Convert string into valid json in c#

Question

I have the following string:

{"data.childData1":"s1","data.childData2":"s2",...}

How do I convert it to:

{"data":{
     "childData1":"s1",
      "childData2":"s2"
   }
}

What you need is formatted JSON, not valid json. Both of them are valid examples of JSON. *plus, I am not sure about the extra set of `{}` in your second sample* — Habib, Jan 08 '15 at 14:45

You can use this lib to beautify json, or use Json.NET (example source):

public string GetPrettyPrintedJson(string json)
{
    dynamic parsedJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(parsedJson, Formatting.Indented);
}

The result is still the same. No change. – Samar Rizvi Jan 08 '15 at 18:53
Ohhhh I misunderstood your question. What you want to do is not standard, you will probably have to implement it yourself. – Moti Azu Jan 10 '15 at 22:30
