Some strong typed classes:
public class A
{
public C Process(B b)
{
return new C()
{
Output = b.Property + " bar!"
};
}
}
public class B
{
public string Property {get;set;}
}
public class C
{
public string Output {get;set;}
}
Input as JSON string:
string input = "{\"Property\":\"foo\"}";
And what I want is if I have instance of A as object, I want to invoke this JSON and retrieve object output:
object instanceOfA = new A();
object result = instanceOfA.GetType().GetMethod("Process").Invoke(instanceOfA, new []{ /*json here?*/});
So, it is basically similar to some JavaScript call on some plain argument.
What about changing the method signature for the 'Process' method to take a string as input instead and attempting to de-serialize the input to the type you want? So something like this:
string input = "{\"Property\":\"foo\"}";
object instanceOfA = new A();
object result = instanceOfA.GetType().GetMethod("Process").Invoke(instanceOfA, new object[]{ input });
public class A
{
public C Process(string input)
{
var b = (B) JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(input, typeof(B));
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(b.Property))
{
return new C()
{
Output = b.Property + " bar!"
};
}
return null;
}
}
public class B
{
public string Property { get; set; }
}
public class C
{
public string Output { get; set; }
}
Problem was simply solved with Newtonsoft.Json features:
public class JsonInvoker
{
private readonly MethodInfo _methodInfo;
private readonly Type _paramType;
private readonly JsonSerializerSettings _settings;
public JsonInvoker(Type instanceType, string methodName)
{
_methodInfo = instanceType.GetMethod(methodName);
_paramType = _methodInfo.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType;
_settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ContractResolver = new RequireObjectPropertiesContractResolver(),
MissingMemberHandling = MissingMemberHandling.Error
};
}
public object Invoke(object instance, string json)
{
var input = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, _paramType, _settings);
var output = _methodInfo.Invoke(instance, new[] { input });
return output;
}
private class RequireObjectPropertiesContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
protected override JsonObjectContract CreateObjectContract(Type objectType)
{
var contract = base.CreateObjectContract(objectType);
contract.ItemRequired = Required.AllowNull;
return contract;
}
}
}
Now I can invoke my method:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
object plugin = new A();
string json = "{\"Property\":\"foo\"}";
var invoker = new JsonInvoker(plugin.GetType(), "Process");
//here I call invoker with simple string.
var output = invoker.Invoke(plugin, json);
}
}
public class A
{
public C Process(B input)
{
return new C
{
Property = input.Property + " bar"
};
}
}
public class C
{
public string Property { get; set; }
}
public class B
{
public string Property { get; set; }
}

As Charlieface commented, you should remove contraint on MyRequest.
From your code, I could not get your design enough. So, I just show some code under suppose.
public class MyClass<T> where T : MsgConstraint

private IList<T> middlewares = new List<T>();
public void Register(T m)
{
middlewares.Add(m);

public string Msg { set; get; }

public string Msg { get; set; } = "RPCMSG";

I'm trying to use Microsoft Bond to serialize nested objects. But Bond throws internal errors (such KeyNotFoundException).
My classes:
interface IFoo
{
}
[Bond.Schema]
class Foo1 : IFoo
{
[Bond.Id(0)]
public string Foo1Field { get; set; }
}
[Bond.Schema]
class Bar
{
[Bond.Id(0)]
public IFoo SomeFooInstance { get; set; }
}
Then I create an instance and serialize:
var src = new Bar() { SomeFooInstance = new Foo1() { Foo1Field = "Str" }};
var output = new OutputBuffer();
var writer = new CompactBinaryWriter<OutputBuffer>(output);
Serialize.To(writer, src);
var input = new InputBuffer(output.Data);
var reader = new CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>(input);
var dst = Deserialize<Bar>.From(reader);
But I'm getting exceptions (such KeyNotFoundException) at Serialize.To(writer, src);.
I also tried to add [Bond.Schema] to IFoo, but then the Deserialize<Bar>.From(reader); fails...
