You can convert YAML to JSON using YamlDotNet in C# by following these steps:
Install YamlDotNet package in your project. You can do this using the NuGet package manager.
Import the YamlDotNet library in your C# code by adding the following line at the top of your file:
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
Define your YAML data as a string.
Create an instance of the Deserializer class from the YamlDotNet library:
var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder().Build();
Deserialize your YAML data using the deserializer:
var yamlObject = deserializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(yamlString));
Create an instance of the JsonSerializer class from the Newtonsoft.Json library:
var jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer();
Serialize your deserialized object to JSON using the JsonSerializer:
var jsonTextWriter = new StringWriter();
jsonSerializer.Serialize(jsonTextWriter, yamlObject);
var jsonString = jsonTextWriter.ToString();
Your YAML data has now been converted to JSON and stored in the jsonString variable.
Here's the complete code:
using System;
using System.IO;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var yamlString = @"
name: John
age: 30
hobbies:
- photography
- hiking
";
var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder().Build();
var yamlObject = deserializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(yamlString));
var jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer();
var jsonTextWriter = new StringWriter();
jsonSerializer.Serialize(jsonTextWriter, yamlObject);
var jsonString = jsonTextWriter.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(jsonString);
}
}
