Is this sample in a correct format based on JSON API specifications? In another word can we have in attributes an array?

{
  "meta": {
  },
  "links": {
    "self": ""
  },
  "jsonapi": {
    "version": "",
    "meta": {
    }
  },
  "data": {
    "type": "typeof(class)",
    "id": "string",
    "attributes": [
      {
        "item1": "Value1",
        "item2": "Value2",
        "item3": "Value3"
      }
    ],
    "links": {
      "self": ""
    }
  }
}

I am not sure even after reading that (link) If correct how can I Deserialize it I am using JSONAPISerializer package in C#

CodePudding user response：

1. Visit https://json2csharp.com/
2. Paste your JSON. In Property Settings select Use Pascal Case.
3. Copy class and paste into your project.
4. Goto NuGet package manager and install newtonsoft json package.
5. Use like, var myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root(myJsonResponse);

Why aren't you sure? Here's a quote from JSON API specification:

Attributes may contain any valid JSON value, including complex data structures involving JSON objects and arrays.

Class System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer can deserialize a JSON array into a C# IEnumerable<T>. So you may create an object that has a property Attributes of type IEnumerable<T> and deserialize like this:

using System.IO;
using System.Text.Json;

// ...

string json = File.ReadAllText("YourJsonDocumentPath");

YourEntityDescribedInJsonDocument obj = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<YourEntityDescribedInJsonDocument>(json, new JsonSerializerOptions());
