I have a C# dictionary list as follows:

"additionalDataList": [
                {
                    "key": "notes",
                    "value": "haasdas\n\ns"
                },
                {
                    "key": "twigTemplateId",
                    "value": "2"
                },
                {
                    "key": "AssignedUser",
                    "value": {
                        "Name": "To, To",
                        "Id": 108
                    }
                },
                {
                    "key": "assignedUserId",
                    "value": "114"
                }
            ],

But, I need to convert this like:

"additionalDataList": 
                    {
                     
                        "notes": "haasdas\n\ns"
                    },
                    {
                
                        "twigTemplateId": "2"
                    },
                    {
                       
                        "AssignedUser": {
                            "Name": "To, To",
                            "Id": 108
                        }
                    },
                    {
                       
                        "assignedUserId": "114"
                    }
                

How can I get the expected result? I tried to convert in List Object, but did not work.

Update: Code that I have:

 public List<KeyValuePair<string, object>> AdditionalDataList { get; set; }

        public string AdditionalData {
            get
            {
                return _additionalData;
            }
            set
            {   if (!(value is null))
                {
                    AdditionalDataList = ParseJson(value).ToList();
                }
                _additionalData = value;
            }
        }

        public Dictionary<string, object> ParseJson(string json)
        {
            var dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            if (json is null)
            {
                return dict;
            }

            var obj = JObject.Parse(json);

            foreach (var property in obj)
            {
                var name = property.Key;
                var value = property.Value;

                if (value is JArray)
                {
                    dict.Add(name, value.ToArray());
                }
                else if (value is JValue)
                {
                    dict.Add(name, value.ToString());
                }
                else if (value is JObject)
                {
                    dict.Add(name, JObject.Parse(value.ToString()));
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new NotSupportedException("Invalid JSON token type.");
                }
            }

            return dict;
        }

I need to convert the following JSON String: (This is already in Additional Data)

{"notes":"haasdas\n\ns","twigTemplateId":2,"AssignedUser":{"Name":"To, To","Id":108},"assignedUserId":114}

CodePudding user response：

Type List<KeyValuePair<string, object>> for your property AdditionalDataList does not represent your desired json. Common convention is to serialize Dictionary to json object with keys used as names (and not a collection of KeyValuePair, cause as per standard names should be unique):

public Dictionary<string, object> AdditionalDataList { get; set; }
