I have a stored procedure that sends a response as an xml string
So I've create a class and want to map the response of this store procedure to an Object of some type
This is my class and it's proprieties.
The Populate method is where i want to do my xml to object mapping.
[XmlRoot("SiteItem")]
public class SiteItem : BaseEntity<SiteItem>
{
[XmlElement("IdSiteItem")]
public int IdSiteItem { get; set; }
[XmlElement("ItemName")]
public string ItemName{ get; set; }
public override SiteItem Populate(DataRow entity)
{
var column = entity["Column1"].ToString();
XmlSerializer serialize = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SiteItem));
string result = column.Replace("<Root>", "");
result = result.Replace("</Root>", "");
result = result.Replace("</SiteItem>", "");
result = result.Replace("/>", ">");
result = result.Replace(">", "/>|");
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> siteItems = result.Split('|').ToList();
siteItems.RemoveAll(item => string.IsNullOrEmpty(item));
foreach (var item in siteItems)
{
using (StringReader stream = new System.IO.StringReader(item))
{
SiteItem response = (SiteItem)serialize.Deserialize(stream);
//=> response always null
//=> stream has the following format
//=> <SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"8436\" ItemName=\"demoweb\" >
}
}
return null;
}
}
}
The problem is that the mapping from xml node to SiteItem does not happen, the props are their default values.
This is the type of response I have from the stored procedure
"<Root>
<SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"8436\" ItemName=\"demoweb\" >
<SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"8465\" ItemName=\"\" />
<SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"8535\" ItemName=\"DocumentPreview\" /></SiteItem>
<SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"7413\" ItemName=\"GlobalNews Search\" />
<SiteItem IdSiteItem=\"5838\" ItemName=\"GlobalQuestionsForm\" />
</Root>"
So what I did is first remove <Root> and </root>. Remove the </SiteItem> since not all elements have this node ending.
After I obtain a string that is free of Root and /SiteItem I've applied a delimiter "|" so that i can split and store the string as a list of strings
each list item is a SiteItem node.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks
[XmlRoot("Root")]
public class SiteItem
{
[XmlElement("SiteItem")]
public List<SiteItemChild> Child { get; set; }
}
And the class that represents the child
public class SiteItemChild
{
[XmlAttribute("IdSiteItem")]
public int IdSiteItem { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("ItemName")]
public int ItemName{ get; set; }
}
this is the deserializer.
public SiteItem Deserialize(string xmlString)
{
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(xmlString));
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SiteItem));
SiteItem #object = (SiteItem)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
return #object;
}
}
A better way for this situation.
public SiteItem Deserialize(string xmlString)
{
string processedXml = xmlString.Replace("<Root>" , "");
processedXml = processedXml.Replace("</Root>" , "");
processedXml = processedXml.Replace("</SiteItem>", "");
processedXml = processedXml.Replace(" />", ">");
processedXml = processedXml.Replace(">", "></SiteItem>");
processedXml = processedXml.Insert(0, "<Root>");
processedXml = processedXml.Insert(processedXml.Length, "
</Root>");
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(processedXml));
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SiteItem));
SiteItem #object = (SiteItem)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
return #object;
}
}
Why I did this? Because some elements SiteItem nodes have "/>" ending others ">" and others " ... so i standardized by all SiteItems to have an ending tag.
The standard
In the last string processing part i just added the Root start and ending tag again.
Why i've choosen this solution? Specific to my case the business logic is done in procedures and the problem here is that some procedures send an xmlString other send dataSets.

When I serialize the value : If there is no value present in for data then it's coming like below format.
<Note>
<Type>Acknowledged by PPS</Type>
<Data />
</Note>
But what I want xml data in below format:
<Note>
<Type>Acknowledged by PPS</Type>
<Data></Data>
</Note>
Code For this i have written :
[Serializable]
public class Notes
{
[XmlElement("Type")]
public string typeName { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Data")]
public string dataValue { get; set; }
}
I am not able to figure out what to do for achieve data in below format if data has n't assign any value.
