Question

I try to convert my XML String to Json with Json.Net

In the Json.Net Documentation it says that i have to use this code to convert xml to json:

string xml = @"<person id='1'>
         <name>Alan</name>
        <url>http://www.google.com</url>
         <role>Admin1</role>
     </person>";

 XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
 doc.LoadXml(xml);

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);

But in my Windows 8 App i can’t find the XmlDocument class neither the SerializeXmlNode.

I tried it with these classes and functions:

 var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
 XDocument xdoc = new XDocument();
 xdoc = XDocument.Load(result);
 // Parse the JSON Radio data
 string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXNode(xdoc);
 var radios = JsonArray.Parse(result);

But i get the following error:

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Illegal characters in path.

If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

In result i have the correct xml loaded. Starting with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item>...</item>

Answer 1

use XDocument.Parse instead of XDocument.Load which loads the xml from an url
