JSON-Laconic Conversion

JSON and Laconic formats are completely You can easily convert laconic configuration to JSON format and backwards by using methods NFX.Environment.ConfigNode.ToJSONDataMap() and NFX.Serialization.JSON.JSONDataMap.ToConfigNode().

Suppose string variable confStr contains the following laconic configuration section:

root
{ 
  name="David Crocket"
  contacts
  { 
    address
    {
      zipcode=10010
      city="New York"
    } 
    phone { mobile=891245783968 } 
  }
}

After applying of the code

var node = confStr.AsLaconicConfig();
var map = node.ToJSONDataMap();
var result = map.ToJSON(JSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrint);

the result variable will conatin JSON representation of initial laconic configuration:

{
  "name": "David Crocket", 
  "contacts": 
  {
    "address": 
    {
      "zipcode": "10010", 
      "city": "New York"
    }, 
    "phone": 
    {
      "mobile": "891245783968"
    }
  }
}

The code

var map = (JSONDataMap)jsonStr.JSONToDataObject();
var node = map.ToConfigNode();
var result = node.ToLaconicString();

will do the opposite task.
