Introduction  [Looking for a needle in haystack] When we have a huge chunk of JSON object or collection of JSON objects and have to get the value of a specific property form the JSON, we will need a tool to get us the value extracted or manually use any editor and search for the key and look up its values.  This is a very tedious job and takes more effort for a person to get this job done Problem Statement  In case of searching for a needle in the haystack, we might have search functionality, however to extract out the values, we must use some sort of regex or other complex mechanism to get the value Solution  In order to overcome the above problem, I have created a simple application using HTML and Javascript that can get this job done very fast. Basic understanding of how objects and keys work will be sufficient to get the job done and I am not building something super special, however, we need a tool that can be handy than write a code each time and attempt to fix the errors or make

When using Newtonsoft. Json to serialize objects, we can avoid few properties from being included in the output for some use case and the same property be included in the serialized output in other cases. There's a feature in the Newtonsoft.Json.NET library, that lets us  determine at runtime whether or not to serialize a particular property of a class / object. During the process of creating a class, we have to include a public method named ShouldSerialize{MemberName} returning a boolean value. Json.NET will call that method during serialization to determine whether or not to serialize the corresponding property of the class. If this method returns true, the property will be serialized; otherwise, it will be ignored. The following illustration shows how this can be achieved. The following is a data definition / class that may be serialized using Newtonsoft.Json.Net public class AuthTypeClaimMapViewModel {     [JsonIgnore]     public bool? _canSerializeName { get;

When using the `Id` as a property in the Javascript Objects, and sending them using JSON.stringify, they are not model bound as `Id`, instead, they are skipped and inserted as null in the bound model in the controller. Hence, Never Use `Id` as a property for a JSON object.

To Parse the JSON Content returned from an ASP.NET MVC2 Controller, use the JSON.parse(data), where data is the JSON content that was received as a response from the Controller.
