Deserialize nested level XML - c#

I am trying to retrieve data from Zoho API and then I want to Deserialize a returned data in an object.
The XML structure:
<response uri="/crm/private/xml/Potentials/getSearchRecords">
<result>
<Potentials>
<row no="1">
<FL val="POTENTIALID">0000000000000</FL>
<FL val="SMOWNERID">000000000000</FL>
.......
</row>
<row no="2">
.......
</row>
</Potentials>
</result>
</response>
And here what I tried but didn't succeed.
[Serializable()]
public class ZohoXML
{
public ZohoXML() { }
[XmlElement("POTENTIALID")]
public string POTENTIALID { get; set; }
........
}
[XmlRoot("response")]
public class Response
{
[XmlElement("result")]
public Result[] ResultList { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
[XmlArray("Potentials"), XmlArrayItem("row")]
public Row[] RowList { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot("row")]
public class Row
{
[XmlArray("Potentials")]
[XmlArrayItem("row", typeof(ZohoXML))]
public ZohoXML[] ZohoXML { get; set; }
}
And this is how I deserialize:
Response ZohoXMLCollection = null;
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(Response));
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(strFile);
ZohoXMLCollection = (Response)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
reader.Close();
Can anybody please help on identifying an issue in the code ?


If you are using a newer version of VS you can use Edit > Paste Special > Paste XML as Classes in the edit menu. Assuming your XML structure is correct this will give you:
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public partial class response
{
private responseResult resultField;
private string uriField;
/// <remarks/>
public responseResult result
{
get
{
return this.resultField;
}
set
{
this.resultField = value;
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute()]
public string uri
{
get
{
return this.uriField;
}
set
{
this.uriField = value;
}
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
public partial class responseResult
{
private responseResultRow[] potentialsField;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute("row", IsNullable = false)]
public responseResultRow[] Potentials
{
get
{
return this.potentialsField;
}
set
{
this.potentialsField = value;
}
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
public partial class responseResultRow
{
private responseResultRowFL[] flField;
private byte noField;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("FL")]
public responseResultRowFL[] FL
{
get
{
return this.flField;
}
set
{
this.flField = value;
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute()]
public byte no
{
get
{
return this.noField;
}
set
{
this.noField = value;
}
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
public partial class responseResultRowFL
{
private string valField;
private byte valueField;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute()]
public string val
{
get
{
return this.valField;
}
set
{
this.valField = value;
}
}
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTextAttribute()]
public byte Value
{
get
{
return this.valueField;
}
set
{
this.valueField = value;
}
}
}
You will want to clean up the names but for now this is fine.
Then your de-serialization will look like this:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(response));
response res = new response();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fileLocation))
{
res = serializer.Deserialize(reader) as response;
}
Note that StreamReader implements the IDisposable interface so should be used within a using block to ensure automatic disposable of resources.

How can we pass XML as request to .Net core API and get response in XML from Same API in c#?

I want to create an API in .net core which accept XML request and gives response in XML only.
I have searched and created sample but when I hit request to the API with XML request it does not work.
Debugger did not come up to the controller.
I have also added below the line of code in the configure services of the startup.cs class.
services.AddMvc(options =>
{
options.RespectBrowserAcceptHeader = true; // false by default
options.InputFormatters.Insert(0, new XDocumentInputFormatter());
}).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2)
.AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
.AddXmlDataContractSerializerFormatters();
The POST method have written in the controller as below.
[Produces("application/xml")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(CustomerDetails), (int)HttpStatusCode.OK)]
[HttpPost("CustomerDetails", Name = "CustomerDetails")]
public IActionResult CustomerDetails([FromBody] CustomerDetails CustReq)
{
var resp = new CustomerDetails
{
BankId="1234567"
};
return Ok(resp);
}
Processing my request from Postman getting an error.
An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

Below is my XML request I want to process.

}

the result is serialized based on what the requester requested! if you want xml just put ja corresponding header! and why [FromBody]XElement xml ? cant you use a normal model?

If Your API need request in XML. Below are things need to consider
1. In .ent core add below code in ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs Class
services.AddMvc(options =>
{
options.RespectBrowserAcceptHeader = true; // false by default
}).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2)
.AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
.AddXmlDataContractSerializerFormatters();
Create XML Data class by just simply copy your XML request and in the visual studio ..select paste special from edit menu and select paste XML as classes. It will generate classes as per your XML.
Now you this class as [FromBody] YourClassName request in post method. Do include produce annotation as application/xml above your post method

