JSON deserialization is not working in Web API

JSON deserialization is not working in Web API - c#

I want to deserialize a json request but it is not working in Web API. My code is below for the deserialization. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage AddOrder(string username , string password, JObject jsonResult)
{
try
{
AuthRepository _auth = new AuthRepository();
OrderDTO.RootObject O = new OrderDTO.RootObject();
O = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OrderDTO.RootObject>(jsonResult.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Request.CreateErrorResponse(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, ex);
}
}
This is the JSON that will received by our method:
{
"token": "D8xJD2CI6PrkB3q5gnlT",
"shipment": {
"hawb": "0800780108",
"service_level": "CURBSIDE",

"zip_postal_code": "02067",
"country": "US"
},
"piece_count": "2",
"dangerous_goods": "0",

}
}
Code for class
public class OrderDTO
{
public class Origin
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string nbr { get; set; }
public string phone { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string address1 { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string zip_postal_code { get; set; }

{
public string name { get; set; }
public string nbr { get; set; }
public string phone { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string address1 { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string zip_postal_code { get; set; }
public string country { get; set; }
}
public class Shipment
{
public string hawb { get; set; }
public string service_level { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string service_level_code { get; set; }
public string delivery_date { get; set; }
public string delivery2_date { get; set; }
public Origin origin { get; set; }
public Dest dest { get; set; }
public string piece_count { get; set; }
public string dangerous_goods { get; set; }
public double weight { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string token { get; set; }
public Shipment shipment { get; set; }
}
}

You can add username and password to your OrderDTO class (or another class containing these three objects) and then change action definition like:
public HttpResponseMessage AddOrder(OrderDRO input).
Then you don't need to use json serialization and easily you can do your logic.

Deserilizing Json Response of HttpClient using ASP.NET Core

I am calling a third-party API with HttpClient GET Request and it works fine. The response is quite complex of objects. All I want to do is to extract a specific attribute within these objects. Here is the response Json

}
I'd like to extract "status": "CAPTURED" and "acquirerCode": "00" . here is what I tried
var client = new HttpClient();
string _ContentType = "application/json";
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue(_ContentType));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", base64EncodedAuthenticationString);
var _UserAgent = "d-fens HttpClient";
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", _UserAgent);
HttpResponseMessage response;
response = await client.GetAsync(api_URL);
var resContent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
var content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
return Ok(resContent);
Extracting these values would solve the issue I'm facing. Thanks in advance

if you need just this 2 values the easiest way is
var json = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var result = JObject.Parse(json);
var status= result["status"];
var acquirerCode= result["transaction"][0]["response"]["acquirerCode"];
output
CAPTURED
00
And there is a hard way
var json = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var jsonDeserialized=JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(json);
var status= jsonDeserialized.Status;
var acquirerCode=jsonDeserialized.Transaction.Select(t => t.Response.AcquirerCode).FirstOrDefault();

Json string to C# Object - Array into JsonString

I'm receiving a JSON string in C#, like this :
{
"Id": "617723",
"Acronym": "",
"FirstName": "XXXXX",
"LastName": "XXXXX",
"Groupe": {
"Code": "XXXXX",
"Traductions": {
"French": "",

}
},
"BusinessUnit": {
"Code": "XXXXX",
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": "XXXXX"
}
},
"Team": {
"Code": null,
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": null
}
},
"Title": {
"Code": null,
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": "XXXXX"
}
},
"Title2": {
"Code": null,
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": null
}
},
"JobCategory": {
"Code": "XXXXX",
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": "XXXXX"
}
},
"PhoneList": [],
"DateHired": "XXXXX",
"DateTerminated": "XXXXX",
"Gender": "XXXXX",
"ManagerId": "XXXXX",
"ManagerAcronym": "XXXXX",
"IsManager": false,
"Email": null,
"CarLicense": null,

}
},
"Country": {
"Code": "XXXXX",
"Traductions": {
"French": "XXXXXX",
"English": "XXXXX"
}
},
"State": {
"Code": "XXXXX",
"Traductions": {
"French": "XXXXX",
"English": "XXXXX"
}
},

