Query JSON using LINQ

Question

I have a Json response that I receive from an API call. It has several nested levels as show below (this is a snippet):

\"Items\": [
  {
    \"Result\": {
               


        

Answer 1

To start off, I'm not familiar with writing LINQ/LAMBDA using this format ["some"]["thing"]. My first step would be to create some classes/objects to house the data in to ease creating any code afterwards.

e.g.

public class Result
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; } 
    public string Name { get; set; },
    public DateTime StartDate  { get; set; }
    //you get the idea
}

But possibly try the following?

    var result = from p in data["Data"]["Items"].Children()
                 where (bool)p["Result"]["ServiceAgreement"]["AdditionalItems"]["ScheduleBased"] == true
                    && (p["Result"]["ServiceAgreement"]["AdditionalItems"]["PayCycle"]).Where(o => o.["ScheduleBased"] == true)
                 select new
                 {
                     Name = (string)p["Result"]["Client"]["Name"],
                     Id = (string)p["Result"]["Client"]["Id"]
                 };
