Pass a JSON string as a command line argument

Question

I am trying to pass a json string to a C#-Program using Commandline.

The JSON-String looks like this:

{
    \"config\": {
        \"script\": {
             


        

Answer 1

Following on from @Selcuk Gurals post, here is a more complete answer:

args[1].Replace("{", "{\"").Replace(":", "\":\"").Replace(",", "\",\"").Replace("}", "\"}").Replace(":\"[", ":[").Replace(":\"{", ":{").Replace("https\":\"", "https:").Replace("http\":\"", "http:").Replace("\":\"9", ":9").Replace("}\",", "},").Replace("]\",", "],").Replace("}\"}", "}}");

This caters for things like embedded http/https and ports. My port number was in the 9000 region... So a regex solution would be better. But it improves on the former answer The value part of a JSON key/value pair can also be:

1. another JSON object
2. a list

"key": {}, ....
"key":[], ....