In ASP.NET Core, everything is highly modular, so you only add the functionality you need to your application. Consequently, there's a separate NuGet package for the XML formatters that you need to add to your .csproj file - Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml" Version="1.1.3" />
Adding the package to your project lights up an extension method on the IMvcBuilder instance returned by the call to services.AddMvc(). The AddXmlSerializerFormatters() method adds both input and output formatters, so you can serialise objects to and from XML.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc()
.AddXmlSerializerFormatters();
}
Alternatively, if you only want to be able to format results as XML, but don't need to be able to read XML from a request body, you can just add the output formatter instead:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc(options =>
{
options.OutputFormatters.Add(new XmlSerializerOutputFormatter());
});
}
For Supporting XML as Input
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc(options =>
{
options.FormatterMappings.SetMediaTypeMappingForFormat
("xml", MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/xml"));
options.FormatterMappings.SetMediaTypeMappingForFormat
("config", MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/xml"));
options.FormatterMappings.SetMediaTypeMappingForFormat
("js", MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/json"));
})
.AddXmlSerializerFormatters();

How to Deserialize XML Attributes into objects, then iterate through the objects

I would like to be able to 'do things' to the Vehicles in the XML file. Ideally I want to iterate through all the vehicles and do a calculation on their price, and change whether they are OnSale. These values would then be displayed in the UI. My code deserializes the XML file but I am unable to access any of the attributes for the Vehicle. I do not need to serialize the objects back to XML.
I have tried to Console.WriteLine the Price, however when I run the code it is returned as 0. Should I be creating an Array of ResponseGeographyVendorRegionVehicle? and then somehow adding objects of that type to the array?
This is the XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Response>
<Geography>
<Vendor id="JOHN">
<Region id="1"></Region>
<Region id="2">
<Vehicle Make="HONDA" Fuel="Gas" Price="12000" OnSale="Y" Account="JOHNH" />
<Vehicle Make="ACURA" Fuel="Gas" Price="14100" OnSale="Y" Account="JOHNH" />
<Vehicle Make="TOYOTA" Fuel="Gas" Price="8000" OnSale="N" Account="JOHNH" />
<Vehicle Make="HYUNDAI" Fuel="Gas" Price="13000" OnSale="Y" Account="JOHNH" />
<Vehicle Make="INFINITY" Fuel="Gas" Price="16000" OnSale="N" Account="JOHNH" />
</Region>
<Region id="3"></Region>
<Region id="4"></Region>
</Vendor>
</Geography>
</Response>
This is my Program.cs:
namespace XMLDeserializeExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string path = #"c:\XMLFile1.xml";
XmlRootAttribute xRoot = new XmlRootAttribute();
xRoot.ElementName = "Response";
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ResponseGeographyVendorRegionVehicle), xRoot);
ResponseGeographyVendorRegionVehicle i;
using (Stream reader = new FileStream(path,FileMode.Open))
{
i = (ResponseGeographyVendorRegionVehicle)ser.Deserialize(reader);
Console.WriteLine(i.Price);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}

Please let me know how I can better explain myself. Apologies if none of this makes sense- welcome to my weekend lol.
Thank you.

As your xml-root is obviously a Response instead of a ResponseGeographyVendor you have to de-serialize to that type:
string path = #"c:\XMLFile1.xml";
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(response);
ResponseGeographyVendor i;
using (Stream reader = new FileStream(path,FileMode.Open))
{
i = ((Response)ser.Deserialize(reader)).Geography.Vendor;
Console.WriteLine(i.Price);
Console.ReadLine();
}
A serializer will only work on the entire xml-document. You can´t just write or read parts of it. So just use the xml, serialize it to an instance of Response and get its Geography-member.
Now you can easily get the 3rd Vehicle within the second Region:
var vehicle = i.Region[1].Vehicle[2];
Notice that you don´t need to provide the xml-root yourself.

You'll want to use the XML Serializer that's built into .Net.
First create a class to represent the XML document data:
public class Response
{
public Geography Geography {get; set;}
}
public class Geography
{
public Vendor Vendor{get;set;}
}
public class Vendor
{
public List<Region> Regions {get;set;}
}
public class Region
{
}
and so on.
Then read the xml as a string and deserialize it:
string myXml = File.ReadAsStringAsync(filepath).Result;
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Response));
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(myXml)
{
Response myResponse = ser.Deserialize(reader);
}
Then you can iterate through all the properties and stuff on the Geography object.

