I've got a legacy web service which I'd like to wrap with a new MVC Web API, question is can I get the ASP.NET Web API to convert my xml into json?
A thought that I had was to use XDocument to create a dynamic object and return that, but when I tried it with an ExpandoObject unfortunately it returned a json object with Key/Value pairs.
Turns out this can be done by converting an XDocument to a dynamic JsonObject like so roughly:
var doc = XDocument.Load(uri);
foreach (var node in doc.Root.Descendants()) {
var obj = (dynamic) new JsonObject();
foreach (var child in node.Descendants())
{
obj[child.Name.LocalName] = child.Value;
yield return obj;
}
}
