Hi,

I am getting the xml string as given below. I am new in c#. Kindly help me to get the values and arraylist from the same xml string using serializer or deserialize.

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <java version="1.4.1.07" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
     <object class="java.util.HashMap">
      <void method="put">
       <string>RES_ERROR_DESC</string>
       <string></string>
      </void>
      <void method="put">
       <string>RES_VALUE_OUT</string>
       <object class="java.util.HashMap">
        <void method="put">
         <string>1</string>
         <object class="java.util.ArrayList">
          <void method="add">
           <string>UMESH AGARWAL  AGARWAL (MINOR)</string>
          </void>
          <void method="add">

Is it a some kind of service response?

Member 10484876 16-Sep-14 7:52am

Hi, Thanks for reply.
Yes the same xml string received from the webservice response. where they using hashmap and XMLDecoder in Java. I want to use such kind of method. I expect to get the values mentioned in string tags.

How do you want your output to be formatted?

Or the output as Object or arraylist

Well, I don't know Java, so I have no idea how that would look like.

There are several strategies you could pursue, but, keep in mind that you are translating objects from Java to C#, objects that may be structurally different. Worst case is you have to write your own custom parser for Java objects that do not "map" to C# ?

1. explore serializing from Java to JSON, and then use .NET's JSON classes to de-serialize the JSON.

2. explore using the JLCA (Java Language Conversion Assistant) from Microsoft. Note: this goes "way back," and I've never used it.[^].

3. There's an April 2014 review of five tools for converting Java to C# : >[^].

I suggest you add to your question the Java source that was serialized into the XML you show.
