Dot in JSON property problem

[markoOmega]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with reading Json response that has dot in it's property name.

I tried this

    [JsonProperty("ckan.locale_default")]
    [DeserializeAs(Name = "ckan.locale_default")]
    [SerializeAs(Name = "ckan.locale_default")]
    public string CkanLocaleDefault { get; set; }

but with no effect.

Is there any parser that forgot to add dot or something...

Tnx,
Marko

Marko, the json serialization library that rest sharp uses doesn't work well with dots in the name. you can try using a custom de/serializer using JSON.NET but as of right now we don't have support for that. If you need help using JSON.NET let me know and I'll get you a code sample.

Plus one for this feature!
If I were to fix this where would I do that?

+1. Having trouble reading the response from TFS/VSTS rest response.

+1. I built a whole project on your solution and then found out that the source had a different format for stats that include periods in the names. Example below. Very frustrating as now I'm going to have to rebuild the project some other way.
public StatusAvailabilityState statusavailabilityState { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "status.enabledState")]
public StatusEnabledState statusenabledState { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "status.statusReason")]
public StatusStatusReason statusstatusReason { get; set; }
public SyncookieStatus syncookieStatus { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.accepts")]
public SyncookieAccepts syncookieaccepts { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.hwAccepts")]
public SyncookieHwAccepts syncookiehwAccepts { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.hwSyncookies")]
public SyncookieHwSyncookies syncookiehwSyncookies { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.hwsyncookieInstance")]
public SyncookieHwsyncookieInstance syncookiehwsyncookieInstance { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.rejects")]
public SyncookieRejects syncookierejects { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.swsyncookieInstance")]
public SyncookieSwsyncookieInstance syncookieswsyncookieInstance { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.syncacheCurr")]
public SyncookieSyncacheCurr syncookiesyncacheCurr { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.syncacheOver")]
public SyncookieSyncacheOver syncookiesyncacheOver { get; set; }
[DeserializeAs(Name = "syncookie.syncookies")]

Did any of one else find a easy solution to this issue?

I have a quick and dirty solution to this problem. Not real elegant, but works.

IRestResponse response = establishConnection(resource);
string s = response.Content;
s = s.Replace("clientside.bitsIn", "clientsidebitsIn");
s = s.Replace("clientside.bitsOut", "clientsidebitsOut");
s = s.Replace("clientside.curConns", "clientsidecurConns");
s = s.Replace("clientside.evictedConns", "clientsideevictedConns");
s = s.Replace("clientside.maxConns", "clientsidemaxConns");
response.Content = s;

This modifies the json data before its deserialized. Hope this helps others.

You could try using the Newtonsoft.JSON nuget package as the JSON parser, via the RestSharp.Newtonsoft.JSON library, see RestSharp.Newtonsoft.JSON

When is this PR #950 getting merged into the master? Then finally "." can be deserialised.

[alexeyzimarev]

Currently the work is being done to move to netstandard. It also requires a lot of changes in the deserialisation bit because of reflections. Before this is done, we will not merge stuff. As mentioned above, you can use the NewtonsoftJson adapter.

[ArmindoMaurits]

@alexeyzimarev thank you for the quick reply. It's good to hear that you guys are on your way to the netstandard. (Too bad I have some bad compatibility issues in a .net 3.5 legacy project with other packages, so I cannot use the Newtonsoft.json adapter).

[alexeyzimarev]

@ArmindoMaurits unfortunately, 3.5 support has been removed in favour of netstandard support.

[alexeyzimarev]

Should be fixed by #950
