The JSON output of my project is below, where the single quote becomes '\u0027'

HTML

{   "Jurisdiction Name": "Prince George\u0027s County, MD",
    "Maximum xxxx": "300000"   }

I want to the output like that:

HTML

"Jurisdiction Name": "Prince George's County, MD",

How to do the JSON parse in .Net? Thanks.

SA: Thanks for your code. Since my project (a kind of ESRI SOE project) has to use PURE .Net code, I can't use JS.

Solution 1

In JavaScript, a single quote inside double-quoted string will be parsed correctly as it is. You can check it up with the following JavaScript:

JavaScript

var s = "123'456"
var js = JSON.stringify(s);
s = JSON.parse(js); // the same, after the roundtrip

Therefore, it should be the case with any valid JSON parser.

For parsing, please see my past answers:

To avoid the single quote problem stated above, the single quote in a string is replaced by a similar character but in different Unicode (e.g. ʹ or ʾ ).

Wrong. There is no such problem.

I know it is NOT the problem as I original posting. My approach is to display the string rather than to solve the single quote issue. This is only a temp. solution till I find the approach for it.

Continue - See the output obtained:
"Jurisdiction Name": "Prince Georgeʹs County, MD"

If you read your own question, you will see that it asks about parsing.
As to "display", there is no such problem either. Just display it. Your "approach" is irrelevant.

That was why I commented rather than used it as a solution - see my explanation above.
