In addition to the SingleOrArrayConverter mentioned previously I’ve also created a version to translate enums to/from JSON using the name of the enum rather than it’s value as is the default.
public class SingleOrArrayEnumConverter<T> : JsonConverter
{
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return (objectType == typeof(List<T>));
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
JToken token = JToken.Load(reader);
if (token.Type == JTokenType.Array)
{
return token.ToObject<List<string>>().Select(x => (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), x.ToLower())).ToList();
}
return new List<T> { (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), token.ToObject<string>().ToLower()) };
}
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
if (value.GetType() == typeof(List<T>))
{
List<T> list = (List<T>)value; value = list.Select(x => x.ToString().ToLower()).ToList();
}
else if (value.GetType() == typeof(T))
{
value = value.ToString().ToLower();
}
serializer.Serialize(writer, value);
}
public override bool CanWrite
{
get { return true; }
}
}
