How to pretty print using System.Text.Json for unknown object
Using System.Text.Json i can pretty print json using serialization option.
var options = new JsonSerializerOptions{ WriteIndented = true };
jsonString = JsonSerializer.Serialize(typeToSerialize, options);
However, I have string JSON and don't know the concreate type. Howe do I pretty-print JSON string?
My old code was using Newtonsoft and I could do it without serialize/deserialize
public static string JsonPrettify(this string json)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(json))
{
return json;
}
using (var stringReader = new StringReader(json))
using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
{
var jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(stringReader);
var jsonWriter = new JsonTextWriter(stringWriter) { Formatting = Formatting.Indented };
jsonWriter.WriteToken(jsonReader);
return stringWriter.ToString();
}
}
Solution 1:
This works:
using System.Text.Json;
public static string JsonPrettify(this string json)
{
using var jDoc = JsonDocument.Parse(json);
return JsonSerializer.Serialize(jDoc, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true });
}
