If you can use System.Web.Extensions
, something like this could work:
var csv = new List<string[]>(); // or, List<YourClass>
var lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\file.txt");
foreach (string line in lines)
csv.Add(line.Split(',')); // or, populate YourClass
string json = new
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(csv);
You might have more complex parsing requirements for the csv file and you might have a class that encapsulates the data from one line, but the point is that you can serialize to JSON with one line of code once you have a Collection of lines.
