c# - Store Hardcoded JSON string to variable

Question

I'm having an issue storing this json string to a variable. It's gotta be something stupid I am missing here

private string someJson = @"{
    "ErrorMessage": "",
    "ErrorDetails": {
        "ErrorID": 111,
        "Description": {
            "Short": 0,
            "Verbose": 20
        },
        "ErrorDate": ""
    }
}";

Answer 1

You have to escape the "'s if you use the @ symbol it doesn't allow the to be used as an escape after the first ". So the two options are:

don't use the @ and use to escape the "

string someJson = "{"ErrorMessage": "","ErrorDetails": {"ErrorID": 111,"Description":{"Short": 0,"Verbose": 20},"ErrorDate": ""}}";

or use double quotes

string someJson =@"{""ErrorMessage"": """",""ErrorDetails"": {""ErrorID"": 111,""Description"": {""Short"": 0,""Verbose"": 20},""ErrorDate"": """"}}";
