JSON C# DeserializeObject Error with Newtonsoft.Json

JSON C# DeserializeObject Error with Newtonsoft.Json - c#

I have a JSON string that I am getting from the BaseCamp API. I know for a fact that the JSON is valid, however, I am not able to DeserializeObject using Newtonsoft.Json.
I get an error saying:
Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g.[1,2,3]) into type BaseCamp.Code.Projects+RootObject because the type requires a JSON objet (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
The JSON (Unformated What is returned from the API Minus the URL's Values)

My C# class:
public class Projects
{
public class RootObject
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public bool archived { get; set; }
public bool is_client_project { get; set; }
public string created_at { get; set; }
public string updated_at { get; set; }
public bool trashed { get; set; }
public string color { get; set; }
public bool draft { get; set; }
public bool template { get; set; }
public string last_event_at { get; set; }
public bool starred { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public string app_url { get; set; }
}
}
I am assuming something is wrong with the way my class is set up, but I can't see it.

You need to convert to an array of RootObject:
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Projects.RootObject[]>(response);
or list (or any other collection you want for that matter)...
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Projects.RootObject>>(response);

JSON invalid format

I'm trying to deserialize the JSON from the weather API, I have created C# classes but I can't seem to get it working. Most sites display this JSON as invalid format, so I'm not really sure whats wrong with it. Here is the JSON string and my class for Deserializing.Visual studio displays it like any other regular JSON.

Your JSON is not valid.
The main thing is that you are using brackets [] where you should be using braces {}.
In JSON [] is an array, while {} is an object. There are a couple of places where you need to have an array (e.g. list) so you can't simply do a find-replace to fix this.
An easy way to resolve this in the future is to create an instance of your WeatherInfo class, populate it with data, and then serialize it to JSON. You can then compare that with the JSON you have (using a diff tool like KDiff or WinMerge) to identify where your source JSON is different from your generated JSON.

A valid JSON always starts with a [ or a { and ends with the same, where square bracket [ represents an array and curly bracket { represents an object.
Looking at your C# class, your JSON lacks the curly brace to start with for objects and is also missing names for the arrays like allinfos.
You should start building your JSON like this:
var json = JToken.Parse
("{\"cod\":\"200\",\"message\":0,\"cnt\":40,\"list\":{\"allinfos\":[{\"dt\":1574175600, \"main\":{\"temp\":284.79,\"temp_min\":282.63,\"temp_max\":284.79,\"pressure\":1021,\"sea_level\":1021,\"grnd_level\":958,\"humidity\":88,\"temp_kf\":2.16}}]}}").ToString(Formatting.Indented);
This will give a formatted, easy to read output like this:
{
"cod": "200",
"message": 0,
"cnt": 40,
"list": {
"allinfos": [
{
"dt": 1574175600,
"main": {
"temp": 284.79,
"temp_min": 282.63,
"temp_max": 284.79,
"pressure": 1021,
"sea_level": 1021,
"grnd_level": 958,
"humidity": 88,
"temp_kf": 2.16
}
}
]
}
}

Update: The JSON was actually valid, the problem is that I was trying to work with debugging version of the string. The debugger automatically adds escape characters and "" quotes. Also some of the classes I had didn't follow up the JSON format correctly, so that error stopped me from seeing the real issue here.

How to fix Error while converting Json string to Object C#?

Im using C# to get a file from my local pc data folder.
This is the code to do that:
var _rootpath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) + directory;
var ENC = new Encryption();
var s = File.ReadAllText(_rootpath + "json");
var x = ENC.RijndaelDecrypt(s, App.EncryptionPassword);
This works fine so far.
x got now this value (so this is the string I want to convert to an object) :
{
"items":[
{
"id":194,
"guid":"594394",
"name":"Test",
"connectorId":248,
"customerId":1,
"customerName":"company",
"connectorTypeId":10,
"connectorTypeIcon":null,
"connectorCategoryId":1,
"vendor":"FasterForward",
"isActive":true,
"shopId":null,
"sku":null,
"workerBearerToken":"",
"workerUri":"http://localhost:9000"
}
],
"responseStatus":null
}
After this I want to convert this to an object
var _response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CrmJobListResponse>(x);
This line gives an error:
{"Error converting value x to type 'ServiceModel.CrmJobListResponse'. Path '', line 1, position 991."}
ServiceModel.CrmJobListResponse:
namespace ServiceModel
{
public class CrmJobListResponse : ResponseBase
{
public CrmJobListResponse();
public List<CrmJob> Items { get; set; }
}
}
CrmJob class:
namespace ServiceModel.DTO
{
public class CrmJob : IHasId<int>
{
public CrmJob();
[Ignore]
public string WorkerBearerToken { get; set; }
[PropertyValue("sku")]
public string SKU { get; set; }
[PropertyValue("shop_id")]
public string ShopId { get; set; }
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
public string Vendor { get; set; }
public int ConnectorCategoryId { get; set; }
[Ignore]
public string WorkerRefreshToken { get; set; }
public string ConnectorTypeIcon { get; set; }
public string CustomerName { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public int ConnectorId { get; set; }
[PropertyValue("jobname")]
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Guid { get; set; }
public int Id { get; set; }
public int ConnectorTypeId { get; set; }
[Ignore]
public string WorkerUri { get; set; }
}
}
Does anyone know why it can't convert my Json string to an object?
I didn't made the code myself, but I don't see why It should go wrong...

