Easy way to create single element Json C#-CodePudding

I know that that could be easily written by myself but probably there is a library that can do something like that. I need an easy way (static method) to create JSON with one element. Something like that one

OneElementJson("name", "value")

and have something like that

{"name":"value"}

as result. The name should be always a string, value in most cases also string but overloading for tables list will be nice.

I just created a library for you in a minute

public string GetOneElementJson(string name, string value)
{
    return "{\""   name   "\":\""    value    "\"}";
}

test

  var json=GetOneElementJson("name", "value");
   
   var jObject =JObject.Parse(json);

output

{"name":"value"}

If all you need is the simple string then Serge's example is neat and simple.

If you want a more generic way of doing this then use var or Dynamic ojects and any of the JSON serializers. Here's an example from .NET Core:

Using var:

var thing2 = new { name = "value" };

string jsonString2 = System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Serialize(thing2);
Console.WriteLine(jsonString2);

Using Dynamic:

dynamic thing = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject(); 
thing.name = "value";

string jsonString = System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Serialize(thing);
Console.WriteLine(jsonString);

The result is: {"name":"value"}