C# can't deserialize XML containing xsi:type

I get the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: 'There is an error in XML document (33, 14).'
Inner Exception
InvalidOperationException: The specified type was not recognized:
name='genericDrug', namespace='http://webservice.sirkb/', at http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope'>.
I have noticed from this thread that if I remove xsi:type="ns2:genericDrug" from the XML file I can deserialize the XML. I can't modify the XML because it is the response I get for the request. It is not a good practice to do a string replace on XML, so I am looking for a better solution.
This might be a duplicate question from this one, but since I am not able to solve the problem I am posting it again because it is difficult to get help in the comment section.
Based on the above question I have tried to change the annotation of public partial class returnDRUG
from
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope")]
to
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", TypeName = "genericDrug")]
but still cant parse the XML.
The parsing code is simple
var deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(GovTalkMessage));
TextReader textReader = new StreamReader("drug.xml"); //saved response in file for simplicity
GovTalkMessage response;
response = (GovTalkMessage)deserializer.Deserialize(textReader);
textReader.Close();
What can I do to deserialize the XML in the GovTalkMessage object?

You need to change the decoration on the returnDRUG class
from this
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope")]
public partial class returnDRUG
to this
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(TypeName = "genericDrug", Namespace = "http://webservice.sirkb/")]
public partial class returnDRUG
Specify it's type as "genericDrug", and the crucial bit, correct it's namespace to "http://webservice.sirkb/"
I've just used you code and managed to de-serialize using this change.
The explanation is that if you take a look at the definition of DRUG you can see that it's type is defined as "genericDRUG" in the namespace alias "ns2"
<DRUG xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns2:genericDrug">
if you look at the definition of the ns2 alias you can see that it's "http://webservice.sirkb/"
<ns2:getGenericDrugsResponse xmlns:ns2="http://webservice.sirkb/">
Some addition to prevent default values for DRUG objects
Every property of the returnDrug class should have the namespace http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope.
The complete class should have the following form:
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(TypeName = "genericDrug", Namespace = "http://webservice.sirkb/")]

the above code is giving required value with a lot of additional attributes value and the code seems lengthy too. However, I need those 4 value. Please suggest any better solution.

UPDATED (2018-09-10)
I've updated this to get it easy to use.
Before I started, I decided that you probably wanted the possibility of longProps in the HTTPSamplerProxy section. It also made the coding (much) easier and cleaner. I've tested it without any longProps just to make sure it worked with the existing XML the way you'd expect.
The original process
The updates to the original description are italicized
What I did was to use the standard XSD.exe tool to take your source XML file (with an extra longProp in the HTTPSamplerProxy section) and create an XSD. Then I used XSD.exe again to create a (very ugly) C# file. At that point, the root of the whole mess is the TestPlan class. Here's what XSD.exe produced (updated - the only change to the newly-emitted XSD.exe code was a namespace declaration at the top):

The rest of this is mostly new
The code emitted by XSD.exe creates a set of partial classes. I extended the partial classes in a few ways in a separate source file. But, before I started, I declared an interface and a static worker class.
public interface IGrouping {
boolProp[] boolProp { get; }
stringProp[] stringProp { get; }
longProp[] longProp { get; }
Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; }
Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; }
Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; }
}
and
public static class PropertyGrouper {
public static void GroupProperties(IGrouping itemToGroup) {
//has this been done before, if yes, return
if (itemToGroup.StringProperties.Count > 0 || itemToGroup.BoolProperties.Count > 0 || itemToGroup.LongProperties.Count > 0 ) {
return;
}
//otherwise
if (itemToGroup.boolProp != null) {
foreach (var bProp in itemToGroup.boolProp) {
var succeeded = bool.TryParse(bProp.Value, out var bValue);
itemToGroup.BoolProperties.Add(bProp.name, succeeded ? bValue : (bool?)null);
}
}
if (itemToGroup.longProp != null) {
foreach (var lProp in itemToGroup.longProp) {
var succeeded = long.TryParse(lProp.Value, out var lValue);
itemToGroup.LongProperties.Add(lProp.name, succeeded ? lValue : (long?)null);
}
}
if (itemToGroup.stringProp != null) {
foreach (var sProp in itemToGroup.stringProp) {
itemToGroup.StringProperties.Add(sProp.name, sProp.Value);
}
}
}
}
With those in place, I extended each of the XSD.exe-emitted classes. The TestPlan class was easy - I just added a typed property:
public partial class TestPlan {
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTree HashTree => Items[0] as hashTree;
}
The hashTreeThreadGroup and hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy classes were extended in the same way (remember, I didn't name any of these classes, XSD.exe named them from your XML) . Each was declared to implement the IGrouping interface, and each got 3 dictionaries of properties (as required by IGrouping). The three arrays in the IGrouping interface were in the XSD-emitted code:
public partial class hashTreeThreadGroup : IGrouping {
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, bool?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, long?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
public partial class hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy : IGrouping {
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, bool?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, long?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
Finally, I extended hashTree class. I added three typed properties, each with a null check to make things clean. The ThreadGroupItem and HttpSamplerProxyItem properties each get a call to PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties. The first time this is called, the properties in the XmlSerializer-created property arrays are copied into Dictionaries.
public partial class hashTree {
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTree HashTree {
get {
if (hashTree1 != null) {
return hashTree1[0] as hashTree;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTreeThreadGroup ThreadGroupItem {
get {
if (ThreadGroup != null) {
var threadGroup = ThreadGroup[0]; // as hashTreeThreadGroup;
PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties(threadGroup);
return threadGroup;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy HttpSamplerProxyItem {
get {
if (HTTPSamplerProxy != null) {
var httpSamplerProxy = HTTPSamplerProxy[0];
PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties(httpSamplerProxy);
return httpSamplerProxy;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
}
With that all in place, I ran the same code.
TestPlan result;
using (var stream = new FileStream("source.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) {
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TestPlan));
result = (TestPlan)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
}
This code is how I accessed your data with my first example.
var numThreadsParsed = long.TryParse((((XmlSerializeForm.hashTree)result.Items[0]).hashTree1[0].ThreadGroup[0].stringProp[1].Value), out var numThreads);
var httpSamplerPath = ((XmlSerializeForm.hashTree)result.Items[0]).hashTree1[0].hashTree1[0].hashTree1[0].HTTPSamplerProxy[0].stringProp[4].Value;
But, with the few simple additions I made (well, the code isn't that complicated, but getting it right was), accessing the properties is much cleaner:
string numThreadsParsed = result.HashTree.HashTree.ThreadGroupItem.StringProperties["ThreadGroup.num_threads"];
long? startTime = result.HashTree.HashTree.ThreadGroupItem.LongProperties["ThreadGroup.start_time"];
string httpSamplerPath = result.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HttpSamplerProxyItem.StringProperties["HTTPSampler.path"];
bool? useKeepAlive = result.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HttpSamplerProxyItem.BoolProperties["HTTPSampler.use_keepalive"];
There you go!

