Deserializing JSON and access to elements

Question

I have the following code :

dynamic stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(\"{ \'Name\': \'Jon Smith\', \'Address\': [\'A\', \'B\', \'C\'], \'Age\': 42 }\");
var          


        

Answer 1

This is a simple solution which will help you also in a lot of Projects.

{
  "Name": "Jon Smith",
  "Address": 
  [
    "A",
    "B",
    "C"
  ],
  "Age": "42"
}

You have to create a class for your items.

public class JSONClass
{
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public string[] Address { get; set; }
   public string Age { get; set; }
}

Then you have to make a List that will keep your items:

public class ItemsList
{
   public List JsonItems { get; set;}  
}

And then you can simple retrieve your Items.

ItemsList itemsList = new ItemsList();

itemsList.JsonItems = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("yourAPIResponse").JsonItems ;