"ProfessionalTitle": {
"Code": null,
"Traductions": {
"French": "",
"English": null
}
},
"IconEmailActif": true,
"IconSkypeActif": true
}
I want to convert it in a C# Object, so I made my Model like this :
public class UsersJson
{
public string Acronym { get; set; }
public string[] BusinessUnit { get; set; }
public string CarLicense { get; set; }
public string[] City { get; set; }
public string[] Country { get; set; }
public string DateHired { get; set; }
public string DateTerminated { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string[] Groupe { get; set; }
public string[] HomeBase { get; set; }
public string HomeBusinessUnit { get; set; }
public bool IconEmailActif { get; set; }
public bool IconSkypeActif { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
public bool IsManager { get; set; }
public string[] JobCategory { get; set; }
public string JobType { get; set; }
public string LanguageAddressBook { get; set; }
public string LanguagePrefered { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Local { get; set; }
public string Mailbox { get; set; }
public string ManagerAcronym { get; set; }
public string ManagerId { get; set; }
public string[] MyTeam { get; set; }
public string[] PhoneList { get; set; }
public string[] ProfessionalTitle { get; set; }
public string ShirtSize { get; set; }
public string[] State { get; set; }
public string[] Team { get; set; }
public string[] Title { get; set; }
public string[] Title2 { get; set; }
public string UnionCode { get; set; }
}
When I try to Deserialize it into a List<UsersJson>, I get the following error :
Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {\"name\":\"value\"}) into type 'System.String[]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object. Path '[0].Groupe.Code', line 1, position 87."
So, how should I declare the property Group if it's not a string[] ?

Use the correct classes. I followed the steps outlined here and refactored a bit:
RootObject r = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
public class Traductions
{
public string French { get; set; }
public string English { get; set; }
}
public class Groupe
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class BusinessUnit
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class Team
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class Title
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class JobCategory
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class HomeBase
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class Country
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class State
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class City
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class ProfessionalTitle
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Acronym { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public Groupe Groupe { get; set; }
public BusinessUnit BusinessUnit { get; set; }
public Team Team { get; set; }
public Title Title { get; set; }
public Title Title2 { get; set; }
public JobCategory JobCategory { get; set; }
public List<object> PhoneList { get; set; }
public string DateHired { get; set; }
public string DateTerminated { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string ManagerId { get; set; }
public string ManagerAcronym { get; set; }
public bool IsManager { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string CarLicense { get; set; }
public List<object> MyTeam { get; set; }
public HomeBase HomeBase { get; set; }
public Country Country { get; set; }
public State State { get; set; }
public City City { get; set; }
public string ShirtSize { get; set; }
public string LanguageAddressBook { get; set; }
public string LanguagePrefered { get; set; }
public string Local { get; set; }
public string Mailbox { get; set; }
public string HomeBusinessUnit { get; set; }
public string JobType { get; set; }
public string UnionCode { get; set; }
public ProfessionalTitle ProfessionalTitle { get; set; }
public bool IconEmailActif { get; set; }
public bool IconSkypeActif { get; set; }
}

You'll need another couple of classes with the Code and Traductions properties.
public class Groupe {
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class Traductions {
public string French { get; set; }
public string English { get; set; }
}
Use Groupe in place of string[] in your base class and you should be golden :)

The accepted answer works, but I feel it has a lot of code-repetition. You only need two other model classes for this to work:
public class Traductions
{
public string French { get; set; }
public string English { get; set; }
}
public class CodeTraduction
{
public string Code { get; set; }
public Traductions Traductions { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Acronym { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction Groupe { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction BusinessUnit { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction Team { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction Title { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction Title2 { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction JobCategory { get; set; }
public List<object> PhoneList { get; set; }
public string DateHired { get; set; }
public string DateTerminated { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string ManagerId { get; set; }
public string ManagerAcronym { get; set; }
public bool IsManager { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string CarLicense { get; set; }
public List<object> MyTeam { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction HomeBase { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction Country { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction State { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction City { get; set; }
public string ShirtSize { get; set; }
public string LanguageAddressBook { get; set; }
public string LanguagePrefered { get; set; }
public string Local { get; set; }
public string Mailbox { get; set; }
public string HomeBusinessUnit { get; set; }
public string JobType { get; set; }
public string UnionCode { get; set; }
public CodeTraduction ProfessionalTitle { get; set; }
public bool IconEmailActif { get; set; }
public bool IconSkypeActif { get; set; }
}
Using your example JSON, you would deserialize it like this:
var item = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
You can create separate classes if you wish, but keep a single base-class CodeTraduction, for example:
public class Groupe : CodeTraduction
{
//Add any "Groupe" specific properties here
}

