How to serialize a JObject without the formatting?
JsonSerializationjson.netJson Problem Overview
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?
Json Solutions
Solution 1 - Json
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.

Solution 2 - Json
You can also do the following;
string json = myJObject.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None);
Solution 3 - Json
you can use JsonConvert.SerializeObject()
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject) // myObject is returned by JObject.Parse() method
