Sending Json looking formatted plain text to be de-serialized.

[Stephen Holdorf]

If you send plain Json formatted un-serialized text from a web api and have it be de-serialized in a C# function using the jsonConvert.DeserializeObject functional? I have a co-worker who created a web api in the cloud and he sends plain text formatted to look like un-serialized Json which I try to use C# functionality to Deserialize but when I try to convert what is sent into Model classes it fails. I am telling him that the C# JsonConvert.SerializeObject must be used or it won't work. Can someone help clarify this with me? This is what is being sent: This is what is being sent: { [ \"accesspoint\" : { \"api\" : \"test\"} ] }

That isn't valid JSON, even if you remove the "\" characters that aren't really there (they are added by VS to show the double quotes). That doesn't mean he's trying to send you JSON at all - so talk to him, and ask him what exactly he is trying to send. If it is JSON and he generates it himself, then he needs to generate code that will work with this: json2csharp - generate c# classes from json[^] or no "real" JSON deserializer will work.
