Deserialize JSON subdocument

Question

I\'m calling the JIRA Rest API to recieve a list of Worklog Objects.

The JSON I recieve looks like.

{
\"startAt\": 0,
\"maxResults\": 1,
\"total\": 1,
\         


        

Answer 1

Either create a "RootObject" class that does contain the properties:

public class RootObject 
{
    public int startAt { get; set; }
    public int maxResults { get; set; }
    public int total { get; set; }
    public List worklogs { get; set; }
}

And deserialize into that:

var rootObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
// access rootObject.worklogs

Or step into the parsed JSON and deserialize from there:

JObject o = JObject.Parse(json);
JToken worklogsJson = o.SelectToken("worklogs");
var worklogs = worklogsJson.ToObject>();