If you have a hard time creating DTOs you have some tools that may assist you https://app.quicktype.io/
You can also use paste special in VS to paste a Json directy to a C# class.
This also shows you if you malformed a Json.

nested json deserialization - need another set of eyes

I have been trying to get this json to deserialize for two days now using RestSharp. I have gone through the RestSharp github site, looked at countless examples, and spent much time here on Stack Overflow to try and find the answer to no avail. My code had previously worked perfectly but the vendor changed their API version and I was forced to do an update to keep using the application for my legal practice. My json is as follows(client info has been removed and replaced with generic info):
{
"data":[
{
"id":1035117666,
"client":
{
"id":905422394,
"name":"client1"
},
"display_number":"11-00012",
"description":"General",
"practice_area":
{
"id":4269978,
"name":"Business"
},
"status":"Open",
"open_date":"2011-12-14",
"close_date":null,
"billing_method":"hourly"
},
{
"id":1035117768,
"client":
{
"id":905422506,
"name":"client2"
},
"display_number":"12-00037",
"description":"HOA",
"practice_area":
{
"id":4269978,
"name":"Business"
},
"status":"Open",
"open_date":"2012-08-07",
"close_date":null,
"billing_method":"hourly"
}
],
"meta":
{
"paging":
{
"next":"https://app.goclio.com/api/v4/matters.json?fields=id%2C+client%7Bid%2C+name%7D%2C+display_number%2C+description%2C+practice_area%7Bid%2C+name%7D%2C+status%2C+open_date%2C+close_date%2C+billing_method&limit=2&page_token=BAh7BjoLb2Zmc2V0aQc%3D--b1ea3eba20c8acefbcdfc7868debd1e0ee630c64&status=Open"
},
"records":91
}
}
I built the following schema within my c# code:
public class MatterList
{
public List<Matter> matters { get; set; }
public Meta meta { get; set; }
}
public class Meta
{
public Paging paging { get; set; }
public int records { get; set; }
}
public class Paging
{
public string previous { get; set; }
public string next { get; set; }
}
[DeserializeAs(Name = "data")]
public class Matter
{
public int id { get; set; }
public Client client { get; set; }
public string display_number { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public PracticeArea practice_area { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public DateTime open_date { get; set; }
public DateTime close_date { get; set; }
public string billing_method { get; set; }
public string type = "matter";
}
public class PracticeArea
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class Client
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
When I run the RestSharp deserialize method I am sending the result to an object of type MatterList using the following line of code
MatterList matterList = jsonHandler.Deserialize<MatterList>(response);
I have so far attempted to deserialize without the Meta or Paging POCO classes with the accompanying change to the MatterList class (taking out the Meta property).
I have tried with and without the [DeserializeAs(Name="data")] directive.
I have tried to set the RootElement of the json response prior to deserialization.
I have tried to shorthand the deserialization by combining it with the Execute request code
IRestResponse<MatterList> matterList = client.Execute<MatterList>(request);
I have created a container class called MatterContainer which I placed between MatterList and Matter classes in the schema:
public class MatterList
{
public List<MatterContainer> matters { get; set; }
}
public class MatterContainer
{
public Matter matter { get; set; }
}
public class Matter
{
public int id { get; set; }
public Client client { get; set; }
public string display_number { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public PracticeArea practice_area { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public DateTime open_date { get; set; }
public DateTime close_date { get; set; }
public string billing_method { get; set; }
public string type = "matter";
}
I know I am getting the json response back from the server correctly so my request is proper and MatterList is not null after deserialization. The problem is that I cannot get the deserialization to actually populate the List matters within the MatterList class.
I have been looking at this off and on for two days and cannot get past this hurdle. If anyone sees what I did wrong I would greatly appreciate the insight, I am at a point where I cannot progress further with my application.
Thanks!

