Azure Cosmos DB upload JSON file via C#/.net

Viewed 30

I am looking for a way to upload a JSON file directly to my Azure Cosmos DB container. I am aware of the "classic" way doing it like:

  • load the JSON file
  • convert it via JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Item>>(data);
  • upload it like "container.CreateItemAsync(item)"

I would like to skip the part where I have to deserialize the JSON and convert it into a C# object.

Is there a method or way like this?

container.CreateItemAsync(myData.json)

With the Cosmos DB SQL API v3 .NET SDK, there is a stream option which will allow already serialized payloads to be passed in container.CreateItemStreamAsync()
