I have a List that I would like to convert to JSON using C# and Newtonsoft.
tags
[0]: "foo"
[1]: "bar"
Output to be:-
{"tags": ["foo", "bar"]}
Can anybody point me in the right direction please? I can convert the List to JSON okay but they key thing here is I need the "tags" part in the JSON which I do not get with a convert using JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tags).
You could use this.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<string> messages = new List<string>();
messages.Add("test");
messages.Add("test 2");
Items data = new Items { items = messages };
string output = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
JObject jo = JObject.Parse(output);
Console.WriteLine(jo);
}
public class Items
{
public List<string> items { get; set; }
}
Produces:
{
"items": [
"test",
"test 2"
]
}
