How to check if string is BSON in C# .net core?

Question

I have login method:

[HttpPost("login")]
public ResponseBody<UserContext> Login([FromBody] RequestBody<Operator> userCredentials)
{}

RequestBody have T Data field.

is it possible to convert this method to be able to handle both JSON and BSON?

Answer 1

Add BSON support to your API, this artcile should help. And based on request type API can supprort both JSON and BSON.

From article:

public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        config.Formatters.Add(new BsonMediaTypeFormatter());

        // Other Web API configuration not shown...
    }
}

Now if the client requests "application/bson", Web API will use the BSON formatter.