<Note>
<Type>Acknowledged by PPS</Type>
<Data></Data>
</Note>
You can do this by creating your own XmlTextWriter to pass into the serialization process.
public class MyXmlTextWriter : XmlTextWriter
{
public MyXmlTextWriter(Stream stream) : base(stream, Encoding.UTF8)
{
}
public override void WriteEndElement()
{
base.WriteFullEndElement();
}
}
You can test the result using:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Notes));
var writer = new MyXmlTextWriter(stream);
serializer.Serialize(writer, new Notes() { typeName = "Acknowledged by PPS", dataValue="" });
var result = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(stream.ToArray());
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
If you saved your string somewhere (e.g a file) you can use this simple Regex.Replace:
var replaced = Regex.Replace(File.ReadAllText(name), #"<([^<>/]+)\/>", (m) => $"<{m.Groups[1].Value.Trim()}></{m.Groups[1].Value.Trim()}>");
File.WriteAllText(name, replaced);
IMO it's not possibe to generate your desired XML using Serialization. But, you can use LINQ to XML to generate the desired schema like this -
XDocument xDocument = new XDocument();
XElement rootNode = new XElement(typeof(Notes).Name);
foreach (var property in typeof(Notes).GetProperties())
{
if (property.GetValue(a, null) == null)
{
property.SetValue(a, string.Empty, null);
}
XElement childNode = new XElement(property.Name, property.GetValue(a, null));
rootNode.Add(childNode);
}
xDocument.Add(rootNode);
XmlWriterSettings xws = new XmlWriterSettings() { Indent=true };
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("D:\\Sample.xml", xws))
{
xDocument.Save(writer);
}
Main catch is in case your value is null, you should set it to empty string. It will force the closing tag to be generated. In case value is null closing tag is not created.
Kludge time - see Generate System.Xml.XmlDocument.OuterXml() output thats valid in HTML
Basically after XML doc has been generated go through each node, adding an empty text node if no children
// Call with
addSpaceToEmptyNodes(xmlDoc.FirstChild);
private void addSpaceToEmptyNodes(XmlNode node)
{
if (node.HasChildNodes)
{
foreach (XmlNode child in node.ChildNodes)
addSpaceToEmptyNodes(child);
}
else
node.AppendChild(node.OwnerDocument.CreateTextNode(""))
}
(Yes I know you shouldn't have to do this - but if your sending the XML to some other system that you can't easily fix then have to be pragmatic about things)
You can add a dummy field to prevent the self-closing element.
[XmlText]
public string datavalue= " ";
Or if you want the code for your class then Your class should be like this.
public class Notes
{
[XmlElement("Type")]
public string typeName { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Data")]
private string _dataValue;
public string dataValue {
get {
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(_dataValue))
return " ";
else
return _dataValue;
}
set {
_dataValue = value;
}
}
}
In principal, armen.shimoon's answer worked for me. But if you want your XML output pretty printed without having to use XmlWriterSettings and an additional Stream object (as stated in the comments), you can simply set the Formatting in the constructor of your XmlTextWriter class.
public MyXmlTextWriter(string filename) : base(filename, Encoding.UTF8)
{
this.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
}
(Would have posted this as a comment but am not allowed yet ;-))
Effectively the same as Ryan's solution which uses the standard XmlWriter (i.e. there's no need for a derived XmlTextWriter class), but written using linq to xml (XDocument)..
private static void AssignEmptyElements(this XNode node)
{
if (node is XElement e)
{
e.Nodes().ToList().ForEach(AssignEmptyElements);
if (e.IsEmpty)
e.Value = string.Empty;
}
}
usage..
AssignEmptyElements(document.FirstNode);
I searched and tried some attributes but none of them worked for my below scenario:
public class ObjSer
{
[XmlElement("Name")]
public string Name
{
get; set;
}
}
//Code to serialize
var obj = new ObjSer();
obj.Name = "<tag1>Value</tag1>";
var stringwriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
serializer.Serialize(stringwriter, obj);
Output would be as follows:
<ObjSer><Name><tag1>Value</tag1></Name></ObjSer>
But I need output as:
<ObjSer><Name><tag1>Value</tag1></Name></ObjSer>
Scenario 2: In some cases I need to set:
obj.Name = "Value";
Is there any attribute or method I can override to make it possible?
You can't with default serializer. XmlSerializer does encoding of all values during serialization.
If you want your member to hold xml value, it must be XmlElement. Here is how you can accomplish it
public class ObjSer
{
[XmlElement("Name")]
public XmlElement Name
{
get; set;
}
}
var obj = new ObjSer();
// <-- load xml
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<tag1>Value</tag1>");
obj.Name = doc.DocumentElement;
// --> assign the element
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, obj);
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<ObjSer xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Name>
<tag1>Value</tag1>
</Name>
</ObjSer>
UPDATE:
In case if you want to use XElement instead of XmlElement, here is sample on how to do it
public class ObjSer
{
[XmlElement("Name")]
public XElement Name
{
get; set;
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Code to serialize
var obj = new ObjSer();
obj.Name = XDocument.Parse("<tag1>Value</tag1>").Document.FirstNode as XElement;
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, obj);
}
No, you can't. It is the natural and usual behaviour of the xml serializer. The serializer doesn't have to handle within the XML strings. So, it escapes the xml as expected.