How can I serialize Bar class that contains some Foo class with Bond without getting exceptions like that?
If you want to use interfaces with behavioral differences (and not structural differences), the trick is to provide the deserializer with a factory so that it knows how to create a concrete instance of IFoo when it needs to. Notice that the implementations do not have the the [Bond.Schema] attribute, as they both implement the IFoo schema.
namespace NS
{
using System;
using Bond.IO.Unsafe;
using Bond.Protocols;
internal static class Program
{
[Bond.Schema]
interface IFoo
{
[Bond.Id(10)]
string FooField { get; set; }
}
[Bond.Schema]
class Bar
{
[Bond.Id(20)]
public IFoo SomeFooInstance { get; set; }
}
class AlwaysUppercaseFoo : IFoo
{
private string fooField;
public string FooField
{
get
{
return fooField;
}
set
{
fooField = value.ToUpperInvariant();
}
}
}
class IdentityFoo : IFoo
{
public string FooField { get; set; }
}
public static Expression NewAlwaysUppercaseFoo(Type type, Type schemaType, params Expression[] arguments)
{
if (schemaType == typeof(IFoo))
{
return Expression.New(typeof(AlwaysUppercaseFoo));
}
// tell Bond we don't handle the requested type, so it should use it's default behavior
return null;
}
public static Expression NewIdentityFoo(Type type, Type schemaType, params Expression[] arguments)
{
if (schemaType == typeof(IFoo))
{
return Expression.New(typeof(IdentityFoo));
}
// tell Bond we don't handle the requested type, so it should use it's default behavior
return null;
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var src = new Bar() { SomeFooInstance = new IdentityFoo() { FooField = "Str" } };
var output = new OutputBuffer();
var writer = new CompactBinaryWriter<OutputBuffer>(output);
Bond.Serialize.To(writer, src);
{
var input = new InputBuffer(output.Data);
var deserializer = new Bond.Deserializer<CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>>(typeof(Bar), NewAlwaysUppercaseFoo);
var reader = new CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>(input);
var dst = deserializer.Deserialize<Bar>(reader);
Debug.Assert(dst.SomeFooInstance.FooField == "STR");
}
{
var input = new InputBuffer(output.Data);
var deserializer = new Bond.Deserializer<CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>>(typeof(Bar), NewIdentityFoo);
var reader = new CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>(input);
var dst = deserializer.Deserialize<Bar>(reader);
Debug.Assert(dst.SomeFooInstance.FooField == "Str");
}
}
}
}
If you need both behavioral and structural differences, then you'll need to pair this with polymorphism and a bonded<IFoo> field so that you can delay deserialization until you have enough type information to select the proper implementation. (Polymorphism is explicit and opt-in in Bond.)
I'd show an example of this, but while writing up this answer on 2018-02-21, I found a bug in the handling of classes with [Bond.Schema] that implement interfaces with [Bond.Schema]: the fields from the interface are omitted.
