Deserialize JSON to Nested Model

I have a model like below:
public class YourInformationInputModel
{
public YourInformationInputModel()
{
PrimaryBuyerInformation = new PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel();
}
public PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel PrimaryBuyerInformation { get; set; }
public bool TermsCondition { get; set; }
}
PrimaryBuyerInputModel like below:
public class PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel
{
[Required]
public string BuyerFirstName { get; set; }
public string BuyerMiddleInitial { get; set; }
[Required]
public string BuyerLastName { get; set; }
}
and when I am submitting my form then I am getting JSON like below:
{
"PrimaryBuyerInformation.BuyerFirstName": "Sunil",
"PrimaryBuyerInformation.BuyerMiddleInitial": "",
"PrimaryBuyerInformation.BuyerLastName": "Choudhary",
"TermsCondition": "true"
}
When I am trying to deserialize this json the TermsCondition property successfully done, but the property of PrimaryBuyerInformation is not mapped.
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourInformationInputModel>(json);
Any idea how to do that ?

Kindly take a cue from the code below, i tested it and you should be able to get your value as request. This solves the issue of you trying to access the property you have mapped in a dot property name format.
Instead your object should be nested in a curly brace showing that the other property belongs to PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel which is another object entirely.
Best Regards,
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var json = #"{'PrimaryBuyerInformation': {'buyerFirstName': 'Sunil','buyerMiddleInitial': '','buyerLastName': 'Choudhary'},'termsCondition': false}";
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourInformationInputModel>(json);
Console.WriteLine(obj.PrimaryBuyerInformation.BuyerFirstName);
}
}
public class YourInformationInputModel
{
public YourInformationInputModel()
{
PrimaryBuyerInformation = new PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel();
}
public PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel PrimaryBuyerInformation { get; set; }
public bool TermsCondition { get; set; }
}
public class PrimaryBuyerInformationInputModel
{
public string BuyerFirstName { get; set; }
public string BuyerMiddleInitial { get; set; }
public string BuyerLastName { get; set; }
}

Map JSON object to C# class property array

JSON
{
"SoftHoldIDs": 444,
"AppliedUsages": [
{
"SoftHoldID": 444,
"UsageYearID": 223232,
"DaysApplied": 0,
"PointsApplied": 1
}
],
"Guests": [
1,
2
]
}
In the above JSON SoftholdIDs is integer and AppliedUsages is class array property in C# Model
Issue is --How we can map JSON to class property.
Class code
public class ReservationDraftRequestDto
{
public int SoftHoldIDs { get; set; }
public int[] Guests { get; set; }
public AppliedUsage[] AppliedUsages { get; set; }
}
public class AppliedUsage
{
public int SoftHoldID { get; set; }
public int UsageYearID { get; set; }
public int DaysApplied { get; set; }
public int PointsApplied { get; set; }
}
Tried below code for mapping
ReservationDraftRequestDto reservationDto = null;
dynamic data = await reservationDraftRequestDto.Content.ReadAsAsync<object>();
reservationDto = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ReservationDraftRequestDto>(data.ToString());

You need to change
dynamic data = await reservationDraftRequestDto.Content.ReadAsAsync<object>();
to
string data = await reservationDraftRequestDto.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
this will read your response as string
then do
reservationDto = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ReservationDraftRequestDto>(data);

this work
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ConsoleApp2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string json = #"{""SoftHoldIDs"": 444,""AppliedUsages"": [ {""SoftHoldID"": 444,""UsageYearID"": 223232,""DaysApplied"": 0,""PointsApplied"": 1}],""Guests"": [ 1, 2]}";
Rootobject reservationDto = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Rootobject>(json.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine(reservationDto.SoftHoldIDs);
foreach (var guest in reservationDto.Guests)
{
Debug.WriteLine(guest);
}
}
}
public class Rootobject
{
public int SoftHoldIDs { get; set; }
public Appliedusage[] AppliedUsages { get; set; }
public int[] Guests { get; set; }
}
public class Appliedusage
{
public int SoftHoldID { get; set; }
public int UsageYearID { get; set; }
public int DaysApplied { get; set; }
public int PointsApplied { get; set; }
}
}
First create class copying json as classwith visualstudio.
Next you have double quote in json respons so deal with it.

