Converting Text Analytics for Health response to JSON String

Question

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a library available to convert the response from Text Analytics for Health on Azure into a JSON String?

I wish this feature was directly available in the TA4H API but it is not there and I am struggling to convert it to a JSON String.
The ultimate goal, by the way, is to use the JSON String to populate a ListView on my Android App.

Answer 1

I use the JSON convert lib from Newtonsoft. There are both a DeserializeObject and SerializeObject methods that will create classes from a string and create a string from classes. Free, fast and easy to use.

Answer 2

Either Newtonsoft or the new System.Text.Json should be able to parse Json no matter how nested.

What you need to do is create classes which match the structure and hierarchy.

For example:

class Role  
{  
    string Name { get; set; }  
}  

class Employee  
{  
    string EmployeeName { get; set; }  
    Role Role { get; set; }  
}  

var json= JsonSerializer.Serialize<Employee>(employee);  

should create something like

{  
    "Employee" :   
        {  
            "EmployeeName": "Bob",  
            "Role" : {  
                             "Name": "Sales"  
                         }  
         }  
}