For future reference, you can also use Paste Special. You copy the JSON file(Ctrl+C) and add a new class file, if you dont already have one. Then you go in to Edit(at the top left of VS) and hover your cursor over Paste Special, you will get two options, one for XML as Class or JSON as Class.
Hope it helps you and others in the future. :)

Need to grab a parent value in Linq

I'm using this code to pull a list of email addresses and search them for a specific address, if it's a duplicate then I need to pull the "id" (the value starts with "lead_") which is in the Datam class and/or Contacts
var emails = json
// Enumerate through all data
.Data
// Enumerate through all contacts of all data
.SelectMany(d => d.Contacts)
// Enumerate through all emails of all contacts
.SelectMany(c => c.Emails)
// Get email value
.Select(e => e.EmailValue)
So I have my list of emails, but how do I attach the ID's to them, I assume I need to create an anonymous type?
I've tried this but can't figure out how to go back to the root

In cases like this I find the query syntax more convenient than the fluent syntax, precisely because in nested SelectMany queries the outer items are accessible without needing to manually create intermediate anonymous types for passing values into the inner loop.
Thus:
var query = from d in json.Data
from c in d.Contacts
from e in c.Emails
select new { Email = e.EmailValue, LeadId = c.LeadId };
var emails = query.ToList();
This avoids the need to "go up" from the inner item to the outer.

}
public class Converter
{
public static readonly JsonSerializerSettings Settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{

}
My Code:
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Welcome>(html);
foreach (var j in json.Data)
{
foreach (var v in j.Contacts)
{
Console.WriteLine(v.Emails[0]);
}
}
So once I've deserialized the object I've tried using LINQ to get the email address out of the JSON using the objects, I can't navigate that far in and I'm not sure what's the best cleanest way to navigate for emails and phone numbers in the deserialized JSON.

First, for some reason you did not define a data model for your Email data:
public partial class Contact
{
// Initial properties
[JsonProperty("emails")]
public object[] Emails { get; set; }
// Additional properties.
Let's fix that with help from https://jsonutils.com/:
public partial class Contact
{
// Initial properties as before.
[JsonProperty("emails")]
public Email[] Emails { get; set; }
// Other properties as before
}
public class Email
{
[JsonProperty("email")]
public string EmailValue { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("type")]
public string Type { get; set; }
}
Now you can iterate through all email and phone values by using SelectMany to create a final list:
var emails = json
// Enumerate through all data
.Data
// Enumerate through all contacts of all data
.SelectMany(d => d.Contacts)
// Enumerate through all emails of all contacts
.SelectMany(c => c.Emails)
// Get email value
.Select(e => e.EmailValue)
// Materialize as a list.
.ToList();
And
var phones = json
// Enumerate through all data
.Data
// Enumerate through all contacts of all data
.SelectMany(d => d.Contacts)
// Enumerate through all phones of all contacts
.SelectMany(c => c.Phones)
// Get phone number. But why ever did you choose to call it PurplePhone!?
.Select(p => p.PurplePhone)
// Materialize as a list.
.ToList();
Then, if you do:
Console.WriteLine("Emails: {0}", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(emails));
Console.WriteLine("Phones: {0}", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(phones));
The result is
Emails: ["testemail#testemail.com"]
Phones: ["+15558675309"]

Json DeserializeObject return null - what i am doing wrong?