You should decode the escaped string again while deserializing it.
If you want to add dynamically elements in the XML I suggest you to use Linq to XML and you can create tag1 or another kind of elements easily.
I would suggest serializing to an XDocument then converting that to a string and manually unescaping the desired part and writing it to a file. I would say this would give you the least headache it shouldn't be more than a couple lines of code. If you need it I can provide some code example if needed.
I found one more way of changing the type
public class NameNode
{
public string tag1
{
get; set;
}
[XmlText]
public string Value
{
get; set;
}
}
public class ObjSer
{
[XmlElement("Name")]
public NameNode Name
{
get; set;
}
}
To set value of Name:
var obj = new ObjSer();
var valueToSet = "<tag1>Value</tag1>";
//or var valueToSet = "Value";
//With XML tag:
if (valueToSet.Contains("</"))
{
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(valueToSet);
obj.Name.tag1 = doc.InnerText;
}
else //Without XML Tags
{
obj.Name.Value = senderRecipient.Name;
}
This solution will work in both cases, but has limitation. It will work only for predefined tags (ex. tag1)
Given below is the type of JSON response ,
{
"?xml":{
"#version":"1.0",
"#encoding":"iso-8859-1"

I am unable to parse the object.Could you please help me out how do I read the attributes and elements after parsing. I am using C#
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(XML);
string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);
//var result = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(jsonText, "xmlreport");
var results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonText);
JToken token = JObject.Parse(jsonText);
var report = token["xmlreport"];
}
My understanding of the question is you've got some Xml and you need to send out json. Couple of points before we get to the code:
1) Don't convert xml to json directly as it causes issues
2) Parse the xml to objects at your end and then work out the format to return; decoupling what comes in and goes out will allow for one of the interfaces to change in the future without impacting the other as you can tweak the mapping
So, onto the code ...
Essentially parse the xml to objects to allow for further processing and then push out as json.
class Program
{
private static string starting =
"<xmlreport title=\"ABC: TEST Most Saved2\" dates=\"Week of May 19,2013\"><columns><column name=\"Page\" type=\"dimension\">Page</column><column name=\"Events\" type=\"metric\" hastotals=\"true\">Events</column></columns><rows><row rownum=\"1\"><cell columnname=\"page\" csv=\"http://www.ABC.com/profile/recipebox\">http://www.ABC.com/profile/recipebox</cell><cell columnname=\"events\" percentage=\"0.1%\">489</cell></row><row rownum=\"2\"><cell columnname=\"page\" csv=\"http://www.ABC.com/recipes/peanut-butter-truffle-brownies/c5c602e4-007b-43e0-aaab-2f9aed89524c\">http://www.ABC.com/recipes/peanut-butter-truffle-brownies/c5c602e4-007b-43e0-aaab-2f9aed89524c</cell><cell columnname=\"events\" percentage=\"0.0%\">380</cell></row></rows><totals><pagetotals><total columnname=\"events\" value=\"1820.00000\">1,820 (0.2%)</total></pagetotals><reporttotals><total columnname=\"events\" value=\"7838.000000\">7,838 (0.8%)</total></reporttotals><timeperiodtotals><total columnname=\"events\" value=\"955774.000000\">955,774 (100.0%)</total></timeperiodtotals></totals></xmlreport>";

{
// parse from xml to objects
StringReader reader = new StringReader(starting);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XmlReport));
var xmlreport = (XmlReport)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(reader);
// todo: do some process mapping ...
// parse out as json
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(xmlreport);
Console.WriteLine(json);
Console.ReadLine();
}

I've tried to parse the json to the original xml to begin with so appologies if I've not interpreted it properly. I've not done the entire structure but I hope the example above gives you an idea of how to do the rest.
Hope this helps.
One way of doing this is by getting the actual Data Structure of that JSON object that you have there.
Then create classes representing that data structure (if you can get a complete response -- having all properties, you just use this site to convert that to classes).
After that, deserialize that JSON object into your class using different libraries available. A sample could be this one.
Use this (JSon.NET) and a recursive function writes all keys and values to output window.

I have the following XML structure (edited for brevity) which I have no control over.
<GetVehicles>
<ApplicationArea>
<Sender>
<Blah></Blah>
</Sender>
</ApplicationArea>
<DataArea>
<Error>
<Blah></Blah>
</Error>
<Vehicles>
<Vehicle>
<Colour>Blue</Colour>
<NumOfDoors>3</NumOfDoors>
<BodyStyle>Hatchback</BodyStyle>
<Vehicle>
</Vehicles>
</DataArea>
</GetVehicles>
I have the following Class:
[XmlRoot("GetVehicles"), XmlType("Vehicle")]
public class Vehicle
{
public string Colour { get; set; }
public string NumOfDoors { get; set; }
public string BodyStyle { get; set; }
}
I want to be able to deserialize the XML into a single instance of this Vehicle class. 99% of the time, the XML should only return a single 'Vehicle' element. I'm not yet dealing with it yet if it contains multiple 'Vehicle' elements inside the 'Vehicles' element.
