Using "_xpath" on table with one row does not create an JSON array

[FrederickBrier]

The _xpath feature seems to behave differently if there is only one result from the _xpath. It will generate:

"rows": { "col1": "val1", "col2": "val2" }

Instead of:

"rows": [{ "col1": "val1", "col2": "val2" }]

This makes it difficult to iterate over the array of rows, as you end up iterating over the columns. Thoughts? Is there a way to force it to be an array regardless of there being a single row? Thank you.

This is the first day i use this library but i don't think there is a nice way to solve our problem. (#25 (comment))
I came up with this simple fix (just wrap the JObject with a JArray ):

// ... 
JContainer scrapingResults = openScraping.Extract(html);
if (scrapingResults["row"].GetType() == typeof(JObject))
{
    JArray container = new JArray
    {
        scrapingResults["row"]
    };
    scrapingResults["row"] = container;
}
Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(scrapingResults, Formatting.Indented));

Did you try to use _forceArray option?

Something like this:

"title":
{
    "_xpath": "//h1",
    "_forceArray": true
}

Thank You! It works like a charm. 😄