Here is the call to DeserializeObject:
listrootobject obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<listrootobject>(json);
Here is Json .

Use http://json2csharp.com/ to generate and write your C# classes as the generated classes from the website. Lastly you parse the rootObject as below.
But you have a problem because the property names it generates are invalid in C# and you cannot create a C# class with those names. But the names must match to de-serialize. So you need to remove the invalid characters or re-name them to meet the C# CLR naming requirements.Then create a C# class of the properly formatted string. After which you can de-serialized.
For instance I generated C# object from the original string and I had a property name as
public SoMemberProfileDataSet __invalid_name__so:MemberProfileDataSet { get; set; }
This is invalid in C# but you would need to format this in the string to something valid e.g.
public SoMemberProfileDataSet MemberProfileDataSet { get; set; }
by renaming the json string or getting the properties you want from the string and re-constructing the json properly before de serializing.
Show me the code
As an example, I have combined strings between colons and removed the # symbol so that I created a valid C# object. And it de-seralizes. Please see changes in the json string below. So please format your json string and you will have it.
string json = "{\"soMemberProfileDataSet\": {\"xmlnsmoso\": \"http://schema.socloud.com/1/MemberProfileDataSet.xsd\",\"Member\": {\"xmlns\": \"http://schema.socloud.com/1/MemberProfileDataSet.xsd\",\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"PartyTypeName\": \"Employee\",\"RoleId\": \"1310\",\"BusinessUnitCode\": \"95\",\"CardId\": null,\"PostalContact\": {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"TypeName\": \"Mailing Address\",\"Address1\": \"100 Main Ave\",\"Address2\": null,\"Address3\": null,\"City\": \"Arlington\",\"State\": \"VA\",\"PostalCode\": \"22206\"},\"PhoneContact\": [{\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"TypeName\": \"Cell\",\"CountryCode\": \"1\",\"Telephone\": \"(555) 555-5555\",\"AdditionalData\": null,\"TextMessageOK\": \"false\"}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"TypeName\": \"Home\",\"CountryCode\": \"1\",\"Telephone\": null,\"AdditionalData\": null,\"TextMessageOK\": \"false\"}],\"Property\": [{\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"First Name\",\"Value\": \"Katie\"}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Last Name\",\"Value\": \"Rodriguez\"}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Payroll ID\",\"Value\": null}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Lookup Initials\",\"Value\": null}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Date of Birth\",\"Value\": null}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Hire Date\",\"Value\": null}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Termination Date\",\"Value\": null}, {\"PartyId\": \"63\",\"Name\": \"Gender\",\"Value\": null}]}}}";
var listrootobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
Your class should now look like as below, no more invalid property names after formatting
public class PostalContact
{
public string PartyId { get; set; }
public string TypeName { get; set; }
public string Address1 { get; set; }
public object Address2 { get; set; }
public object Address3 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
}
public class PhoneContact
{
public string PartyId { get; set; }
public string TypeName { get; set; }
public string CountryCode { get; set; }
public string Telephone { get; set; }
public object AdditionalData { get; set; }
public string TextMessageOK { get; set; }
}
public class Property
{
public string PartyId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
public class Member
{
public string xmlns { get; set; }
public string PartyId { get; set; }
public string PartyTypeName { get; set; }
public string RoleId { get; set; }
public string BusinessUnitCode { get; set; }
public object CardId { get; set; }
public PostalContact PostalContact { get; set; }
public List<PhoneContact> PhoneContact { get; set; }
public List<Property> Property { get; set; }
}
public class SoMemberProfileDataSet
{
public string xmlnsmoso { get; set; }
public Member Member { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public SoMemberProfileDataSet soMemberProfileDataSet { get; set; }
}

Develop Reference

C# (C-Sharp) is a programming language developed by Microsoft that runs on the .NET Framework.

JSON deserialization is not working in Web API - c#

You can add username and password to your OrderDTO class (or another class containing these three objects) and then change action definition like: public HttpResponseMessage AddOrder(OrderDRO input). Then you don't need to use json serialization and easily you can do your logic.
