如何将List <expandoobject>中的每个对象转换为自己的类型?

标签: c# json serialization dynamic

我的变量 inputs 定义为 List<ExpandoObject>

这是jsonList的反序列化的结果,jsonList是不同结构的对象的JSON数组:

dynamic inputs = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ExpandoObject>>(jsonList, converter);

循环遍历它们我可以获得每个对象的目标类型,因为它们都包含 Type 的属性 ClassName 目标对象。

foreach (dynamic input in inputs)
{
    // Inside that loop I can get the type
    var inputType = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", input.Type));
    // WCFService is a namespace
    // How can I convert here dynamic **input** object 
    // into an object of type inputType ??
}

基本上我希望在循环中将输入对象转换为 input.Type

中指定为字符串的相应类型

感谢任何帮助。

修改

在for-each循环中,我想做这样的事情:

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(input);
Type T = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", input.Type));
T obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<typeof(T)>(json); // this line fails compilation

这样obj将是一个强类型对象。 我使用json序列化来进行反序列化,这样所有json属性都会自动复制到强类型obj中。 但上面的代码没有编译,最后一行抱怨T:

  

找不到类型或命名空间名称'T'(你错过了吗?   使用指令或程序集引用?)

EDIT2

只是FYI,传入的jsonList具有这种结构,该数组中的每个对象可以具有不同的属性,除了Name和Type:

[
    {
        "Name": "PLAN-A",
        "Type": "CalcInputTypes1",
        "CS": 1.1111,
        "CUSTOM_DATE1": "2015-05-22",
        "CUSTOM_EARN1": 65500.0,
        "GENDER": "Male"
    },
    {
        "Name": "PLAN-B",
        "Type": "CalcInputTypes2",
        "CS": 2.22222,
        "CUSTOM_DATE2": "2015-05-23",
        "CUSTOM_EARN2": 12000.0,
        "PROVINCE": "Ontario"
    }
]

CalcInputTypes1,CalcInputTypes2和很可能CalcInputTypes3,4,5 ......是该数组中此类对象的类型......

感谢大家的帮助,尤其是建议使用JObject而不是ExpandoObject,这使得解决方案变得更加简单和简单: 注意:“thing”将永远不会工作,因为在这种情况下T必须在编译时知道,但我需要在运行时确定类型,因此解决方案将是这样的:

    public CalcOutputTypes Calculate2(string jsonList)
    {
        var jobjects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<JObject>>(jsonList);

        foreach (var jobject in jobjects)
        {
            Type runtimeType = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", jobject.GetValue("TYPE")));

            var input = jobject.ToObject(runtimeType); // Here we convert JObject to the defined type that just created runtime

            // At this moment you have a strongly typed object "input" (CalcInputTypes1 or CalcInputTypes2 or...)

        }

        return new CalcOutputTypes() { STATUS = "Everything is OK !! (input was: json array of heterogeneous objects)" }; // HERE YOU RETURN CalcOutputTypes OBJECT 
    }

您可以避免使用ExpandoObject,而是直接使用LINQ to JSON,如下所示:

        var query = from obj in JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<JObject>>(jsonList, converter)
                    let jType = obj["Type"]
                    where jType != null
                    let type = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", (string)jType))
                    where type != null
                    where obj.Remove("Type") // Assuming this is a synthetic property added during serialization that you want to remove.
                    select obj.ToObject(type);
        var objs = query.ToList();

如果您需要将converter传递给每个特定的ToObject()来电,您可以执行以下操作:

        var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings();
        settings.Converters.Add(converter);
        var serializer = JsonSerializer.Create(settings);

        var query = from obj in JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<JObject>>(jsonList, settings)
                    let jType = obj["Type"]
                    where jType != null
                    let type = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", (string)jType))
                    where type != null
                    where obj.Remove("Type") // Assuming this is a synthetic property added during serialization that you want to remove.
                    select obj.ToObject(type, serializer);
        var objs = query.ToList();

另一种可能的解决方案是在注释中建议@dbc使用Newtonsoft.Json方法JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, type),如下所示:

private T convertTo<T>(string json)
{
    return (T)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, typeof(T));
}

var json = // some serialized json ...
var o = convertTo<MyCustomType>(json);

其中MyCustomType是您输入的类型(var inputType = Type.GetType(string.Format("WCFService.{0}", input.Type));

不要忘记隐式演员(T)

另一种可能性是使用.NET框架内置TypeConverter class编写自己的类型转换器。

你不需要ExpandoObjext的列表,只需像Deserializing heterogenous JSON array into covariant List<> using JSON.NET中所描述的那样使用CustomCreationConverter,所以@JimSan的所有信用

public class Example
{

    [Test]
    public void Test()
    {
        var json =
            "[\r\n    {\r\n        \"Name\": \"PLAN-A\",\r\n        \"Type\": \"CalcInputTypes1\",\r\n        \"CS\": 1.1111,\r\n        \"CUSTOM_DATE1\": \"2015-05-22\",\r\n        \"CUSTOM_EARN1\": 65500.0,\r\n        \"GENDER\": \"Male\"\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n        \"Name\": \"PLAN-B\",\r\n        \"Type\": \"CalcInputTypes2\",\r\n        \"CS\": 2.22222,\r\n        \"CUSTOM_DATE2\": \"2015-05-23\",\r\n        \"CUSTOM_EARN2\": 12000.0,\r\n        \"PROVINCE\": \"Ontario\"\r\n    }\r\n]";

        var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Item>>(json, new JsonItemConverter());

        Assert.That(result[0], Is.TypeOf<CalcInputTypes1>());
        Assert.That(((CalcInputTypes1)result[0]).Gender, Is.EqualTo("Male"));

        Assert.That(result[1], Is.TypeOf<CalcInputTypes2>());
        Assert.That(((CalcInputTypes2)result[1]).Province, Is.EqualTo("Ontario"));
    }

    public class JsonItemConverter : Newtonsoft.Json.Converters.CustomCreationConverter<Item>
    {
        public override Item Create(Type objectType)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public Item Create(Type objectType, JObject jObject)
        {
            var type = (string)jObject.Property("Type");
            switch (type)
            {
                case "CalcInputTypes1":
                    return new CalcInputTypes1();
                case "CalcInputTypes2":
                    return new CalcInputTypes2();
            }

            throw new ApplicationException(String.Format("The given type {0} is not supported!", type));
        }

        public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
        {
            // Load JObject from stream
            var jObject = JObject.Load(reader);

            // Create target object based on JObject
            var target = Create(objectType, jObject);

            // Populate the object properties
            serializer.Populate(jObject.CreateReader(), target);

            return target;
        }
    }

    public abstract class Item
    {
        public string Type { get; set; }
    }

    public class CalcInputTypes1 : Item
    {
        [JsonProperty("GENDER")]
        public string Gender { get; set; }
    }

    public class CalcInputTypes2 : Item
    {
        [JsonProperty("PROVINCE")]
        public string Province { get; set; }
    }
}
