Creating a JSON array in C

Question

Ok  so I am trying to send POST commands over an http connection  and using JSON formatting to do so   I am writing the program to do this in C   and was wondering how I would format an array of values to be passed as JSON to the server     Currently I have this   new  name    command    index    X   optional    0    Which translates to this in JSON    name    command    index    X    optional    0    And I want to make an array  called items  where each element contains these three values   So it would essentially be an array of objects  in which the object contains a name  an index  and an optional field   My guess was that it would be something along the lines of this   new  items     name    command    index    X   optional    0                    name    status    index    X   optional    0       Which  if it were correct syntax  would translate to this in JSON    items                     name    command            index    X            optional    0                        name    status            index    X            optional    0            But  evidently I m doing it wrong   Ideas   Any help is appreciated

You re close  This should do the trick   new  items   new          new  name    command    index    X   optional    0         new  name    command    index    X   optional    0        If your source was an enumerable of some sort  you might want to do this   new  items   source Select item   gt  new        name   item Name  index   item Index  options   item Optional

You d better create some class for each item instead of using anonymous objects  And in object you re serializing you should have array of those items  E g    public class Item       public string name   get  set        public string index   get  set        public string optional   get  set       public class RootObject       public List lt Item gt  items   get  set        Usage   var objectToSerialize   new RootObject    objectToSerialize items   new List lt Item gt                                                            new Item   name    test1   index    index1                                  new Item   name    test2   index    index2                                   And in the result you won t have to change things several times if you need to change data-structure   p s  Here s very nice tool for complex jsons

Also   with Anonymous types   I prefer not to do this  -- this is just another approach   void Main         var x   new               items   new                         new                               name    command   index    X   optional    0                             new                               name    command   index    X   optional    0                                     JavaScriptSerializer js   new JavaScriptSerializer      system web extension assembly         Console WriteLine js Serialize x        result      items     name   command   index   X   optional   0     name   command   index   X   optional   0
