Replacing values in JSON string using JSON.net library (C#)

Question

I've got a JSON string. I need to replace some values in it. I do it this way:

string jsonString = "{\"id\": \"5281959998_126883980715630\", \"name\": \"The New York Times\", \"category\": \"Company\"}";
JObject jObj = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
jObj["category"] = "inc";
string strJson = jObj.ToString();

But it doesn't work properly! Symbols "\r\n" appears after each key-value pair. What am I doing wrong? How can I prevent appearance of these symbols?

Given that it's still valid JSON with the same meaning, why do you really care? You can always just replace "\r\n" with "" if you really want to. — Jon Skeet

Using ToString() you can't change this behaviour. It is documented that this method returns indented JSON.

You need to use the overload instead:

var result = jObj.ToString(Formatting.None);

In fact with \r\ns or not, they are valid jsons.

string strJson = jObj.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None, null);
