issue occurs in multiple places in your classes. I fixed all the issue. See classes below
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(FILENAME);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Test));
Test test = (Test)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
public class Test
{
public int Usrno { get; set; }
public string PCname { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Best")]
public List<Best> Best { get; set; }
}
public class Best
{
public string Hello { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Worst")]
public Worst[] Worst { get; set; }
}
public class Worst
{
public int Ko { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Win")]
public Win[] Win { get; set; }
}
public class Win
{
public string Kiss { get; set; }
}
}
