c# - Is there a built in way to serialize array configuration values? -

i'm on new asp.net 5 project.

i'm trying read array value, stored in config.json file, looks this:

{   "appsettings": {     "sitetitle": "myproject",     "tenants": {       "reservedsubdomains": ["www", "info", "admin"]     }   },   "data": {     "defaultconnection": {       "connectionstring": "server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;database=aspnet5-myproject....."     }   } } 

how access c# code?

at least beta4 arrays aren't supported in config.json. see asp.net issue 620. use following config.json:

"appsettings": {   "sitetitle": "myproject",   "tenants": {     "reservedsubdomains": "www, info, admin"   } } 

and map class this:

public class appsettings {   public string sitetitle { get; set; }   public appsettingstenants tenants { get; set; } = new appsettingstenants(); }  public class appsettingstenants {   public string reservedsubdomains { get; set; }   public list<string> reservedsubdomainlist   {      { return !string.isnullorempty(reservedsubdomains) ? reservedsubdomains.split(',').tolist() : new list<string>(); }   } } 

this can injected controller:

public class mycontroller : controller {   private readonly appsettings _appsettings;    public mycontroller(ioptions<appsettings> appsettings)   {      _appsettings = appsettings.options;   }
