XmlNodeConverter只能转换以对象开头的JSON

我的webapi方法是:

public JsonResult<List<MyClass>> PullData()
{
    List<MyClass> data = new List<MyClass>();
    data = db.TableName.Select(x => new MyClass
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        IsActive = x.IsActive,
        //other attribute..
    }).ToList();

    return Json(data);
}

我正在使用这个webapi:

public async Task<string> Index()
{
    string apiUrl = "http://localhost:90/api/Scheduler/pulldata";

    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(apiUrl);
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(apiUrl);
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var data = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(data, "root"); //exception: XmlNodeConverter can only convert JSON that begins with an object.
        }
    }
    return "Error";
}

我收到错误:

  

XmlNodeConverter只能转换以对象开头的JSON。

同样在api消费方法(即Index)中,当我调试var data = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();中的数据为JSON Visualizer时,它显示数据正常。

但是当我做XML可视化工具时,它不会显示数据。 enter image description here

更新 数据太大了。我无法分享。这是数据的屏幕截图。 enter image description here

更新2:

以下是来自开头的json数据的一部分:

[{"LearningActivityKey":2122,"ModuleName":"certName","ModuleVersion":1.0,"ModuleDescription":"<p><span style=\"background-color:rgb(240, 240, 240); font-family:archivo narrow,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:20px; white-space:pre-line\">Learn SAP

更新3:

我已经更改了webapi方法PullData()以仅发送两条记录,因此我们可以轻松地将问题视为json数据的问题。

完整的数据是:

[{"LearningActivityKey":2122,"ModuleName":"certName","ModuleVersion":0.0,"ModuleDescription":null,"BadgeName":null,"BadgeVersion":null,"BadgeDescription":null,"MozillaBadge":null,"LearningActivityName":null,"LearningActivityDescription":null,"StepName":null,"StepVersion":null,"StepDescription":null,"IsActive":false,"IsPublished":false,"CreatedDate":"0001-01-01T00:00:00","ModifiedDate":null},{"LearningActivityKey":2122,"ModuleName":"certName","ModuleVersion":0.0,"ModuleDescription":null,"BadgeName":null,"BadgeVersion":null,"BadgeDescription":null,"MozillaBadge":null,"LearningActivityName":null,"LearningActivityDescription":null,"StepName":null,"StepVersion":null,"StepDescription":null,"IsActive":false,"IsPublished":false,"CreatedDate":"0001-01-01T00:00:00","ModifiedDate":null}]

我在https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/粘贴了数据,并说:

XML Visualizer仍然没有显示任何数据。

异常是不言自明的:除非根令牌是对象,否则无法将JSON转换为XML,即使您使用JsonConvertDeserializeXmlNode(String, String)方法指定外部根元素名称也是如此。

至于为什么会这样,文档页面Converting between JSON and XML显示JSON数组转换为重复的XML元素序列而没有添加外部容器元素。即像这样的JSON(从文档中简化):

{
  "root": {
    "person": [
      {
        "name": "Alan"
      },
      {
        "name": "Louis"
      }
    ]
  }
}

转换为XML,如下所示:

<root>
  <person>
    <name>Alan</name>
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>Louis</name>
  </person>
</root>

请注意,创建了一个外部<root>节点,以及<person>节点的重复序列 - 但两者之间没有任何内容?如果JSON中没有具有"root"属性的外部对象,那么Json.NET将尝试使用多个<person>根元素创建XML。 XML standard不允许这一点,它只需要一个根元素。因此,看起来JSON数组必须至少包含在两个级别的JSON对象嵌套中才能成功转换为XML(尽管其中一个级别可以通过{{1指定外部根元素名称来实现) }})。

作为解决方法,您可以引入以下扩展方法,将JSON嵌套在额外的对象级别中。

首先,通过How to string multiple TextReaders together?Rex M的答案中抓取JsonConvertDeserializeXmlNode(String, String)ChainedTextReader。使用它们,创建以下扩展方法:

public static TextReader Extensions.Concat(this TextReader first, TextReader second)

按如下方式转换为XML:

public static partial class JsonExtensions
{
    public static XmlDocument DeserializeXmlNode(string json, string rootName, string rootPropertyName)
    {
        return DeserializeXmlNode(new StringReader(json), rootName, rootPropertyName);
    }

    public static XmlDocument DeserializeXmlNode(TextReader textReader, string rootName, string rootPropertyName)
    {
        var prefix = "{" + JsonConvert.SerializeObject(rootPropertyName) + ":";
        var postfix = "}";

        using (var combinedReader = new StringReader(prefix).Concat(textReader).Concat(new StringReader(postfix)))
        {
            var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
            {
                Converters = { new Newtonsoft.Json.Converters.XmlNodeConverter() { DeserializeRootElementName = rootName} },
                DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None,
            };
            using (var jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(combinedReader) { CloseInput = false, DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None })
            {
                return JsonSerializer.CreateDefault(settings).Deserialize<XmlDocument>(jsonReader);
            }
        }
    }
}

public static class Extensions
{
    public static TextReader Concat(this TextReader first, TextReader second)
    {
        return new ChainedTextReader(first, second);
    }

    private class ChainedTextReader : TextReader
    {
        private TextReader first;
        private TextReader second;
        private bool readFirst = true;

        public ChainedTextReader(TextReader first, TextReader second)
        {
            this.first = first;
            this.second = second;
        }

        public override int Peek()
        {
            if (readFirst)
            {
                return first.Peek();
            }
            else
            {
                return second.Peek();
            }
        }

        public override int Read()
        {
            if (readFirst)
            {
                int value = first.Read();
                if (value == -1)
                {
                    readFirst = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    return value;
                }
            }
            return second.Read();
        }

        public override void Close()
        {
            first.Close();
            second.Close();
        }

        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            base.Dispose(disposing);
            if (disposing)
            {
                first.Dispose();
                second.Dispose();
            }
        }
    }
}

使用您问题中的JSON,生成以下XML:

var doc = JsonExtensions.DeserializeXmlNode(data, "root", "array");