For now, the workaround would be to use inheritance with classes and use virtual properties. For example:
namespace NS
{
using System;
using Bond.IO.Unsafe;
using Bond.Protocols;
internal static class Program
{
enum FooKind
{
Unknown = 0,
AlwaysUppercase = 1,
Identity = 2,
}
// intentionally a class to work around https://github.com/Microsoft/bond/issues/801 but simulate an interface somewhat
[Bond.Schema]
class IFoo
{
[Bond.Id(0)]
public virtual string FooField { get; set; }
}
[Bond.Schema]
class Bar
{
[Bond.Id(0)]
public Bond.IBonded<IFoo> SomeFooInstance { get; set; }
[Bond.Id(1)]
public FooKind Kind { get; set; }
}
[Bond.Schema]
class AlwaysUppercaseFoo : IFoo
{
private string fooField;
public override string FooField
{
get
{
return fooField;
}
set
{
fooField = value.ToUpperInvariant();
}
}
[Bond.Id(0)]
public string JustAlwaysUppercaseFooField { get; set; }
}
[Bond.Schema]
class IdentityFoo : IFoo
{
[Bond.Id(42)]
public string JustIdentityFooField { get; set; }
}
static void RoundTripAndPrint(Bar src)
{
var output = new OutputBuffer();
var writer = new CompactBinaryWriter<OutputBuffer>(output);
Bond.Serialize.To(writer, src);
var input = new InputBuffer(output.Data);
var reader = new CompactBinaryReader<InputBuffer>(input);
var dst = Bond.Deserialize<Bar>.From(reader);
switch (dst.Kind)
{
case FooKind.Identity:
{
var fooId = dst.SomeFooInstance.Deserialize<IdentityFoo>();
Console.WriteLine($"IdFoo: \"{fooId.FooField}\", \"{fooId.JustIdentityFooField}\"");
}
break;
case FooKind.AlwaysUppercase:
{
var fooUc = dst.SomeFooInstance.Deserialize<AlwaysUppercaseFoo>();
Console.WriteLine($"UcFoo: \"{fooUc.FooField}\", \"{fooUc.JustAlwaysUppercaseFooField}\"");
}
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine($"Unknown Kind: {dst.Kind}");
break;
}
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var o = new OutputBuffer();
var w = new CompactBinaryWriter<OutputBuffer>(o);
Bond.Serialize.To(w, new IdentityFoo() { FooField = "Str", JustIdentityFooField = "id" });
var src_id = new Bar()
{
SomeFooInstance = new Bond.Bonded<IdentityFoo>(new IdentityFoo() { FooField = "Str", JustIdentityFooField = "id" }),
Kind = FooKind.Identity
};
var src_uc = new Bar()
{
SomeFooInstance = new Bond.Bonded<AlwaysUppercaseFoo>(new AlwaysUppercaseFoo() { FooField = "Str", JustAlwaysUppercaseFooField = "I LIKE TO YELL!" }),
Kind = FooKind.AlwaysUppercase
};
RoundTripAndPrint(src_id);
RoundTripAndPrint(src_uc);
}
}
}
This prints:
IdFoo: "Str", "id"
UcFoo: "STR", "I LIKE TO YELL!"
I would like to build a helper method which will take property as object to anonymous method. This is just dummy code example to visualize problem not confront real solution which is way more complex and is not subject of this question.
Some reference code:
public class FooClass : SomeBaseClass {
public string StringProperty { get; set; }
public int IntProperty { get; set; }
public DateTime DateTimeProperty { get; set; }
public Object ComplexObjectProperty { get; set; }
public FooClass() {
this.FooMethod(this.StringProperty);
this.FooMethod(this.IntProperty);
this.FooMethod(this.DateTimeProperty);
this.FooMethod(this.ComplexObjectProperty);
}
public void FooMethod<T>(T obj) {
Func<bool> validateMethod = () => {
if(obj is string) return string.IsNullOrEmpty(obj.ToString());
return obj != null;
};
this.ValidateMethodsAggregate.Add(validateMethod);
}
}
public class SomeBaseClass {
protected IList<Func<bool>> ValidateMethodsAggregate = new List<Func<bool>>();
public void ValidateAll() {
foreach (var validateMethod in this.ValidateMethodsAggregate) {
var result = validateMethod();
// has errors and so on handling...
}
}
}
// Some simple code to show use case.
var foo = new FooClass();
foo.StringProperty = "new value";
foo.IntProperty = 123;
foo.ValidateAll(); // this will use "" , 0 instead of new values.
