I have a dictionary that I am serializing with the json.net serializer, and it currently produces
{"phrases":[{"Key":"my-key1","Value":"blah"},{"Key":"my-key2","Value":"blah2"}]}
however I want it to output
{"phrases":["my-key1":"blah"},{"my-key2":"blah2"}]}
my model looks like
public class Phrases
{
public Dictionary<string, string> phrases;
}
Is there a data attribute that I can apply to the phrase model to make this happen?
I found the following, but don't want to return the Serialize string to the keyword dictionary using Json.Net?
UPDATE:
I am extending the web api controller as follows, if I use JsonConvert.SerializeObject (), I get the correct serialization, however I will then have a string to return.
public class PhraseController : ApiController
{
private IApplicationModel applicationModel;
public Phrases Get(string id)
{
var locale = new CultureInfo(id).LCID;
var phrases = applicationModel.Phrases.Where(x => x.Locale = locale).ToDictionary(x => x.Name, y => y.Value);
return new Phrases() { phrases = phrases };
}
public PhraseController(IApplicationModel applicationModel)
{
this.applicationModel = applicationModel;
}
}
