Using JSON with C#

[bgowland]

I've been doing some searches and have a few angles on some libraries I can try but just thought I'd ask here to see if any of the community techs have experience of this.

I want to use JSON to serialize/deserialize some simple objects between my nDroid client (native Android app written in Java) and nDroidService (PC-based service written in C#).

Just interested if anyone with any experience of Java <-> C# comms using JSON has any pointers.

Cheers,
Brian

JSON.NET http://json.codeplex.com/releases/view/64935

They have downloads for pretty much every .Net version. I used the version 2.0 for my original Netflix plugin.

I can't help on the Java side, sorry.

Thanks for the response, JSON.NET is one I had discovered but was put off by the v4.0 (current version) and my service is built for .NET v2.0. I hadn't spotted the previous releases are available - I'll download the v2.0 version and give it a try.

No problem. I'm just curious as to whether or not I can push an object (serialize/deserialize) in both directions and have each end play nice. I'm totally new to JSON but the theory says I can.

Yeah, that library will allow you to go both directions (I never needed the output though).
