I'm setting up audit log for web api. Here i would like to remove password property from json string because of security reason. I don't want to log login password for login API.
Json/Request Payload:
{"code":"medics1","username":"admin","password":"password"}
I tried with below code:
var payload = JArray.Parse(objQueue.payload);
payload.Remove("password");
You are closed to your goal. You need just one little change in your code.
You are using JArray and this is use for parsing json that start and end with [...] not for {...}
And your json is a JObject that means its start and end with {...}
So just use JObject instead of JArray and then it will works
string json = @"{ 'code':'medics1','username':'admin','password':'password'}";
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(json);
jObject.Remove("password");
string outputJson = jObject.ToString();
Output: (From Debugger)
You should use jobject parse here. Below code from newtonsoft site should be helpful
string json = @"{
'channel': {
'title': 'Star Wars',
'link': 'http://www.starwars.com',
'description': 'Star Wars blog.',
'obsolete': 'Obsolete value',
'item': []
}
}";
JObject rss = JObject.Parse(json);
JObject channel = (JObject)rss["channel"];
channel.Property("obsolete").Remove();
You do not have named object, hence you can directly call
rss.Property(“password”).Remove();
Another alternative aproach is to deserialize into a class which ignores password property and then serialize it again.
Hope this helps.
You were almost correct, just you have to deserialize into an object instead of an array based on your JSON string.
string str = @"{'code':'medics1','username':'admin','password':'password'}";
JObject j = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(str);
j.Remove("password");
Console.WriteLine(j.ToString(Formatting.Indented));
Outputting:
{
"code": "medics1",
"username": "admin"
}
