JObject nested property

Question

{
    \"input\": {
        \"webpage/url\": \"http://google.com/\"
    }
}

I can add

Answer 1

Probably the most straightforward way would be:

var input = new JObject();

input.Add("webpage/url", "http://google.com");

var obj = new JObject();

obj.Add("input", input);

Which gives you:

{
  "input": {
    "webpage/url": "http://google.com"
  }
}

Another way would be:

var input = new JObject
{
    { "webpage/url", "http://google.com" }
};

var obj = new JObject
{
    { "input", input }
};

... Or if you wanted it all in one statement:

var obj = new JObject
{
    {
        "input",
        new JObject
        {
            { "webpage/url", "http://google.com" }
        }
    }
};

Answer 2

Just carry on as you are, and nest them in another level:

JObject job = new JObject(
                new JProperty("website/url", "http://www.google.com") );

JObject parent = new JObject(new JProperty("input", job));

parent.ToString() now gives:

{ "input": { "website/url": "http://www.google.com" } }
