JsonPathSerializer

Class library that helps putting data into the right place in a Json string, using JsonPath

Description

Built with .NET and newtonsoft.Json, JsonPathSerializer is a class library that aims to help automated tests and simulations to build large JSON objects using only values and their respective JSON path.

As of version 0.0.1.0, the project is more of a concept demo rather than a complete, deliverable .NET class library. See Constaints about known limitations of JsonPathSerializer.

Quick-demo

After building the project, reference the class library in your program and import it as using JsonPathSerializer;. You will also need the nuget Newtonsoft.Json.

Then, try the following code:

Dictionary<string, string> pathToValue = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
    { "$.say.hello.world", "Hello world!" },
    { "$.say.hello.john", "Hello John!" },
    { "$.say.hi.jane", "Hi jane!" },
    { "$.say.hi.montreal[0]", "Salut Montr�al!" },
    { "$.say.hi.montreal[1]", "Hi Montreal!" },
};

JsonPathManager manager = new JsonPathManager();
foreach (var pair in pathToValue)
{
    manager.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value);
}
Console.WriteLine(manager.Build());

Which gives: {"say":{"hello":{"world":"Hello world!","john":"Hello John!"},"hi":{"jane":"Hi jane!","montreal":["Salut Montr�al!","Hi Montreal!"]}}}, or:

{
  "say": {
    "hello": {
      "world": "Hello world!",
      "john": "Hello John!"
    },
    "hi": {
      "jane": "Hi jane!",
      "montreal": [
        "Salut Montr�al!",
        "Hi Montreal!"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Feature Summary

JsonPathSerializer supports JSON path in both dot and bracket notation, and currently support the following JSON path operation:

  • Property, e.g. $.foo.key or ['foo']['key']
  • Index, e.g. $.foo[1], $[-2]
  • Multiple indexes, e.g. $.foo[1,2], $[-2, 3, 1]

JsonPathManager instance can be initialized with no argument (will create a new empty root), or with a JObject or JArray as its root.

Constaints

There are several important known issues and limitations for JsonPathSerializer for future development:

  • Supports for JSON path operators will be gradually implemented.
