I have below Dynamic nested JSON in which a node can contain multiple child nodes. Each node can have any number of sibilings. Also a Node can have child up to any number of level of depth.
Now i have task of adding a new node either as sibiling before, after or as child to a particular node. based on matching text. for example I pass a SearchText= "How are you doing?". so logic should work like this.
- first it will find node Say 'MatchedNode' which has text matching with SearchText.
- If Selected Option is 'Before' It will create a new blank node and add it to before 'MatchedNode'
- If Selected Option is 'After' It will create a new blank node and add it to After 'MatchedNode'
- If Selected Option is 'Child' It will create a new blank node and add it as child node to 'MatchedNode'
I am using recursion to iterate through nested JSON.
private void NewSaveDraft()
{
InMemoryFileData = File.ReadAllText(filelocation);
dynamic data = JObject.Parse(InMemoryFileData);
for (int sectionIndex = 0; sectionIndex < data.Sections.Count; sectionIndex++)
{
if (data.Sections[sectionIndex].Name == JSONTreeView.SelectedNode.Tag)
{
SaveDraftData(data.Sections[sectionIndex]);
return;
}
else
{
foreach (var node in data.Sections[sectionIndex].Nodes)
findSelectedNode(node);
}
}
}
private void findSelectedNode(dynamic node)
{
if (node.Tag == JSONTreeView.SelectedNode.Tag)
{
SaveDraftData(node);
return;
}
else
foreach (var n in node.Nodes)
findSelectedNode(n);
}
private void SaveDraftData(dynamic node)
{
ChangeNodeDataForSelectedNode(node);
}
private void ChangeNodeDataForSelectedNode(dynamic obj)
{
if (SelectedContextMenuOption.Equals("C"))
obj.Nodes.Add(new Node());
}
here definition of a node is below
