I am having an issue with JSON deserialization and updating the values.
I have an application that reads a json file and deserializes the data to be sent to a website.
This part works exactly as i expect it to.
The problem is the web site can update the data and send it back to the application. I can see the data come into the application but the problem is if i only update a portion of the file and send back just the edits it erases everything in the JSON Root except for the new data. I want to be able to read, update, and then resave the data to a text file.
Any suggestions on what i could look into.
An object-oriented and type-safe programming language that has its roots in the C family of languages and includes support for component-oriented programming.
You should send back the entire file since only sending edits messed up the json unless there is an API available for just sending edits.
@Chris M , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, I think karen's idea is correct. Therefore, Could you provide some code about updating the json file?
I went with Karens idea for most of the updates. I ended up having to write some custom JSON strings for any information that i did not need in the main file. So now when a user uses the Web UI and request network info i can send and or receive just that data from the server.
