Json.NET supports converting JSON to XML and vice versa using the XmlNodeConverter. Elements, attributes, text, comments, character data, processing instructions, namespaces, and the XML declaration are all preserved when converting between the two. In this article we are going to see how to serialize and deserialize an object as XML data. Learn Reactjs Step By Step In 15 Days. Why Join Become a member Login.

  1. What is Serialization? Serialization is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes. In this article, I will show you how to serialize object to XML in C#. XML serialization converts the public fields and properties of an object into an XML stream. Open Visual Studio. Go to File-New-Project, Choose Console Application.
  2. Oct 24, 2012  Serialization is a process by which an object's state is transformed in some serial data format, such as XML or binary format. Deserialization, on the other hand, is used to convert the byte of data, such as XML or binary data, to object type.
  3. Jun 13, 2016  To convert an object to XML, we’ll make use of  XmlSerializer to serialize and  XmlTextWriter to output the XML string. Here is how the code looks like: XML to Object C# Similarly, to convert an XML string to object we make use of the  XmlSerializer to deserialize and  XmlTextReader to read the XML string.

I have a C# class that I have inherited. I have successfully 'built' the object. But I need to serialize the object to XML. Is there an easy way to do it?

It looks like the class has been set up for serialization, but I'm not sure how to get the XML representation. My class definition looks like this:

Here is what I thought I could do, but it doesn't work:

How do I get the XML representation of this object?

C# serialize xml to object

You have to use XmlSerializer for XML serialization. Below is a sample snippet.

I modified mine to return a string rather than use a ref variable like below.

The Infinity of Brahman2. Brahman as the Heart4. In Praise of Satya Brahman6. The Three Great Disciplines3. Brihadaranyaka upanishad pdf. Meditation on Satya Brahman5.

Its usage would be like this:

The following function can be copied to any object to add an XML save function using the System.Xml namespace.

To create the object from the saved file, add the following function and replace [ObjectType] with the object type to be created.

Extension class:

Usage:

C# Deserialize Xml To Object

Just reference the namespace holding your extension method in the file you would like to use it in and it'll work (in my example it would be: using MyProj.Extensions;)

Note that if you want to make the extension method specific to only a particular class(eg., Foo), you can replace the T argument in the extension method, eg.

public static string Serialize(this Foo value){..}

You can use the function like below to get serialized XML from any object.

You can call this from the client.

To serialize an object, do:

Also remember that for XmlSerializer to work, you need a parameterless constructor.

I will start with the copy answer of Ben Gripka:

I used this code earlier. But reality showed that this solution is a bit problematic. Usually most of programmers just serialize setting on save and deserialize settings on load. This is an optimistic scenario. Once the serialization failed, because of some reason, the file is partly written, XML file is not complete and it is invalid. In consequence XML deserialization does not work and your application may crash on start. If the file is not huge, I suggest first serialize object to MemoryStream then write the stream to the File. This case is especially important if there is some complicated custom serialization. You can never test all cases.

The deserialization in real world scenario should count with corrupted serialization file, it happens sometime. Load function provided by Ben Gripka is fine.

And it could be wrapped by some recovery scenario. It is suitable for settings files or other files which can be deleted in case of problems.

It's a little bit more complicated than calling the ToString method of the class, but not much.

Here's a simple drop-in function you can use to serialize any type of object. It returns a string containing the serialized XML contents:

All upvoted answers above are correct. This is just simplest version:

You should basically use System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer class to do this.

Serialize Xml String To Object Vb.net

I have a simple way to serialize an object to XML using C#, it works great and it's highly reusable. I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to post this because someone may find this helpful to them.

Here is how I call the method:

Here is the class that does the work:

Note: Since these are extension methods they need to be in a static class.