I think your [DeserializeAs(Name = "data")] attribute is in the wrong place. Try putting it in the root class instead:
public class MatterList
{
[DeserializeAs(Name = "data")]
public List<Matter> matters { get; set; }
public Meta meta { get; set; }
}
alternatively, try renameing that property to data

Converting JSON to Object fails - Cannot deserialize the current JSON object into System.Collections.Generic.List

I'm using the API of www.textlocal.in, which returns a JSON formatted object.
JSON
{
"warnings":[
{
"message":"Number is in DND",
"numbers":"917000000000"
}
],
"balance":900,
"batch_id":311110011,
"cost":1,
"num_messages":1,
"message":{
"num_parts":1,
"sender":"TXTLCL",
"content":"Test1"
},
"receipt_url":"",
"custom":"",
"inDND":[
"917000000000"
],
"messages":[
{
"id":"1350123781",
"recipient":918819437284
}
],
"status":"success"
}
My code with which I'm trying to parse the JSON:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<jsonToObj[]>>(richTextBox1.Text);
}
public class jsonToObj
{
public warnings[] warnings { get; set; }
public int balance { get; set; }
public int batch_id { get; set; }
public int cost { get; set; }
public int num_messages { get; set; }
public message message { get; set; }
public string receipt_url { get; set; }
public string custom { get; set; }
public messages[] messages { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
}
public class warnings
{
public string message { get; set; }
public string numbers { get; set; }
}
public class messages
{
public string id { get; set; }
public int recipient { get; set; }
}
public class message
{
public int num_part { get; set; }
public string sender { get; set; }
public string content { get; set; }
}
I'm getting an exception with the following message:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the
current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type
'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[WindowsFormsApp1.Form2+jsonToObj[]]'
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 'warnings', line 1, position
12.'

First of all you have to figure out what your API returns.
Right now you're trying to parse a List of jsonToObj Arrays (List<jsonToObj[]>). You have to decide whether to use a jsonToObj[] or List<jsonToObj> or a simple jsonToObj which your API provides now:
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonToObj>(richTextBox1.Text);
But this then throws:
JSON integer 918819437284 is too large or small for an Int32. Path 'messages[0].recipient', line 25, position 33."
So make sure you use a Long for that.
public class messages
{
public string id { get; set; }
public long recipient { get; set; }
}
Furthermore you can add inDND to your jsonToObj class if you need the info:
public class jsonToObj
{
...
public string[] inDND { get; set; }
...
}

Based on string you class structure should be like this :
public class Warning
{
public string message { get; set; }
public string numbers { get; set; }
}
public class Message
{
public int num_parts { get; set; }
public string sender { get; set; }
public string content { get; set; }
}
public class Message2
{
public string id { get; set; }
public long recipient { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Warning> warnings { get; set; }
public int balance { get; set; }
public int batch_id { get; set; }
public int cost { get; set; }
public int num_messages { get; set; }
public Message message { get; set; }
public string receipt_url { get; set; }
public string custom { get; set; }
public List<string> inDND { get; set; }
public List<Message2> messages { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
}
It looks like your class structure is not proper, Make use of visual studio and generate C# class from json string and then using that generated class try to deserialize class.
Read : Visual Studio Generate Class From JSON or XML

I simulated your problem and made the following changes that worked:
Change the method that deserializes to this:
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonToObj>(richTextBox1.Text);
The result of the JSON you receive is not a List, so it will not work to deserialize to List<>.
The recipient property of the messages class receives values larger than an integer, so it must be transformed into a long like this:
public long recipient { get; set; }
These changes solve your problem.

Looks like this is a very old post, still thought of answering.
First of all, your Json data is singular which means, either
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<jsonToObj[]>>(richTextBox1.Text);
or
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<jsonToObj>>(richTextBox1.Text);
may not work for you.
You can either try:
var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonToObj>(richTextBox1.Text);
or
enclose the data with [ and ], which would do the trick.
make sure your parsing single object vs list of objects.

Parse JSON object in C#

I use JSON.NET and I would like to parse the following object which I get from a WebService. Can someone post an example on how to do that?
#"{""MessageType"":0,
""Message"":""Success"",

""itemInList"":[
{
""fromDate"":""\/Date(1228946400000)\/"",

""toLocation"":null,
""originalRequest"":""gala"",
""creationDate"":""\/Date(1304370000000)\/"",

JSON Object
{
"MessageType":0,
"Message":"UserLists",
"Value":

{
"listId":1,
"listName":"DemoList",
"itemInList"
[

"creationDate":"\/Date(1304370000000)\/",

]
}
Thanks.

You need to create some entity like this:
public class Entity
{
public int MessageType { get; set; }
public string Message { get; set; }
public List<EntityValue> Value { get; set; }
}
public class EntityValue
{
public int listId { get; set; }
public string listName { get; set; }
public List<ItemInList> itemInList { get; set; }
}
public class ItemInList
{
public DateTime? fromDate { get; set; }
public string fromLocation { get; set; }
public string toLocation { get; set; }
public string originalRequest { get; set; }
public DateTime creationDate { get; set; }
public int typeId { get; set; }
}
The entity must has the same structure like the json data.
And you can call the Method:
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Entity>(json);
If it has any exception,you need to adjust the entities until it works.
