JSON formatter in C

0 votes

I am looking for a function that will enable a string of Json as an input and format it with the line breaks and indentations. Also, the validation would be a bonus, but it however,  isn't necessary and there is no need for it to be  parsed into an object or so. Does anyone have any idea of such a library and how can one get access to it? 

Sample input:

​​{"status":"OK", "results":[ {"types":[ "locality", "political"], "formatted_address":"New York, NY, USA", "address_components":[ {"long_name":"New York", "short_name":"New York", "types":[ "locality", "political"]}, {"long_name":"New York", "short_name":"New York", "types":[ "administrative_area_level_2", "political"]}, {"long_name":"New York", "short_name":"NY", "types":[ "administrative_area_level_1", "political"]}, {"long_name":"United States", "short_name":"US", "types":[ "country", "political"]}], "geometry":{"location":{"lat":40.7143528, "lng":-74.0059731}, "location_type":"APPROXIMATE", "viewport":{"southwest":{"lat":40.5788964, "lng":-74.2620919}, "northeast":{"lat":40.8495342, "lng":-73.7498543}}, "bounds":{"southwest":{"lat":40.4773990, "lng":-74.2590900}, "northeast":{"lat":40.9175770, "lng":-73.7002720}}}}]}

 In order to do the needful, one could use the Newtonsoft.Json library and call SerializeObject with the Formatting.Indented enum by using the given line -
 

var x = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonString, Formatting.Indented);


Update -

I just tried to use this again and even though it used to work, the updated versions must have made a subsequent change to this and it is not working quite as expected. After testing this in Linqpad and SO, these do work and have shared the code below:-
 

void Main() 
{ 
      //Example 1 
    var t = "{\"x\":57,\"y\":57.0,\"z\":\"Yes\"}"; 
    var obj = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(t); 
    var f = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented); Console.WriteLine(f);
//Example 2 JToken jt = 
JToken.Parse(t); string formatted = jt.To
String(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented); 
Console.WriteLine(formatted); 

//Example 2 in one line - Console.WriteLine(JToken.Parse(t).ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented)); 
}
