JsonObject.GetNamedString is returning &nbsp instead of space

Question

GetNamedString method of JsonObject is returning &nbsp for space. For ex." The String " is returned as &nbspThe String&nbsp. Is there any workaround to fix this issues?

Answer 1

how about running it through HtmlDecode or ConvertToText - depending on what content you expect in the string:

JsonObject s = new JsonObject();
s.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, IJsonValue>("val",  JsonValue.CreateStringValue("&nbsp;The String&nbsp;")));
var t = System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(s.GetNamedString("val"));

By the way, I did have to explicitly put the nbsp; in the string to get it to appear, so suspect the JSON you are getting has that embedded (versus it just doing so by default).
