I have an Xml Complex that contains "children" nodes and I need to convert it to BSON

I think it would be interesting to serialize your XML into a dynamic object first:
public class XmlToDynamic
{
public static void Parse(dynamic parent, XElement node)
{
if (node.HasElements)
{
if (node.Elements(node.Elements().First().Name.LocalName).Count() > 1)
{
//list
var item = new ExpandoObject();
var list = new List<dynamic>();
foreach (var element in node.Elements())
{
Parse(list, element);
}
AddProperty(item, node.Elements().First().Name.LocalName, list);
AddProperty(parent, node.Name.ToString(), item);
}
else
{
var item = new ExpandoObject();
foreach (var attribute in node.Attributes())
{
AddProperty(item, attribute.Name.ToString(), attribute.Value.Trim());
}
//element
foreach (var element in node.Elements())
{
Parse(item, element);
}
AddProperty(parent, node.Name.ToString(), item);
}
}
else
{
AddProperty(parent, node.Name.ToString(), node.Value.Trim());
}
}
private static void AddProperty(dynamic parent, string name, object value)
{
if (parent is List<dynamic>)
{
(parent as List<dynamic>).Add(value);
}
else
{
(parent as IDictionary<String, object>)[name] = value;
}
}
}
Usage:
var xDoc = XDocument.Load(new StreamReader("seu_xml.xml"));
dynamic meuObjetoDinamico = new ExpandoObject();
XmlToDynamic.Parse(meuObjetoDinamico, xDoc.Elements().First());
After that, just use the extension method I've taught you to do in this answer .
