Post a Json string in Xamarin












2














In my app, I am posting json string to the server in this manner:



string url = "my/url";
HttpClient newClient = new HttpClient();

string contentType = "application/json";
JObject json = new JObject
{
{ "id", "id" },
{ "apiKey", "apiKey" },
{ "EncryptedData", Data }
};

var jon = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(json);
var content = new StringContent(jon, Encoding.UTF8, contentType);
var TaskPostAsync = await newClient.PostAsync(url, content);


if (TaskPostAsync.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var contentString = await TaskPostAsync.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();}


The response I am getting is that it is not in a Json format. Where am I going wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
Data is a string.

By calling



 var jon = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(json);


You are serializing it twice.



JObject is already JSON so all you need to do is call .ToString to get the JSON



//...

JObject json = new JObject
{
{ "id", "id" },
{ "apiKey", "apiKey" },
{ "EncryptedData", Data }
};

var content = new StringContent(json.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, contentType);

//...


Reference Write JSON text with JToken.ToString



Another option would be to use an anonymous object and then serialize that



//...

var model = new {
id = "id",
apiKey = "apiKey",
encryptedData = Data
};

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);
var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, contentType);

//...
