I want to use the Goolge AJAX Feed API in my C # console application to save return channels as C # collections, so I can use this .net collcionion in my .net application.
I noticed that google gives snippets of Java code, but I don't know how to encode it in C #. I know that there is a very good open-source.net Json.NET library that we can use to read and write JSON formatted data.
Can someone give me exmpale how to use C # and Json.NET to play with Google's AJAX Feed API?
Final decision:
public class FeedApiResult
{
public ResponseData responseData { get; set; }
public string responseDetails { get; set; }
public string responseStatus { get; set; }
}
public class ResponseData
{
public Feed feed { get; set; }
}
public class Feed
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string link { get; set; }
public string author { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public List<Entry> entries { get; set; }
}
public class Entry
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string link { get; set; }
public string author { get; set; }
public string publishedDate { get; set; }
public string contentSnippet { get; set; }
public string content { get; set; }
}
var url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digg.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&v=1.0";
var wc = new WebClient();
var rawFeedData = wc.DownloadString(url);
JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
FeedApiResult foo = ser.Deserialize<FeedApiResult>(rawFeedData);
var apiResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<FeedApiResult>(rawFeedData);
