How to Deserialize XML document

How do I Deserialize this XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Cars>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1020</StockNumber>
    <Make>Nissan</Make>
    <Model>Sentra</Model>
  </Car>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1010</StockNumber>
    <Make>Toyota</Make>
    <Model>Corolla</Model>
  </Car>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1111</StockNumber>
    <Make>Honda</Make>
    <Model>Accord</Model>
  </Car>
</Cars>

I have this:

[Serializable()]
public class Car
{
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("StockNumber")]
    public string StockNumber{ get; set; }

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Make")]
    public string Make{ get; set; }

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Model")]
    public string Model{ get; set; }
}

.

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("Cars", Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public class Cars
{
    [XmlArrayItem(typeof(Car))]
    public Car[] Car { get; set; }

}

.

public class CarSerializer
{
    public Cars Deserialize()
    {
        Cars[] cars = null;
        string path = HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/") + "cars.xml";

        XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Cars[]));

        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path);
        reader.ReadToEnd();
        cars = (Cars[])serializer.Deserialize(reader);
        reader.Close();

        return cars;
    }
}

that don't seem to work :-(


Here's a working version. I changed the XmlElementAttribute labels to XmlElement because in the xml the StockNumber, Make and Model values are elements, not attributes. Also I removed the reader.ReadToEnd(); (that function reads the whole stream and returns a string, so the Deserialze() function couldn't use the reader anymore...the position was at the end of the stream). I also took a few liberties with the naming :).

Here are the classes:

[Serializable()]
public class Car
{
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement("StockNumber")]
    public string StockNumber { get; set; }

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement("Make")]
    public string Make { get; set; }

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement("Model")]
    public string Model { get; set; }
}


[Serializable()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRoot("CarCollection")]
public class CarCollection
{
    [XmlArray("Cars")]
    [XmlArrayItem("Car", typeof(Car))]
    public Car[] Car { get; set; }
}

The Deserialize function:

CarCollection cars = null;
string path = "cars.xml";

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CarCollection));

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path);
cars = (CarCollection)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
reader.Close();

And the slightly tweaked xml (I needed to add a new element to wrap <Cars>...Net is picky about deserializing arrays):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CarCollection>
<Cars>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1020</StockNumber>
    <Make>Nissan</Make>
    <Model>Sentra</Model>
  </Car>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1010</StockNumber>
    <Make>Toyota</Make>
    <Model>Corolla</Model>
  </Car>
  <Car>
    <StockNumber>1111</StockNumber>
    <Make>Honda</Make>
    <Model>Accord</Model>
  </Car>
</Cars>
</CarCollection>

How about you just save the xml to a file, and use xsd?

  • Write the file to disk (I named it foo.xml)
  • Generate the xsd: xsd foo.xml
  • Generate the C#: xsd foo.xsd /classes
  • Et voila - and C# code file that should be able to read the data via XmlSerializer :

        XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Cars));
        Cars cars;
        using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(path))
        {
            cars = (Cars) ser.Deserialize(reader);
        }
    

    (include the generated foo.cs in the project)


    You have two possibilities.

    Method 1. XSD tool


    Suppose that you have your XML file in this location C:pathtoxmlfile.xml

  • Open Developer Command Prompt
    You can find it in Start Menu > Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 > Visual Studio Tools Or if you have Windows 8 can just start typing Developer Command Prompt in Start screen
  • Change location to your XML file directory by typing cd /D "C:pathtoxml"
  • Create XSD file from your xml file by typing xsd file.xml
  • Create C# classes by typing xsd /c file.xsd
  • And that's it! You have generated C# classes from xml file in C:pathtoxmlfile.cs

    Method 2 - Paste special


    Required Visual Studio 2012+

  • Copy content of your XML file to clipboard
  • Add to your solution new, empty class file (Shift+Alt+C)
  • Open that file and in menu click Edit > Paste special > Paste XML As Classes
    在这里输入图像描述
  • And that's it!

    Usage


    Usage is very simple with this helper class:

    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Web.Script.Serialization; // Add reference: System.Web.Extensions
    using System.Xml;
    using System.Xml.Serialization;
    
    namespace Helpers
    {
        internal static class ParseHelpers
        {
            private static JavaScriptSerializer json;
            private static JavaScriptSerializer JSON { get { return json ?? (json = new JavaScriptSerializer()); } }
    
            public static Stream ToStream(this string @this)
            {
                var stream = new MemoryStream();
                var writer = new StreamWriter(stream);
                writer.Write(@this);
                writer.Flush();
                stream.Position = 0;
                return stream;
            }
    
    
            public static T ParseXML<T>(this string @this) where T : class
            {
                var reader = XmlReader.Create(@this.Trim().ToStream(), new XmlReaderSettings() { ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Document });
                return new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)).Deserialize(reader) as T;
            }
    
            public static T ParseJSON<T>(this string @this) where T : class
            {
                return JSON.Deserialize<T>(@this.Trim());
            }
        }
    }
    

    All you have to do now, is:

        public class JSONRoot
        {
            public catalog catalog { get; set; }
        }
        // ...
    
        string xml = File.ReadAllText(@"D:file.xml");
        var catalog1 = xml.ParseXML<catalog>();
    
        string json = File.ReadAllText(@"D:file.json");
        var catalog2 = json.ParseJSON<JSONRoot>();