Nested JSON parsing in C#

Hi I have a simple nested json and am trying to parse it with Javascriptserializer(). I created a class with properties and one more class for another nested data. But am not able to access full properties
I have tried the below code
This works well and below is my class where am saving this content
when i do

Please try below code.
I have tried with Newtonsoft.Json
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var jsonData ="{\"Command\":\"te\",\"Data\":{\"Image\":\"/6D/ogARAP8\",\"Imagetype\":\"FLS\",\"Imageformat\":\"bmp\",\"MissingFingers\":[\"FLIF\",\"FLMF\"]}}";
var jsonRootObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonData);
Console.WriteLine(jsonRootObject.Data.MissingFingers[0]);
Console.WriteLine(jsonRootObject.Data.Imagetype);
Console.WriteLine(jsonRootObject.Data.Image);
}
public class Data
{
public string Image { get; set; }
public string Imagetype { get; set; }
public string Imageformat { get; set; }
public List<string> MissingFingers { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string Command { get; set; }
public Data Data { get; set; }
}
}
Like demo here

Create a custom XML serializer in c# to help the xml doc get converted to object

I have a xml format in following format mentioned below:-
<JobRunnerPluginStaus PluginName="JobRun">
<JobstepStatus>
<JobStatus StepNumber="1" StepStatus="Done"/>
<JobStatus StepNumber="2" StepStatus="Started" />
</JobstepStatus>
</JobRunnerPluginStaus>
I want to get it converted to following class object using Generics and Reflection.
I want to convert the attributes to simple type(PluginName) and the nested property to a list object(JobstepStatus).
public class JobRunnerPluginStaus
{
public List<JobStatus> JobstepStatus { get; set; }
public string PluginName { get; set; }
}
public class JobStatus
{
public int StepNumber { get; set; }
public string StepStatus { get; set; }
}

I mostly use sites like: https://xmltocsharp.azurewebsites.net/
to do the dirty work for me.
Below is how your class hierarchy would look like:
[XmlRoot(ElementName="JobStatus")]
public class JobStatus {
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="StepNumber")]
public string StepNumber { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="StepStatus")]
public string StepStatus { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName="JobstepStatus")]
public class JobstepStatus {
[XmlElement(ElementName="JobStatus")]
public List<JobStatus> JobStatus { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName="JobRunnerPluginStaus")]
public class JobRunnerPluginStaus {
[XmlElement(ElementName="JobstepStatus")]
public JobstepStatus JobstepStatus { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="PluginName")]
public string PluginName { get; set; }
}

Sorting Json data

I hate some trouble sorting the data I recieve from a webresponse.
Right now they come in "random", and I haven't been able to sort it at all.
Right now the partial class looks like this:
namespace computers{
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using J = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonPropertyAttribute;
public partial class GettingStarted
{
[J("devices")] public Device[] Devices { get; set; }
}
public partial class Device
{
[J("device_id")] public string DeviceId { get; set; }
[J("assigned_to")] public bool AssignedTo { get; set; }
[J("alias")] public string Alias { get; set; }
[J("description")] public string Description { get; set; }
[J("last_seen")] public string LastSeen { get; set; }
[J("remotecontrol_id")] public string RemotecontrolId { get; set; }
[J("groupid")] public string Groupid { get; set; }
[J("online_state")] public string OnlineState { get; set; }
[J("supported_features")] public string SupportedFeatures { get; set; }
}
public partial class GettingStarted
{
public static GettingStarted FromJson(string json) => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GettingStarted>(json, Converter.Settings);
}
public static class Serialize
{
public static string ToJson(this GettingStarted self) => JsonConvert.SerializeObject(self, Converter.Settings);
}
public class Converter
{
public static readonly JsonSerializerSettings Settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
MetadataPropertyHandling = MetadataPropertyHandling.Ignore,
DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None,
};
}
As said before, the data comes in random and all my attempts at sorting them result in either a crash or does nothing.
Thanks in advance!

You can use lambda expressions to achieve this
Add using System.Linq directive
After you pupulate your 'Devices' array, use this to sort it:
Devices = Devices.OrderBy(x=>x.Alias).ToArray()
