ObjectCreationHandling setting |
This sample deserializes JSON with ObjectCreationHandling set to Replace so that collection values aren't duplicated.
public class UserViewModel { public string Name { get; set; } public IList<string> Offices { get; private set; } public UserViewModel() { Offices = new List<string> { "Auckland", "Wellington", "Christchurch" }; } }
string json = @"{ 'Name': 'James', 'Offices': [ 'Auckland', 'Wellington', 'Christchurch' ] }"; UserViewModel model1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserViewModel>(json); foreach (string office in model1.Offices) { Console.WriteLine(office); } // Auckland // Wellington // Christchurch // Auckland // Wellington // Christchurch UserViewModel model2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserViewModel>(json, new JsonSerializerSettings { ObjectCreationHandling = ObjectCreationHandling.Replace }); foreach (string office in model2.Offices) { Console.WriteLine(office); } // Auckland // Wellington // Christchurch
