I've created the following RootObject class to map the JSON:
public class RootObject
{
public List<string> #class { get; set; }
public Properties2 properties { get; set; }
public List<Entity> entities { get; set; }
public List<object> actions { get; set; }
public List<Link> links { get; set; }
}
Previously the following code was working to deserialize the JSON into the RootObject:
var objResponse1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response2.Content);
However, my code is now throwing a JSON.net exception:
An unhandled exception of type
'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
Additional information: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object
(e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type
'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[ProcessOpenRequests.Program+RootObject]'
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.
Now, I have tried the following to deserialize the JSON string based on other StackOverflow posts in regards to this error but the error has persisted:
var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<RootObject>>(response2.Content);
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
*Updated
Here is the Entity class:
public class Entity
{
public List<string> #class { get; set; }
public string rel { get; set; }
public Properties2 properties { get; set; }
public Actions actions { get; set; }
}
And here is the Properties2 class:

You are trying to deserialize your JSON into a List<RootObject>. That requires your JSON to be an array, but your JSON is not an array, JSON arrays begin and end with [ and ].
Try desalinizing to a RootObject instead.
var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response2.Content);
So, here's what happened, the API I was receiving the JSON data from changed up the RootObject and where I was previously referencing Properties2, I needed to change that to reference Properites. I also had to change a bunch of integers to now receive null data. My original code to deserialize the RootObject (and Bruno Garcia's answer) is valid once again.

I hope someone can help me out here, because I'm pretty stuck ;)
I do not understand the error I'm getting:
Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'OdosTest.OdosRecord' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
Isn't my json respone (see in the bottom) okay?
I'm trying to deserialize my IRestResponse to a object, but with no luck. The classes should be finde, or where am I wrong?
Here is my code:
using System;
using RestSharp;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace OdosTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var client = new RestClient("https://triscan.odosolutions.com/api/v1/streams");
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic HIDDEN");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
var odosRecord = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OdosRecord>(response.Content);
//Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
}
}
public class OdosRecord
{
public int version { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public int loggerImei { get; set; }
public string vin { get; set; }
public DateTime startTime { get; set; }
public Signal[] signals { get; set; }
}
public class Signal
{
public string source { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string displayName { get; set; }
public string number { get; set; }
public string unit { get; set; }
public bool isNumericComplement { get; set; }
public Value[] values { get; set; }

Your json contains a List<OdosRecord>, so this should solve the issue:
var odosRecord = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<OdosRecord>>(response.Content);
otherwise you cloud change your json to this (if you are able to change the contract):
{
"version": 1,
"id": "0414bafa-39fe-4924-a1e3-f2180161f058",

Im trying to deserialize this json, originally the Airlines property is a IList but this doesn't work because the values are changing, so i used Dictionary i can get the key just fine but the values are empty.
This is the Sample JSON i'm trying to deserialize
"airlines": {
"MH": {
"lowcost": true,
"name": "Jetstar Asia",
"alliance_name": null,
"id": 300,
"rates": "18",
"average_rate": "3.12"
},
"PR": {
"lowcost": true,
"name": "Tigerair",
"alliance_name": null,
"id": 800,
"rates": "26",
"average_rate": "3.41"
},
"CZ": {
"lowcost": false,
"name": "Singapore Airlines",
"alliance_name": "Star Alliance",
"id": 449,
"rates": "620",
"average_rate": "4.18"
},
"SQ": {
"lowcost": true,
"name": "AirAsia Zest",
"alliance_name": null,
"id": 839,
"rates": "104",
"average_rate": "2.56"
},
"GA": {
"lowcost": true,
"name": "CEBU Pacific Air",
"alliance_name": null,
"id": 169,
"rates": "72",
"average_rate": "3.44"
},
This is the properties
[JsonProperty("airlines")]
public Dictionary<string, Airlines> Airlines { get; set; }
public class Airlines
{
[JsonProperty("AirlineDetails")]
public ICollection<AirlineDetails> AirlineDetails { get; set; }
}
public class AirlineDetails
{
[JsonProperty("average_rate")]
public string AverageRate { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("alliance_name")]
public string AllianceName { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("lowcost")]
public bool Lowcost { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("id")]
public int Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("rates")]
public string Rates { get; set; }
}
Picture below shows there is a count which is 5 exactly as the JSON object count above, but the values are empty, i also want to get the values which is the name of airline.
Empty Value:
Airlines class is not necessary. Declare your property as Dictionary<string, AirlineDetails>:
public Dictionary<string, AirlineDetails> Airlines { get; set; }
I am trying to Use JSON.NET to parse response from an API.
{

},
"purpose": {

"creator": "xxxxx",
"last_set": "xxxx"
}
}
]
}
this is the output of the api. I anonymized everything because of tokens and IDs.
JObject root = JObject.Parse(channelJSON);
foreach (JProperty prop in root["channels"].Children<JProperty>())
{
JObject Channel = (JObject)prop.Value;
ChannelList.Add(new SlackChannel(Channel["name"].ToString(), Channel["id"].ToString()));
}
This is the code I am using. The foreach loop never completes, I placed breakpoints in the loop, but only the foreach line executes, then the code stops. What am I doing wrong. I want to iterate through the json response, getting the name and ID for each channel. I got the C# code from another question, and modified it, but I'm not getting any execution of the code.
To deserialize a json with Json.Net, you can use this :
Generate a class with your Json and json2csharp :
public class Topic
{
public string value { get; set; }
public string creator { get; set; }
public string last_set { get; set; }
}
public class Purpose
{
public string value { get; set; }
public string creator { get; set; }
public string last_set { get; set; }
}
public class Channel
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string created { get; set; }
public string creator { get; set; }
public bool is_archived { get; set; }
public bool is_member { get; set; }
public int num_members { get; set; }
public bool is_general { get; set; }
public Topic topic { get; set; }
public Purpose purpose { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public bool ok { get; set; }
public List<Channel> channels { get; set; }
}
And use this line from the doc :
RootObject m = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
voila.
I am trying to deserialize the following JSON, but I really have no idea how to use JSON.net to do the work. I am using C# and JSON.Net library.
My JSON is as follows:

