c# - Handling CData in converting Xml to Json using Newtonsoft -

i'm trying convert xml json , run business logic , deserialize c# object using newtonsoft json.net. xml has cdata values. how can deserialize json such value inside cdata mapped c# field.

edit: xml may/maynot contain cdata

e.g. xml:

with cdata

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root> <text><![cdata[sample text]]></text> </root>

with plain text

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root> <text>sample text></text> </root>

json:

with cdata:

{"text":{"#cdata-section":"sample text"}}

with plain text:

{"text":"sample text"}

code:

class data {         [jsonproperty("text")]         public string text { get; set; } }  public static data convertjsontoobject(string json) {     return jsonconvert.deserializeobject<data>(json); } 

thank advance.

xsd xml sample. defined cdata simple type extending string , complex type text node containing cdata.

<xs:element name="root" type="cdata_text" />  <xs:simpletype name="cdata">   <xs:restriction base="xs:string"/> </xs:simpletype> <xs:complextype name="cdata_text">   <xs:sequence>     <xs:element name="text" type="cdata" />   </xs:sequence> </xs:complextype> 

generated cs file xsd:

namespace q38072488.xml {   using system;   using system.xml.serialization;    [serializable()]   [xmlroot("root", namespace = "", isnullable = false)]   public partial class cdata_text   {     [xmlelement("text")]     public string text { get; set; }   } } 

json classes:

namespace q38072488.json {   using newtonsoft.json;    public class cdatatext   {       [jsonproperty("#cdata-section")]       public string cdata_section { get; set; }   }    public class rootobject   {       [jsonproperty("text")]       public cdatatext text { get; set; }   } }  

deserialize xml , convert json (you add implicit conversion):

using (var fs = file.openread("cdata.xml") ) {   var srlz = new xmlserializer(typeof(xml.cdata_text));   var xmlcdatatext = (xml.cdata_text)srlz.deserialize(fs);   var ro = new json.rootobject() {      text = new json.cdatatext() {       cdata_section = xmlcdatatext.text } };   string json = jsonconvert.serializeobject(ro); }
