Json.net Deserialization is failing when my JSON string contains an empty object value where it expects a string.
public class MyObj
{
public Labels labels { get; set; }
public Type type { get; set; }
public int value { get; set; }
[JsonConverter(typeof(SliderTextConverter))]
public string text { get; set; }
}
Sometimes 'text' is equal to an empty object in the source JSON string, '{}'. The JSON.net deserializer seems to bomb because of this. So I am attempting to create a custom JsonConverter to get around this.
public class SliderTextConverter : JsonConverter
{
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
if(reader.Value == null)
{
return null;
}
return serializer.Deserialize<string>(reader);
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return true;
}
}
I am checking to see if the value is null and then just returning 'null' This does not work. I have also tried to just return, "". Both result in the same error:
Unexpected token while deserializing object: EndObject. Path 'data.MyObj[5].text;
What is the correct way to ignore/handle these empty objects in my source json?
Thanks!
This post on Json.NET seems to reference the same problem: http://james.newtonking.com/archive/2012/04/11/json-net-4-5-release-2-serializable-support-and-bug-fixes.aspx
