How to convert XML to JSON in C# .NET Framework

Parsing XML is definitely on the painful list when it comes to tasks in C#. Instead of spending all afternoon working on that, how about we implement a nice simple solution that can take care of it for you and convert it into nice simple JSON format. Give me but five minutes of your time and I will have you up and running.

First we will need to use NuGet to grab our package:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

Now we go ahead and call this function here:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class ConvertDataXmlToJsonExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new ConvertDataApi();
var inputFile = new System.IO.Stream(); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
try
{
// Convert XML to JSON conversion
Object result = apiInstance.ConvertDataXmlToJson(inputFile);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDataApi.ConvertDataXmlToJson: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And you are already done. Easy!
