How to deserialize json data in windows phone?

Question

Initially my json was in the format,

\"code\": 0,
\"message\": \"success\",
\"students\": [
    {
        \"id\": \"257633000000070001\",
        \"name\": \"hje         


        

Answer 1

If you using Newtonsoft.Json, try to use that classes:

public class StudentDetails
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public int percentage { get; set; }
    public string type { get; set; }
}

public class Student
{
    public int code { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
    public List<StudentDetails> students { get; set; }
}

After that, you can use that class to Deserialize responses using following way:

var parsedResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Student>(data);

P.S. Of course, do not forget about [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes

Answer 2

first of all your Json does not seem to be valid, the surrounding brackets are missing for the object { }. To find your matching C# class there is a nice converter on this site

For your second Json with the object brackets:

"code": 0,
"message": "success",
"students": {
"details":{
    "hjeke": {
        "id": "257633000000070001",
        "name": "hjeke",
        "percentage": 36,
        "type": "Good",
    },
    "Second": {
        "id": "257633000000073001",
        "name": "Second",
        "percentage": 4,
        "type": "bad",
    }
  }
}

it suggests these classes:

public class Hjeke
{
  public string id { get; set; }
  public string name { get; set; }
  public int percentage { get; set; }
  public string type { get; set; }
}

public class Second
{
  public string id { get; set; }
  public string name { get; set; }
  public int percentage { get; set; }
  public string type { get; set; }
}

public class Details
{
  public Hjeke hjeke { get; set; }
  public Second Second { get; set; }
}

public class Students
{
  public Details details { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
  public int code { get; set; }
  public string message { get; set; }
  public Students students { get; set; }
}

You can play around with this generator tool by yourself.
