Wooou! Realmente melhor usando uma estrutura JSON :)
Aqui está o meu exemplo usando o Json.NET ( http://james.newtonking.com/json ):
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.IO;
namespace com.blogspot.jeanjmichel.jsontest.model
{
public class Contact
{
private Int64 id;
private String name;
List<Address> addresses;
public Int64 Id
{
set { this.id = value; }
get { return this.id; }
}
public String Name
{
set { this.name = value; }
get { return this.name; }
}
public List<Address> Addresses
{
set { this.addresses = value; }
get { return this.addresses; }
}
public String ToJSONRepresentation()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
JsonWriter jw = new JsonTextWriter(new StringWriter(sb));
jw.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
jw.WriteStartObject();
jw.WritePropertyName("id");
jw.WriteValue(this.Id);
jw.WritePropertyName("name");
jw.WriteValue(this.Name);
jw.WritePropertyName("addresses");
jw.WriteStartArray();
int i;
i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < addresses.Count; i++)
{
jw.WriteStartObject();
jw.WritePropertyName("id");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].Id);
jw.WritePropertyName("streetAddress");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].StreetAddress);
jw.WritePropertyName("complement");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].Complement);
jw.WritePropertyName("city");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].City);
jw.WritePropertyName("province");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].Province);
jw.WritePropertyName("country");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].Country);
jw.WritePropertyName("postalCode");
jw.WriteValue(addresses[i].PostalCode);
jw.WriteEndObject();
}
jw.WriteEndArray();
jw.WriteEndObject();
return sb.ToString();
}
public Contact()
{
}
public Contact(Int64 id, String personName, List<Address> addresses)
{
this.id = id;
this.name = personName;
this.addresses = addresses;
}
public Contact(String JSONRepresentation)
{
//To do
}
}
}
O teste:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using com.blogspot.jeanjmichel.jsontest.model;
namespace com.blogspot.jeanjmichel.jsontest.main
{
public class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Address> addresses = new List<Address>();
addresses.Add(new Address(1, "Rua Dr. Fernandes Coelho, 85", "15º andar", "São Paulo", "São Paulo", "Brazil", "05423040"));
addresses.Add(new Address(2, "Avenida Senador Teotônio Vilela, 241", null, "São Paulo", "São Paulo", "Brazil", null));
Contact contact = new Contact(1, "Ayrton Senna", addresses);
Console.WriteLine(contact.ToJSONRepresentation());
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
O resultado:
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Ayrton Senna",
"addresses": [
{
"id": 1,
"streetAddress": "Rua Dr. Fernandes Coelho, 85",
"complement": "15º andar",
"city": "São Paulo",
"province": "São Paulo",
"country": "Brazil",
"postalCode": "05423040"
},
{
"id": 2,
"streetAddress": "Avenida Senador Teotônio Vilela, 241",
"complement": null,
"city": "São Paulo",
"province": "São Paulo",
"country": "Brazil",
"postalCode": null
}
]
}
Agora vou implementar o método construtor que recebe uma string JSON e preenche os campos da classe.
