c# iterate through json

Question

Currently I am working on a soundcloud downloader in C#. With the help of the SoundCloud API I get a JSON string of a playlist, which includes a lot of information of the tracks

Answer 1

Perhaps looping over the properties using JProperty, performs better?

    string json = "{a: 10, b: 'aaaaaa', c: 1502}";

    JObject parsedJson = JObject.Parse(json);
    foreach (JProperty property in parsedJson.Properties())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Name: [{0}], Value: [{1}].", property.Name, property.Value));
    }

Answer 2

You could try using Newtonsoft JSON Deserializer.

For your case you could do something like this:

1. Create a Track class with needed properties

2. Apply DeserializeObject

   Track jsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track >(json);
   

3. Iterate over jsonObject
