在保持父子关系的同时将数据表转换为JSON树

Question

我有一个包含树结构的DataTable。我想将其转换为JSON对象，我可以绑定到ExtJS树。我能够将DataTable转换为树结构（感谢Stackoverflow用户之一），但无法将其转换为JSON。我想返回JSON对象，我应该能够绑定到EXTJs树。

**我不想这样做：string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject（table，Formatting.Indented）;

这只是将DataTable转换为JSON，但它不会保持父子关系。**

这是我的代码。

 public class Node<T>
    {
        public T Item { get; internal set; }
        public int Level { get; internal set; }
        public Node<T> Parent { get; internal set; }
        public IList<Node<T>> Children { get; internal set; }

    }


 public static class Program
    {
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DataTable table = new DataTable();
            table.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("key", typeof (string));
            table.Columns.Add("parentkey", typeof (string));
            table.Columns.Add("Level", typeof (int));


            table.Rows.Add("A", "A1", null, 1);
            table.Rows.Add("B", "A2", "A1", 2);
            table.Rows.Add("C", "A3", "A1", 2);
            table.Rows.Add("D", "A4", "A1", 2);

            table.Rows.Add("E", "A5", "A2", 3);
            table.Rows.Add("F", "A6", "A5", 4);
            table.Rows.Add("G", "A7", "A3", 3);
            table.Rows.Add("H", "A8", "A4", 3);


            table.Rows.Add("I", "A9", "A4", 3);
            table.Rows.Add("J", "A10", "A4", 3);
            table.Rows.Add("K", "A11", "A10", 4);
            table.Rows.Add("L", "A12", "A10", 4);

            table.Rows.Add("M", "A13", "A12", 5);
            table.Rows.Add("N", "A14", "A12", 5);
            table.Rows.Add("O", "A15", "A10", 4);

            table.Rows.Add("P", "A16", null, 1);
            table.Rows.Add("Q", "A17", "A16", 2);

            DataView view = table.DefaultView;

            // By default, the first column sorted ascending.
            view.Sort = "Level, ParentKey DESC";


            var hierarchy =
                table.AsEnumerable()
                    .ToHierarchy(row => row.IsNull("parentkey"),
                                 (parent, child) => parent.Field<string>("key") ==