With external lib Cinchoo ETL - an open source library, you can grab the chosen node values easily as below
Define .NET type
public class TestPlan
{
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/ThreadGroup/stringProp[#name=""ThreadGroup.on_sample_error""]")]
public string NumThreads { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/ThreadGroup/stringProp[#name=""ThreadGroup.ramp_time""]")]
public int RampTime { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/hashTree/hashTree/HTTPSamplerProxy/stringProp[#name=""HTTPSampler.path""]")]
public string Path { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/hashTree/hashTree/HTTPSamplerProxy/stringProp[#name=""HTTPSampler.domain""]")]
public string Domain { get; set; }
}
Then deserialize the input xml using Cinchoo ETL as below
static void Main()
{
using (var p = new ChoXmlReader<TestPlan>("*** XML file path ***")
.WithXPath("/TestPlan/hashTree/hashTree")
)
{
foreach (var rec in p)
Console.WriteLine(rec.Dump());
}
}
Output:
-- ChoXmlReaderTest.Program+TestPlan State --
NumThreads: continue
RampTime: 1
Path: /v1/test/test?debug=false
Domain: www.abc.com/abc-service-api
Hope it helps.

XML Deserialization is not working

I'm trying to deserialize the below XML but the process seems not to be working...
Here's what I get when I display the values in a PropertyGrid control after deserializing the XML:
As you can see, the elements under Header has no values.
Can you please help to check what's wrong with the codes?
Message class:
namespace MyProject
{
[XmlRoot(ElementName="Header")]
public class Header {
[XmlElement(ElementName="Sender")]
public string Sender { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName="Receiver")]
public string Receiver { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName="MessageID")]
public string MessageID { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName="CreationDateTime")]
public string CreationDateTime { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="version")]
public string Version { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName="Message", Namespace="http://example.com")]
public class Message {
private Header _header = new Header();
[XmlElement(ElementName="Header")]
[TypeConverter(typeof(ConverterExpandableObject))]
public Header Header
{
get { return _header; }
set { _header = value; }
}
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="ns", Namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")]
public string Ns { get; set; }
}
}
Method to deserialize the XML:
void DeserializeMessage()
{
string messageString = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + #"\Message.xml";
if (File.Exists(messageString))
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Message));
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(messageString);
Message m = (Message)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
reader.Close();
propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = m;
}
}
and the XML itself:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:Message xmlns:ns="http://example.com">
<Header version="1.0">
<Sender>3015207400109</Sender>
<Receiver>8711200999903</Receiver>
<MessageID>000D2613F64AC021ED783C084735EC78E53</MessageID>
<CreationDateTime>2017-03-21T08:00:47Z</CreationDateTime>
</Header>
</ns:Message>

change you classes like below and it will work.
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://example.com")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "http://example.com", IsNullable = false)]
