When i do a GET request to retrieve my list of Persons the enums(Title) get converted into integers:

class Person {

public Title PersonTitle{ get; set;}
public string Name { get; set;}


}

enum Title {
   STUDENT,
   TEACHER,
   DIRECTOR
}

Let's Say we have the following situation:

Person first = new Person(){
  PersonTitle = Title.STUDENT,
  Name = "Dave"
}

this wil result in the following JSON:

[
 {
   "Name" : "Dave",
   "PersonTitle" : 1,
 }
]

How do I get the real value of the enum (STUDENT in this case) ?

CodePudding user response：

you can set the JsonConverterAttribute

class Person {

[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
public Title PersonTitle{ get; set;}
public string Name { get; set;}


}

CodePudding user response：

You need to add the adequate converter to the JSON serializer.

System.Text.Json:

• Use JsonStringEnumConverter class.

Json.NET:

• Use StringEnumConverter class.
