How to convert HttpResponseMessage into Model?

Question

User-1104215994 posted

Hello,

I am implementing asp.net Web API 2. I would like to insert response values into the database. I created a response model. Is there a way to convert HttpResponseMessage into my Model?

HttpResponseMessage response =
                await httpClient.PostAsync("https://test.com/purchaseinitiation", content);

            string htmlResponse = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

My model:

public class InitiateResponse
    {

        public int Id { get; set; }

        public string referenceId { get; set; }

        public string productCode { get; set; }

        public string quantity { get; set; }

        public string version { get; set; }
        public string signature { get; set; }

        public string ApplicationCode { get; set; }

        public string validatedToken { get; set; }

        public DateTime? responseDateTime { get; set; }

        public int initialResultCode { get; set; }
        
       
    }

Best Regards.

Hi,

You have several extensions for HttpClient such as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aspnet/hh834253(v%3dvs.118) which allows to bring support for deserialization (rather than adding explicitely your own deserialization code that most often deal with a particular format).

See also maybe https://nodogmablog.bryanhogan.net/2017/10/httpcontent-readasasync-with-net-core-2/ to see basically what happens being the scene (the extension method uses available formatters and could handle json or XML out of the box).
