I have a JObject that I am trying to add fields to in a way like this:
JObject dataObject = new JObject();
dataObject[currentSection][key] = val;
currentSection, key and val are all strings, I want it so when its all serialized at the end that it looks something like this:
{
"currentSection": {
"key": "value"
}
}
How would I go about doing this?
You can use JObject.Add() method to add a property to JObject.
Create a JObject for the nested object.
Add property to the nested object.
Add property with nested object to root JObject.
JObject dataObject = new JObject();
JObject nestedObj = new JObject();
nestedObj.Add(key, val);
dataObject.Add(currentSection, nestedObj);
You have one nested json object inside of the another one. So you have to create a nested currentSection json object before assigning a key to currrentSection
string currentSection = "currentSection";
string key = "key";
string val = "val";
JObject dataObject = new JObject();
dataObject[currentSection] = new JObject();
dataObject[currentSection][key] = val;
or you can do the same in one line
var dataObject = new JObject { [currentSection] = new JObject { [key] = val } };
json
var json = dataObject.ToString();
{
"currentSection": {
"key": "val"
}
}