Use a function and a conditional operator with a private backing method
public FooClass()
{
this.FooMethod(() => StringProperty); // <- pass an accessor
}
public Func<bool> validateMethod;
private void FooMethod<T>(Func<T> obj)
{
//validate method
validateMethod = () => string.IsNullOrEmpty(obj()?.ToString());
}
The usage would be
var y = new FooClass();
var resTrue = y.validateMethod();
y.StringProperty = "Hi";
var resFalse = y.validateMethod();
Sample class:
public class ClassA
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeString { get; set; }
public int? SomeInt { get; set; }
}
Default deserializer:
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ClassA>(str);
Create the same object for two different inputs
{"Id":5}
or
{"Id":5,"SomeString":null,"SomeInt":null}
How can I track properties that were missing during deserialization process and preserve the same behavior? Is there a way to override some of JSON.net serializer methods (e.g. DefaultContractResolver class methods) to achive this. For example:
List<string> missingProps;
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ClassA>(str, settings, missingProps);
For the first input list should contains the names of the missing properties ("SomeString", "SomeInt") and for second input it should be empty. Deserialized object remains the same.
1. JSON has a property which is missing in your class
Using property JsonSerializerSettings.MissingMemberHandling you can say whether missing properties are handled as errors.
Than you can install the Error delegate which will register errors.
This will detect if there is some "garbage" property in JSON string.
public class ClassA
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeString { get; set; }
}
internal class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string str = "{'Id':5, 'FooBar': 42 }";
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ClassA>(str
, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
Error = OnError,
MissingMemberHandling = MissingMemberHandling.Error
});
Console.ReadKey();
}
private static void OnError(object sender, ErrorEventArgs args)
{
Console.WriteLine(args.ErrorContext.Error.Message);
args.ErrorContext.Handled = true;
}
}
2. Your class has a property which is missing in JSON
Option 1:
Make it a required property:
public class ClassB
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(Required = Required.Always)]
public string SomeString { get; set; }
}
Option 2:
Use some "special" value as a default value and check afterwards.
public class ClassB
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[DefaultValue("NOTSET")]
public string SomeString { get; set; }
public int? SomeInt { get; set; }
}
internal class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string str = "{ 'Id':5 }";
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ClassB>(str
, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate
});
if (myObject.SomeString == "NOTSET")
{
Console.WriteLine("no value provided for property SomeString");
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
Option 3:
Another good idea would be to encapsulate this check iside the class istself. Create a Verify() method as shown below and call it after deserialization.
public class ClassC
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[DefaultValue("NOTSET")]
public string SomeString { get; set; }
public int? SomeInt { get; set; }
public void Verify()
{
if (SomeInt == null ) throw new JsonSerializationException("SomeInt not set!");
if (SomeString == "NOTSET") throw new JsonSerializationException("SomeString not set!");
}
}
Another way to find null/undefined tokens during De-serialization is to write a custom JsonConverter , Here is an example of custom converter which can report both omitted tokens (e.g. "{ 'Id':5 }") and null tokens (e.g {"Id":5,"SomeString":null,"SomeInt":null})
public class NullReportConverter : JsonConverter
{
private readonly List<PropertyInfo> _nullproperties=new List<PropertyInfo>();
public bool ReportDefinedNullTokens { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<PropertyInfo> NullProperties
{
get { return _nullproperties; }
}
public void Clear()
{
_nullproperties.Clear();
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return true;
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
existingValue = existingValue ?? Activator.CreateInstance(objectType, true);
var jObject = JObject.Load(reader);
var properties =
objectType.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
foreach (var property in properties)
{
var jToken = jObject[property.Name];
if (jToken == null)
{
_nullproperties.Add(property);
continue;
}
var value = jToken.ToObject(property.PropertyType);
if(ReportDefinedNullTokens && value ==null)
_nullproperties.Add(property);
property.SetValue(existingValue, value, null);
}
return existingValue;
}
//NOTE: we can omit writer part if we only want to use the converter for deserializing
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
var objectType = value.GetType();
var properties =
objectType.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
writer.WriteStartObject();
foreach (var property in properties)
{
var propertyValue = property.GetValue(value, null);
writer.WritePropertyName(property.Name);
serializer.Serialize(writer, propertyValue);
}
writer.WriteEndObject();
}
}
Note: we can omit the Writer part if we don't need to use it for serializing objects.
