Question

I have a JSON string as :

var jsonString = JSON.stringify(dataObject);
document.getElementById("hdnChromedata").value = jsonString;

==> hdnChromedata = JSON string

BUT in a different code section I am storing XML serialized string to “hdnChromedata” .as :

XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(vinDescription.GetType());
StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter();

xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, vinDescription);
this.hdnChromedata.Value = textWriter.ToString();

==> hdnChromedata = XML string

AND while retriving the values I am deserializing the string like this :

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(this.hdnChromedata.Value);
XmlNodeReader reader = new XmlNodeReader(doc.DocumentElement);

XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(decodedInfo.GetType());
object textObj = ser.Deserialize(reader);
vinDescription = (AutoExact.AEVINDecoderService.VINDescription)textObj;

HERE the line doc.LoadXml(this.hdnChromedata.Value)
is throwing error when hdnChromedata is a JSON string.

My question is, HOW can I make this JSON String to XML string?

OR is there any other to address this?

Basically I need a method to convert JSON string to XML string in ASP.NET 1.1

You can use the Json.NET library’s JsonConvert for that. See the specifics at http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json/help/index.html?topic=html/ConvertingJSONandXML.htm.

Json.NET is an open-source JSON handling library for .NET, and it’s the best there is.
