Got stuck at deserializing a JSON web response - c#

I have some problems deserializing the following JSON string. On all of my other responses it works really good but not for this one. I tried so many different things and I checked the Stream class about 100 times. I also have used a generated class from json2csharp but all my deserialized Data is NULL.
My code to get the response:
public Stream getStream(string userID)
{
var request = GetRequest("streams/{channelID}", Method.GET);
request.AddUrlSegment("channelID", userID);
var response = restClient.Execute<Stream>(request);
return response.Data;
}
response.Content shows me as example something like that:
{
"stream":
{
"_id":25649270464,
"game":"test",
"broadcast_platform":"other",
"community_id":"xxxxxxxxx",
"community_ids":["xxxxxx"],
"viewers":2421,
"video_height":1080,
"average_fps":61.7876424715,
"delay":0,
"created_at":"2017-07-02T10:01:28Z",
"is_playlist":false,
"stream_type":"live",
"preview":
{

},
"channel":
{

"status":"Test"
,"broadcaster_language":"de",
"display_name":"LOSTAIMING",
"game":"test",
"language":"en",
"_id":44281267,
"name":"lostaiming",
"created_at":"2013-06-02T16:42:19.329009Z",
"updated_at":"2017-07-02T13:05:11.555285Z",
"partner":true,
"logo":"https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/lostaiming-profile_image-e9d7ea0893748d6a-300x300.png",

"views":2292173,
"followers":55672,
"broadcaster_type":"",

}
}
}

1) use JSON Utils (https://jsonutils.com/) to generate your C# classes (for attributes select JsonProperty)
2) Newtonsoft.Json is pretty much the standard best library to work with JSON formats in .NET, you can get it from nuget.
3) The code should look something like this, and deserialization should work without any problems:
class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
var myObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonDef>(json);
Console.Read();
}
}
public class Preview

[JsonProperty("small")]

[JsonProperty("video_banner")]

[JsonProperty("profile_banner")]

}
public class JsonDef

}

It's because of the DateTime format of the JSON. It is not in a well-formed .Net DateTime. so you can get it as a string and then convert it the way you want or change its format into a readable .Net one.

Crestron Deserialize in C# and send array to Simpl+

Trying best how to take the following classes and deserialize a Json file to return each class values back to Simpl+. I am able to receive the Total value but anything in a list I am at a lost.
public class Client
{
public string clientId { get; set; }
public string locale { get; set; }
public string location { get; set; }
public string auxiliaryId { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }

public Hardware hardware { get; set; }

public class Root

I was able to resolve this by adding the following to the foreach statement:
args.MyIndex = (ushort)(rootObject.TriplePlayResult.clients.IndexOf(item) + 1);

Deserialized Json object value is null

I'm not able to get the value from OneDay.price_change. The HTTP response is OK and I'm getting the following:

Problem is that your property name in json (1d) and property name in c# model (OneDay) is not matching.
Use the below if you are using System.Text.Json (.Net Core 3.0 and newer)
[JsonPropertyName("1d")]
public OneDay OneDay { get; set; }
Use the below if you are using Newtonsoft (Before .Net Core 3.0)
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "1d")]
public OneDay OneDay { get; set; }
Your " public OneHour OneHour { get; set; } " and " public OneDay OneDay { get; set; } " properties should be bind to [JsonProperty("1h")] and [JsonProperty("1d")]

Error with deserializing complex Json

I deserialize complex JSON (Spotify Playlist) and get root level values but I cannot get branches values. I Google problem, try different options without success but, I assume its silly mistake or lack of knowledge so therefore just ask for help what I am missing?
My classes are:
public class Playlist
{
public string collaborative { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
//public <ExternalUrls> external_urls { get; set; } //object
//public List<Followers> followers { get; set; } //object
public string href { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
//public List<Image> images { get; set; } //array
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class Tracks
{
public string href { get; set; }
public Item items { get; set; } //object
public string limit { get; set; }
public string next { get; set; }
public string offset { get; set; }
public string previous { get; set; }
public string total { get; set; }
}
And code to deserialize looks like that:
StreamReader responseFromServer = new StreamReader(myWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
var dataResponse = responseFromServer.ReadToEnd();
responseFromServer.Close();
var elements = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Playlist>(dataResponse);
RootBuffer.AddRow();
RootBuffer.collaborative = elements.collaborative.ToString();
foreach (Tracks trs in elements.tracks)
{
TracksBuffer.AddRow();
TracksBuffer.href = trs.href.ToString()
}
I genereated the classes using this excellent site: json2csharp.com
And used your existing deserialization code successfully with the following classes. It populated all the data including the child collections (brace yourself, it's a long one):
public class Playlist

string str = TwitterAPI(Request.QueryString["screen_name"].ToString(), "10");
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<RootObject>>(str);
Where TwitterAPI() will return the response from following Twitter API:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json
Below is the detailed error:
I just found an answer.
The issue was with the limitations of Twitter API as the documentation says:
"When an application exceeds the rate limit for a given API endpoint, the Twitter API will now return an HTTP 429 error"
and I was exceeding the limit so it was giving an exception (429) Too Many Requests.
If you hit the rate limit on a given endpoint, this is the body of the HTTP 429 message that you will see:
{
"errors": [
{
"code": 88,
"message": "Rate limit exceeded"
}
]
}
So it was returning only an error message in JSON format and it was passing it to Deserialize function which in turn giving that error.
Thanks all for your suggestions.

Could not cast or convert from {null} to system.Int32 in JSON response C#

I'm getting the following exception when using this bit of code to deserialize a JSON response from CrunchBase. The weird thing is it only happens to certain pages that are being deserialized even though both the results that work fine and the ones that don't both have empty [], empty"", and null values in key:value pairs. How can I cast or correct my mistake?
Exception gets thrown here:
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
RootObject ro = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response);
The inner exception is:
InnerException:
Message=Could not cast or convert from {null} to System.Int32.
Source=Newtonsoft.Json
Thanks for your eyes in advance!
Update:
as asked for the structure of the root object and the additional objects on that JSON endpoint. These were generated by http://json2csharp.com/ after putting the URL of the JSON endpoint into it.
The JSON is long so here are two example links: this one works without error http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/company/kiip.js , while this other (and others) throws the exception http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/company/tata-communications.js

Json.NET supports JSON Schema. You could create a schema with all the required properties marked and validate incoming JSON against it before deserializing. In this you can check if value is null you can make change it to some default value.
Hope this works for you.
