Hello everyone,
my question is the following:
Let's say, i want to build a Web API, the easy way.
That means i only want to have Controllers, Models, Global.asax and some kind of Database Context.
My Model looks like this:
namespace web_api
{
public class Country
{
public int id {get; set;}
public string name {get; set;}
public City[] City {get; set;}
}
public class City
{
public int id {get; set;}
public string name {get; set;}
public Citizen[] Citizen {get; set;}
}
public class Citizen
{
public int id {get; set;}
public string name {get; set;}
public int age {get; set;}
}
My Database looks like this:
Entity Country id | name ______________________ 1 Germany 2 USA ...... Entity City id | name | country_id __________________________________________ 1 Munich 1 2 Los Angeles 2 Entity Citizen id | name | age | city_id _________________________________________________ 1 Peter Pan 35 1 2 Winney ThePooh 50 2
And finally i want to get a JSON that looks like this:
[
{"id":1,"name":Germany,"city": [
{"id":1,"name":"munich""citizen": [
{"id":1,"name":"Peter Pan",
"age":35
}
]
}
]
}
]The database (Sql Server) is already set up and the data is also exisiting (incl. Foreign Keys, Primary Keys...)
I'm looking for a possible way to get the data from the database into my Web API.
Many thanks in advance.
