Question

I am using json.net to parse objects and delivering them to a webservice I have made. The objects are LINQ-objects. When I access this webservice with JQuery, it doesn’t parse the JSON correctly. There seems to be something wrong with the formatting..

The JSON-string I get is this one:

[{"typeid":1,
  "typename":"binders",
  "description":"test",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":4,
      "resourcename":"Binders 1",
      "description":"Pakke med hele fire binders!!!",
      "typeid":1,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },    
     {"resourceid":10,
      "resourcename":"xxx",
      "description":"xxx",
      "typeid":1,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 },
 {"typeid":2,
  "typename":"blyant",
  "description":"også dyrt",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":5,
      "resourcename":"Gråblyant 1",
      "description":"Fin og grå",
      "typeid":2,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },
     {"resourceid":6,
      "resourcename":"Rødblyant 1",
      "description":"Må spisses ofte",
      "typeid":2,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 },
 {"typeid":4,
  "typename":"Penn",
  "description":"tester",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":7,
      "resourcename":"Penn 1",
      "description":"Blå og fin",
      "typeid":4,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },
     {"resourceid":11,
      "resourcename":"xxx",
      "description":"xxx",
      "typeid":4,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 },
 {"typeid":5,
  "typename":"Kajakk",
  "description":"Dette er en type båt",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":1,
      "resourcename":"Havkajakk 1",
      "description":"FOr havbruk",
      "typeid":5,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },
     {"resourceid":2,
      "resourcename":"Havkajakk 2",
      "description":"For havbruk",
      "typeid":5,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 },
 {"typeid":6,
  "typename":"3G-modem",
  "description":"Fra NetCom",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":3,
      "resourcename":"3G-modem 1",
      "description":"Gammelt og ustabilg",
      "typeid":6,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },
     {"resourceid":12,
      "resourcename":"xxx",
      "description":"xxx",
      "typeid":6,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 },
 {"typeid":7,
  "typename":"Minnepinne",
  "description":"på 1 KB",
  "RESOURCEs":
    [{"resourceid":8,
      "resourcename":"Minnepinne 1",
      "description":"1 KB (!)",
      "typeid":7,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     },
     {"resourceid":9,
      "resourcename":"Minnepinne 2",
      "description":"20 PB",
      "typeid":7,
      "RESERVATIONLINEs":[]
     }
    ]
 }]

Anyone have a clue why this is not working?

Answer 1

The actual problem here was that this JSON was embedded in a XML-tag. I solved the problem by parsing the JSON-string by using this parser: http://www.json.org/js.html

Of cource this is not ideal, as JQuery should do this for me, but until I find a way for .NET-webservices to return the raw JSON-string, not embedded in a XML-tag, this solution works =)
