Json.Net Resolving Property Names Properly

Question

I am getting some data that looks like below JSON from an API

{
    body_html: \"
Test
\",
    id: \"cu1bpkz\",
    link_id: \"d3_3kkgis\",
           


        

Answer 1

You can try this. you can use JsonPropertyAttribute to tell Json.Net what the property's corresponding json field is.

public class Comment
{
    [JsonProperty("author_flair_text")]
    public string AuthorFlairText { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("author_flair_css_class")]
    public string AuthorFlairCssClass { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("author")]
    public string Author { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("link_id")]
    public string LinkId { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("id")]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("body_html")]
    public string BodyHtml { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("url")]
    public string Url { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("subreddit_id")]
    public string SubredditId { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("subreddit")]
    public string Subreddit { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("created_utc")]
    public long CreatedUtc { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("body")]
    public string Body { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("parent_id")]
    public string ParentId { get; set; }
}

Everything else has been taken care only URL is the property which I cannot find in the JSON. Please have a look else the code is ready to get copy paste and run.

you could store an object of type JsonModel and in your model's constructor initialize it using JsonConvert.DeserializeObject. Your public properties could then just call into that JsonModel instance and get the appropriate values.