Usage Example:
class Foo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeString { get; set; }
public int? SomeInt { get; set; }
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var nullConverter=new NullReportConverter();
Console.WriteLine("Pass 1");
var obj0 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>("{\"Id\":5, \"Id\":5}", nullConverter);
foreach(var p in nullConverter.NullProperties)
Console.WriteLine(p);
nullConverter.Clear();
Console.WriteLine("Pass2");
var obj1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>("{\"Id\":5,\"SomeString\":null,\"SomeInt\":null}" , nullConverter);
foreach (var p in nullConverter.NullProperties)
Console.WriteLine(p);
nullConverter.Clear();
nullConverter.ReportDefinedNullTokens = true;
Console.WriteLine("Pass3");
var obj2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>("{\"Id\":5,\"SomeString\":null,\"SomeInt\":null}", nullConverter);
foreach (var p in nullConverter.NullProperties)
Console.WriteLine(p);
}
}
I got this problem, but defaultValue was not solution due to POCO object. I think this is simpler approach than NullReportConverter.
There are three unit tests. Root is class that encapsulate whole json. Key is type of the Property. Hope this helps someone.
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace SomeNamespace {
[TestClass]
public class NullParseJsonTest {
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
string slice = "{Key:{guid:\"asdf\"}}";
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(slice);
Assert.IsTrue(result.OptionalKey.IsSet);
Assert.IsNotNull(result.OptionalKey.Value);
Assert.AreEqual("asdf", result.OptionalKey.Value.Guid);
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod2()
{
string slice = "{Key:null}";
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(slice);
Assert.IsTrue(result.OptionalKey.IsSet);
Assert.IsNull(result.OptionalKey.Value);
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod3()
{
string slice = "{}";
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(slice);
Assert.IsFalse(result.OptionalKey.IsSet);
Assert.IsNull(result.OptionalKey.Value);
}
}
class Root {
public Key Key {
get {
return OptionalKey.Value;
}
set {
OptionalKey.Value = value;
OptionalKey.IsSet = true; // This does the trick, it is never called by JSON.NET if attribute missing
}
}
[JsonIgnore]
public Optional<Key> OptionalKey = new Optional<Key> { IsSet = false };
};
class Key {
public string Guid { get; set; }
}
class Optional<T> {
public T Value { get; set; }
public bool IsSet { get; set; }
}
}
So I'm trying to XML serialize a List<IObject> derrived from an interface, but the IObjects are generic types... best resort to code:
public interface IOSCMethod
{
string Name { get; }
object Value { get; set; }
Type Type { get; }
}
public class OSCMethod<T> : IOSCMethod
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public T Value { get; set; }
public Type Type { get { return _type; } }
protected string _name;
protected Type _type;
public OSCMethod() { }
// Explicit implementation of IFormField.Value
object IOSCMethod.Value
{
get { return this.Value; }
set { this.Value = (T)value; }
}
}
And I have a List of IOSCMethods:
List<IOSCMethod>
of which I add objects to in the following way:
List<IOSCMethod> methodList = new List<IOSCMethod>();
methodList.Add(new OSCMethod<float>() { Name = "/1/button1", Value = 0 });
methodList.Add(new OSCMethod<float[]>() { Name = "/1/array1", Value = new float[10] });
And it's this methodList which is what I'm trying to serialize. But everytime I try, either I get a "Can't serialize an interface" but when I make it (either the IOSCMethod or the OSCMethod<T> class) implement IXmlSerializable I get the problem of "can't serialize an object with a parameterless constructor. but obviously I can't because it's an interface! lame pants.
Any thoughts?
Is this what you want:

};
string xmlString = oscMethods.GetXmlString();
}

public static class Extenstion

using (var xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(new StringWriter(stringBuilder)))
{
xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, objectToSerialize);
xml = stringBuilder.ToString();
}
return xml;
}
}
