Question

I have an XML string like

<Segment xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Air">
   <carrier />
   ...
</Segment>

I use JSON.NET to convert that to JSON and the end result has the following members

@xmlns:xsi: "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
@xsi:type: "Air"
carrier

At client end, how do I access the type “Air”? Segment.@xsi:type obviously is illegal.

Answer 1

I presume you use Json.Net at client end.

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.LoadXml(xstr);
string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(xDoc);


JObject jObj = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonText);
string air = jObj["Segment"]["@xsi:type"].ToString();
//or
dynamic jObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonText);
string air = jObj.Segment["@xsi:type"];
