JayData JSON decode error

Question

I have JSON objects coming back from ASP.Net oData services which I am reading through JayData oData provider. On one service, JSON object is read into an array without any problems. On another service (from same server), the resulting array contains only etag data for all the elements.

I am not sure if there is a format mismatch or JayData is not decoding the JSON format correctly.

Could someone take a look and see where the problem is located?

Here is the header

and here is the JSON data.

{"d":[{"__metadata":{"id":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(1)","uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(1)","etag":"W/\"'John%20%20%20%20%20%20','Doe%20%20%20%20%20%20%20','1234567890'\"","type":"LightSwitchApplication.Customer"},"Orders":{"__deferred":{"uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(1)/Orders"}},"CustID":1,"FName":"John      ","LName":"Doe       ","Phone":"1234567890"},{"__metadata":{"id":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(2)","uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(2)","etag":"W/\"'Jane%20%20%20%20%20%20','Smith%20%20%20%20%20','7703211234'\"","type":"LightSwitchApplication.Customer"},"Orders":{"__deferred":{"uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(2)/Orders"}},"CustID":2,"FName":"Jane      ","LName":"Smith     ","Phone":"7703211234"},{"__metadata":{"id":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(3)","uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(3)","etag":"W/\"'Dan%20%20%20%20%20%20%20','Handy%20%20%20%20%20','6789876543'\"","type":"LightSwitchApplication.Customer"},"Orders":{"__deferred":{"uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(3)/Orders"}},"CustID":3,"FName":"Dan       ","LName":"Handy     ","Phone":"6789876543"},{"__metadata":{"id":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(4)","uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(4)","etag":"W/\"'Mike%20%20%20%20%20%20','Smith%20%20%20%20%20','4041231234'\"","type":"LightSwitchApplication.Customer"},"Orders":{"__deferred":{"uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(4)/Orders"}},"CustID":4,"FName":"Mike      ","LName":"Smith     ","Phone":"4041231234"},{"__metadata":{"id":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(5)","uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(5)","etag":"W/\"'Aaron%20%20%20%20%20','Hayes%20%20%20%20%20','2431235678'\"","type":"LightSwitchApplication.Customer"},"Orders":{"__deferred":{"uri":"http://localhost:56786/GCSData.svc/Customers(5)/Orders"}},"CustID":5,"FName":"Aaron     ","LName":"Hayes     ","Phone":"2431235678"}]}

In the resulting array, for each Customer, all the fields (FName, LName, phone) contain the exact data (which equals to the "etag" field). Here is an example for Customer(1)

{"CustID":1,"FName":"W/\"'John%20%20%20%20%20%20','Doe%20%20%20%20%20%20%20','1234567890'\"","LName":"W/\"'John%20%20%20%20%20%20','Doe%20%20%20%20%20%20%20','1234567890'\"","Phone":"W/\"'John%20%20%20%20%20%20','Doe%20%20%20%20%20%20%20','1234567890'\""}

The JSON data is read through toLiveArray() method.

Make sure you use the [TimeStamp] attribute on server-side to publish your ETag in byte array format:

[Timestamp]
public byte[] token { get; set; }
