As I didnt want all the feilds, i serialised it then used ".jsonFriendlyItemName",".itemId".. to only get the values I was looking for

Get Json Array Size

I have Two Json returned from Web API which contain dynamic size array "contacts" and "amenities".
Normally I will access the fixed size array "results" in Json with the following code as I am the on fix the size.
string json = _obj.GetJsonResult(url);
Hotel hotel = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Hotel>(json);
hotelName = hotel.results[0].property_name;
I have tried the following Link and following code to get the dynamic array size back but it don't seem to be working.
var jObject = JObject.Parse(json);
JArray jArray = (JArray)jObject["hotel.results[0].contacts"];
int length = jArray.Count;

Thanks for every members here who helped.

Since you are already deserializing your JSON, all you should have to do is call hotel.results[0].contacts.Count.
This will return an integer representing the amount of items in the contacts list.
If contacts is of the array datatype, you will need to use length instead of count.

Selenium - json - c#

var pre1 = driver.FindElementByTagName("pre").Text.Replace(#"\", "").Trim();
dynamic root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(pre1);
I have this JSON response:

Please help ,

I'm using Newtonsoft 8.0.2 and I was able to get what you are asking with this.
string input = File.ReadAllText("C:\\Public\\input.json");
dynamic collection = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(input);
foreach (var dataItem in collection.data)
{
dynamic comments = dataItem.comments;
foreach (dynamic comment in comments.data)
{
string text = comment.text;
}
}
What you were missing was that you did not iterate through each comment object under your item.

How to count number of JSON elements in an array in C#

I'm worinkg with instagram API and when I'm receiving recent media with any hashtag by this template:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{hashtag}/media/recent
I'm receiving data like this:
{
"pagination": {
"next_max_tag_id": "any_number",
"deprecation_warning": "next_max_id and min_id are deprecated for this endpoint; use min_tag_id and max_tag_id instead",
"next_max_id": "any_number",
"next_min_id": "any_number",
"min_tag_id": "any_number",
"next_url": "https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{hashtag}/media/recent?access_token={my_personal_access-token}"
},
"meta": {
"code": 200
},
"data": [
{
"attribution": null,
"tags": [
"any_tag",
"any_tag1",
"any_tag2",
"any_tag3"
],
"type": "image",
"location": null,
"comments": {
"count": 0,
"data": []
},
"filter": "Normal",
"created_time": "any_number",
"link": "any_url",
"likes": {
"count": 0,
"data": []
},
"images": {
"low_resolution": {
"url": "any_url",
"width": 320,
"height": 320
},
"thumbnail": {
"url": "any_url",
"width": 150,
"height": 150
},
"standard_resolution": {
"url": "any_url",
"width": 640,
"height": 640
}
},
"users_in_photo": [],
"caption": {
"created_time": "any_number",
"text": "any_content",
"from": {
"username": "any_username",
"profile_picture": "any_url",
"id": "any_number",
"full_name": "any_full_name"
},
"id": "any_number"
},
"user_has_liked": false,
"id": "any_number",
"user": {
"username": "any_username",
"profile_picture": "any_url",
"id": "any_number",
"full_name": "any_full_name"
}
},
and so on.
As You can see, object "data" is an Array, and further we can see object "tags", which is also array. how can I check number elements array of array in C#? i tried like this:
JArray items = (JArray)jsonData["data[0].tags"];
int length = items.Count;
but it doesn't work. I parse JSON like this:
dynamic jsonData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(JSON_string);

var token = JToken.Parse(str);
var data = token.Value<JArray>("data");
var tags = data[0].Value<JArray>("tags");
var count = tags.Count;
You can also use a JsonPath:
var token = JToken.Parse(str);
var count = token.SelectTokens("$.data[0].tags[*]").Count();
