How to serialize a JObject without the formatting?

Question

I have a JObject (I'm using Json.Net) that I constructed with LINQ to JSON (also provided by the same library). When I call the ToString() method on the JObject, it outputs the results as formatted JSON.

How do I set the formatting to "none" for this?

Answer 1

Call JObject's ToString(Formatting.None) method.

Alternatively if you pass the object to the JsonConvert.SerializeObject method it will return the JSON without formatting.

Documentation: Write JSON text with JToken.ToString

Answer 2

You can also do the following;

string json = myJObject.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None);

Answer 3

you can use JsonConvert.SerializeObject()

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject) // myObject is returned by JObject.Parse() method

JsonConvert.SerializeObject()

JObject.Parse()