You don't have to declare many tiny classes to deserialize. Just make use of dynamic.
Here is a working example

Here you go.
There is a tool for generating C# classes from json http://json2csharp.com/.
First create a class that fits the JSONed object.
Then, simply write JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ClassName>(json)
Where ClassName is the name of your class and json is a string containing you JSON.
You have quite a complex data structure, so creating a class for it might be a bit complex.
You might want to maybe simplify it a little bit.
How I would tackle this....
First take your JSON and paste it into: http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ - this gives you a view like:
Now, from the objects shown in that view create a class for each type of object - e.g:
public class MainWrapper
{
public int found {get;set;}
public List<Bound> bounds {get;set;}
public List<Feature> features {get;set;}
public Crs crs {get;set;
}
Finally you can now use some Newtonsoft to deserialize as: JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MainWrapper>(text)
I am not able to get my head around extracting the work_history, affiliations and current_loc of the facebook user from the JSON string that is generated after i run my fql query
I have made this class :
public class Data
{
public CurrentLocation current_location { get; set; }
public WorkHistory[] work_history { get; set; }
public EducationHistory[] education_history { get; set; }
}
public class EducationHistory
{
public string name { get; set; }
public int? year { get; set; }
public string school_type { get; set; }
}
public class WorkHistory
{
public string company_name { get; set; }
public Location location { get; set; }
}
public class CurrentLocation
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string country { get; set; }
}
public class Location
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
The format of my JSON string is :
{"current_location":{"city":"Delhi","state":"Delhi","country":"India","zip":"","id":102161913158207,"name":"Delhi, India"}
,"education_history":[{"name":"I E T , Alwar (Raj.)","year":2007,"concentrations":[],"school_type":"College"},{"name":"Institute of Engineering and Technology, Alwar","concentrations":[],"school_type":"College"}],
"work_history": [{"location":{"city":"","state":""},"company_name":"Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO)","description":"","start_date":"0000-00","end_date":"0000-00"}]}
How do i extract this Data i get a null when i use this code :
Data soap = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(ser);
Edit : I did change the code according to what an answer suggested i still get no values
Edit 2: the solution that is provided would have worked if i had only one user however i have several users having these details how do i get this data? There are several like these values given below for different users

Please help
Instead of declaring a lot of tiny classes I would go dynamic way. Here is the code for dynamic json object. And the usage would be something like this:
dynamic obj = JsonUtils.JsonObject.GetDynamicJsonObject(jsonString);
Console.WriteLine("{0} , {1}", obj.current_location.city, obj.current_location.state);
Console.WriteLine("EDUCATION");
foreach (var eduHist in obj.education_history)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} , {1}", eduHist.name, eduHist.year);
}
Console.WriteLine("WORK");
foreach (var workHist in obj.work_history)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}-{2}", workHist.company_name, workHist.start_date, workHist.end_date);
}
You need to use correct property names that match your JSON structure:
using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public class Data
{
public CurrentLocation current_location { get; set; }
public WorkHistory[] work_history { get; set; }
public EducationHistory[] education_history { get; set; }
}
public class EducationHistory
{
public string name { get; set; }
public int? year { get; set; }
public string school_type { get; set; }
}
public class WorkHistory
{
public string company_name { get; set; }
public Location location { get; set; }
}
public class CurrentLocation
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string country { get; set; }
}
public class Location
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var json =
#"
{
""current_location"": {
""city"": ""Delhi"",
""state"": ""Delhi"",
""country"": ""India"",
""zip"": """",
""id"": 102161913158207,
""name"": ""Delhi, India""
},
""education_history"": [
{
""name"": ""I E T , Alwar (Raj.)"",
""year"": 2007,
""concentrations"": [],
""school_type"": ""College""
},
{
""name"": ""Institute of Engineering and Technology, Alwar"",
""concentrations"": [],
""school_type"": ""College""
}
],
""work_history"": [
{
""location"": {
""city"": """",
""state"": """"
},
""company_name"": ""Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO)"",
""description"": """",
""start_date"": ""0000-00"",
""end_date"": ""0000-00""
}
]
}";
Data soap = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(json);
Console.WriteLine(soap.current_location.city);
}
}
As far as the affiliations property is concerned, I don't see any relation to it with your JSON, so I simply removed it from the Data object and replaced it with the EducationHistory type.
UPDATE:
And to handle multiple nodes you could adapt your models:
public class Result
{
public Data[] data { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public CurrentLocation current_location { get; set; }
public WorkHistory[] work_history { get; set; }
public EducationHistory[] education_history { get; set; }
}
public class EducationHistory
{
public string name { get; set; }
public int? year { get; set; }
public string school_type { get; set; }
}
public class WorkHistory
{
public string company_name { get; set; }
public Location location { get; set; }
}
public class CurrentLocation
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string country { get; set; }
}
public class Location
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
and then:
Result soap = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Result>(json);
Console.WriteLine(soap.data[0].current_location.city);
Here's another example that's working for retrieving id, name, picture and friends. You must include reference to newtonsoft.json package.
