Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: "Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path
Hei all, I am coding a REST API HTTP POST REQUEST, but I always get an error as soon as I start Building the Project. Might it be the way how my JSON is written ? or maybe something else ?
the code:
static private void RunAsyncPost(string username, string password){ string url = "http://someIP/rest"; // Create the JSON request body var requestBody = new { info = new { name = "C#testfile.js", type = 282, isDir = false, desc = "", @lock = "", ownerName = "Some Service", access = "WDDRWDE-PIDDS", parentId = 234253 }, acl = new[] { new { member = "Administrator", id = 0, type = "USER", access = "RWWEDSGEERLP" } }, keywording = new { maskNameOriginal = "Incoming Invoice", fields = new { VENDOR_NAME = "Test_Vendor1" } } }; // Serialize the JSON request body string jsonRequestBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(requestBody); // Create the HTTP client and request message using (var httpClient = new HttpClient()) using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url)) { // Set the authorization header string authHeader = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{username}:{password}")); requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", authHeader); // Set the content type and request body requestMessage.Content = new StringContent(jsonRequestBody, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"); // Send the HTTP request and get the response var response = httpClient.SendAsync(requestMessage).Result; // Check the response status code if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { // Deserialize the response body //var responseBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result); var responseBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result); // Do something with the response ResponseStream = responseBody.ToString(); // output normaly in CMD but here I am using a textbox of windows Forms } else { ResponseStream = $"HTTP error {response.StatusCode}"; // output normaly in CMD but here I am using a textbox of windows Forms } }
static private void RunAsyncPost(string username, string password){ string url = "http://someIP/rest"; // Create the JSON request body var requestBody = new { info = new { name = "C#testfile.js", type = 282, isDir = false, desc = "", @lock = "", ownerName = "Some Service", access = "WDDRWDE-PIDDS", parentId = 234253 }, acl = new[] { new { member = "Administrator", id = 0, type = "USER", access = "RWWEDSGEERLP" } }, keywording = new { maskNameOriginal = "Incoming Invoice", fields = new { VENDOR_NAME = "Test_Vendor1" } } }; // Serialize the JSON request body string jsonRequestBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(requestBody); // Create the HTTP client and request message using (var httpClient = new HttpClient()) using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url)) { // Set the authorization header string authHeader = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{username}:{password}")); requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", authHeader); // Set the content type and request body requestMessage.Content = new StringContent(jsonRequestBody, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"); // Send the HTTP request and get the response var response = httpClient.SendAsync(requestMessage).Result; // Check the response status code if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { // Deserialize the response body //var responseBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result); var responseBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result); // Do something with the response ResponseStream = responseBody.ToString(); // output normaly in CMD but here I am using a textbox of windows Forms } else { ResponseStream = $"HTTP error {response.StatusCode}"; // output normaly in CMD but here I am using a textbox of windows Forms } }
