How to convert JSON to XML or XML to JSON?

Question

I started to use Json.NET to convert a string in JSON format to object or viceversa. I am not sure in the Json.NET framework, is it possible to convert a string in JSON to X

Answer 1

I have used the below methods to convert the JSON to XML

List <Item> items;
public void LoadJsonAndReadToXML() {
  using(StreamReader r = new StreamReader(@ "E:\Json\overiddenhotelranks.json")) {
    string json = r.ReadToEnd();
    items = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject <List<Item>> (json);
    ReadToXML();
  }
}

And

public void ReadToXML() {
  try {
    var xEle = new XElement("Items",
      from item in items select new XElement("Item",
        new XElement("mhid", item.mhid),
        new XElement("hotelName", item.hotelName),
        new XElement("destination", item.destination),
        new XElement("destinationID", item.destinationID),
        new XElement("rank", item.rank),
        new XElement("toDisplayOnFod", item.toDisplayOnFod),
        new XElement("comment", item.comment),
        new XElement("Destinationcode", item.Destinationcode),
        new XElement("LoadDate", item.LoadDate)
      ));

    xEle.Save("E:\\employees.xml");
    Console.WriteLine("Converted to XML");
  } catch (Exception ex) {
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
  }
  Console.ReadLine();
}

I have used the class named Item to represent the elements

public class Item {
  public int mhid { get; set; }
  public string hotelName { get; set; }
  public string destination { get; set; }
  public int destinationID { get; set; }
  public int rank { get; set; }
  public int toDisplayOnFod { get; set; }
  public string comment { get; set; }
  public string Destinationcode { get; set; }
  public string LoadDate { get; set; }
}

It works....