Unfortunately, the XML data isn't currently being mapped to my class properties; they are being left blank upon calling my Deserialize method.
For completeness, here is my Deserialize method:
private static T Deserialize<T>(string data) where T : class, new()
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(data))
return null;
var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
using (var sr = new StringReader(data))
{
return (T)ser.Deserialize(sr);
}
}
I don't care about the other more parent elements such as 'ApplicationArea', 'Error' etc. I am only interesting in extracting the data within the 'Vehicle' element. How do I get it to only deserialize this data from the XML?
Building on Ilya's answer:
This can be optimized slightly, since there is already a loaded node: there is no need to pass the xml down to a string (using vehicle.ToString()), only to cause the serializer to have to re-parse it (using a StringReader).
Instead, we can created a reader directly using XNode.CreateReader:
private static T Deserialize<T>(XNode data) where T : class, new()
{
if (data == null)
return null;
var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
return (T)ser.Deserialize(data.CreateReader());
}
Or if data is a XmlNode, use a XmlNodeReader:
private static T Deserialize<T>(XmlNode data) where T : class, new()
{
if (data == null)
return null;
var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
using (var xmlNodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(data))
{
return (T)ser.Deserialize(xmlNodeReader);
}
}
We can then use:
var vehicle = XDocument.Parse(xml)
.Descendants("Vehicle")
.First();
Vehicle v = Deserialize<Vehicle>(vehicle);
I'm not aware of the full context of your problem, so this solution might not fit into your domain. But one solution is to define your model as:
[XmlRoot("Vehicle")] //<-- optional
public class Vehicle
{
public string Colour { get; set; }
public string NumOfDoors { get; set; }
public string BodyStyle { get; set; }
}
and pass specific node into Deserialize method using LINQ to XML:
var vehicle = XDocument.Parse(xml)
.Descendants("Vehicle")
.First();
Vehicle v = Deserialize<Vehicle>(vehicle.ToString());
//display contents of v
Console.WriteLine(v.BodyStyle); //prints Hatchback
Console.WriteLine(v.Colour); //prints Blue
Console.WriteLine(v.NumOfDoors); //prints 3
I'm trying to convert the result I get from my web service as a string and convert it to an object.
This is the string I'm getting from my service:
<StatusDocumentItem><DataUrl/><LastUpdated>2013-01-31T15:28:13.2847259Z</LastUpdated><Message>The processing of this task has started</Message><State>1</State><StateName>Started</StateName></StatusDocumentItem>
So I have a class for this as:
[XmlRoot]
public class StatusDocumentItem
{
[XmlElement]
public string DataUrl;
[XmlElement]
public string LastUpdated;
[XmlElement]
public string Message;
[XmlElement]
public int State;
[XmlElement]
public string StateName;
}
And this is how I'm trying to get that string as an object of type StatusDocumentItem with XMLDeserializer (NB. operationXML contains the string):
string operationXML = webRequest.getJSON(args[1], args[2], pollURL);
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(StatusDocumentItem));
StatusDocumentItem result;
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(operationXML))
{
result = (StatusDocumentItem)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
Console.WriteLine(result.Message);
But my result object is always empty. What am I doing wrong?
Update. The value I get from my operationXML is like this and has an unnecessary xmlns attribute that is blocking my deserialization. Without that attribute, everything is working fine. Here is how it looks like:
"<StatusDocumentItem xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"><DataUrl/><LastUpdated>2013-02-01T12:35:29.9517061Z</LastUpdated><Message>Job put in queue</Message><State>0</State><StateName>Waiting to be processed</StateName></StatusDocumentItem>"
Try this:
string xml = "<StatusDocumentItem xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"><DataUrl/><LastUpdated>2013-02-01T12:35:29.9517061Z</LastUpdated><Message>Job put in queue</Message><State>0</State><StateName>Waiting to be processed</StateName></StatusDocumentItem>";
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(StatusDocumentItem));
StatusDocumentItem result;
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
{
result = (StatusDocumentItem)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
Console.WriteLine(result.Message);
Console.ReadKey();
Does it show "Job put in queue"?
This generic extension works well for me....
public static class XmlHelper
{
public static T FromXml<T>(this string value)
{
using TextReader reader = new StringReader(value);
return (T) new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)).Deserialize(reader);
}
}
