.NET-JSON-Transformer
A Visual Basic .NET implementation that converts JSON Strings into a .NET XDocument
To use the file simply add it to your project and call the JSON.Parse method.
##Syntax
Public Function Parse(ByVal source As String) As XDocument
Parameters
-
source
- Type: System.String
- The JSON literal to be converted.
-
Return Value
- Type: System.Xml.Linq.XDocument
- An XML representation of the JSON literal. If the JSON is not parsable, then the method returns Nothing.
##Remarks
-
The parser ignores whitespace. So if the JSON literal is:
json { "string key": [1, 2, { "nested": true }] }Then it gets parsed as:{"string key":[1,2,{"nested":true}]} -
The returned XML is a 1-to-1 translation from the JSON. Using the same example as above, the resulting XML would be: ``` xml
##Examples: The following example demonstrates the Parse method.

Public Module Module1
Public Sub main()
Dim jsonLiteral As String = String.Format("{0}{1}key1{1}: [1, -2.12345E6, [true, false]], {1}key2{1}: {0}{1}nested object{1}: null{2}{2}", "{", """", "}")
Console.WriteLine(jsonLiteral)
'{"key1": [1, -2.12345E6, [true, false]], "key2": {"nested object": null}}
Dim jsonDocument As XDocument = JSON.Parse(jsonLiteral)
Console.WriteLine(jsonDocument.ToString)
'<object>

' <number>1</number>
