JSON: How to parse the JSON string which contains “object”:“page”

Question

We receive JSON data from Facebook Real Time subscription. The JSON itself contains property like \"object\":\"page\" and we need to access this property.

{
   \         


        

Answer 1

Use @object:

dynamic result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonRealTimeNotification);
string objectType = result.@object.ToString();    

This is the same syntax as is used when specifying a regular verbatim identifier. From the C# Language Specification, § 2.4.2 Identifiers (C#):

The prefix "@" enables the use of keywords as identifiers, which is useful when interfacing with other programming languages. The character @ is not actually part of the identifier, so the identifier might be seen in other languages as a normal identifier, without the prefix. An identifier with an @ prefix is called a verbatim identifier.
