How to bind this json and read specific key value

I have below json which I would like to read it in a list. below are the classes and model defined and the code by which I am trying to read. I am getting null value on binding. I am not sure how should i achieve this. So for example if I have multiple rules, I would like to read each one based on the condition passed. Please see my last sample code for better understanding.
Sample Json:
{"TableStorageRule": { "Rules": [ {
"Name": "filterRule1",
"DataFilter":
{
"DataSetType": "Settings1"
},
"TableSettings":
{
"AzureTable": {
"Account": "account1",
"Table": "table1",
"Key": "key1"
},
"SchemaBaseUri": "https://test.web.core.windows.net/"
}
},
{
"Name": "filterRule2",
"DataFilter":
{
"DataSetType": "Settings2"
},
"TableSettings":
{
"AzureTable": {
"Account": "account2",
"Table": "table2",
"Key": "key2"
},
"SchemaBaseUri": "https://test2.web.core.windows.net/"
}
}
] }}
Model and Code:
public class TableStoreSettings
{
public class AzureTableSettings
{
public string Account { get; set; }
public string Key { get; set; }
public string Table { get; set; }
}
public AzureTableSettings AzureTable { get; set; }
public Uri SchemaBaseUri { get; set; }
}
public class TableStorageRule
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public TwisterDataFilter DataFilter { get; set; }
public TableStoreSettings TableSettings { get; set; }
}
public class TableStorageConfiguration
{
public IEnumerable<TableStorageRule> Rules { get; set; } = new List<TableStorageRule>();
}
code by which I am trying to read:
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Path.Combine(Root))
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false);
var config = builder.Build();
var tableStorageOutput = new TableStorageRule();
config.GetSection("TableStorageRule").Bind(tableStorageOutput);
var nameOfFilter = tableStorageOutput.Name;
if (tableStorageOutput.Name == "filterRule1")
{
var accountname = tableStorageOutput.TableSettings.AzureTable.Account;
}
on above I only get first filtername1 , i dont get other filternames and so on...though on GetSection() i see all the values in quick watch.

this is correct models from your JSON file :
public class DataFilter {
public string DataSetType { get; set; }
}
public class AzureTable {
public string Account { get; set; }
public string Table { get; set; }
public string Key { get; set; }
}
public class TableSettings {
public AzureTable AzureTable { get; set; }
public string SchemaBaseUri { get; set; }
}
public class Rule {
public string Name { get; set; }
public DataFilter DataFilter { get; set; }
public TableSettings TableSettings { get; set; }
}
public class TableStorageRule {
public List<Rule> Rules { get; set; }
}
public class Root {
public TableStorageRule TableStorageRule { get; set; }
}
for test you can read your JSON file and get values (maybe change models solve your problem in your code):
string json = File.ReadAllText(jsonFilePath);
Root myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(json);

How to read the json string through C# code in runtime?

{
"StudentInformation": {
"rollNumber": null,
"isClassLeader": false,
"result": "Pass"
},
"CollegeInformation": {
"allClass": ["A", "B"],
"currencyAccepted": "INR",
"calendarDates": [],
"currencyCode": "INR",
"collegeCode": null,
"hasBulidingFundPrices": false,
"hasHostel": false,
"hasSecurityFares": false
},
"Collegetrips": [{
"tripsdate": [{
"departureTripDate": "2017-08-15 00:00:00",
"Places": [{
"destination": "Bombay",
"price": [{
"priceAmount": 1726
}]
}]
}]
}]
}
In the above json file i need to retrieve only "priceAmount": 1726. Please anyone suggest how can able to achieve?

You can use System.Web.Script.Serialization (you need to add a reference to System.Web.Extensions):
dynamic json = new JavaScriptSerializer()
.DeserializeObject(jsonString);
decimal price = json["Collegetrips"][0]
["tripsdate"][0]
["Places"][0]
["price"][0]
["priceAmount"]; // 1726
Note that you can pretty much traverse the json in this manner using indexes and key names.

Hi try this,
public void Main()
{
string sJSON = "{\"StudentInformation\": {\"rollNumber\": null,\"isClassLeader\": false,\"result\": \"Pass\"},\"CollegeInformation\": {\"allClass\": [\"A\", \"B\"],\"currencyAccepted\": \"INR\",\"calendarDates\": [],\"currencyCode\": \"INR\",\"collegeCode\": null,\"hasBulidingFundPrices\": false,\"hasHostel\": false,\"hasSecurityFares\": false},\"Collegetrips\": [{\"tripsdate\": [{\"departureTripDate\": \"2017-08-15 00:00:00\",\"Places\": [{\"destination\": \"Bombay\",\"price\": [{\"priceAmount\": 1726}]}]}]}]}";
Rootobject obj = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Rootobject>(sJSON);
Price price = obj.Collegetrips.Select(ct =>
{
var r = ct.tripsdate.Select(td =>
{
var r1 = td.Places.Select(p =>
{
Price itemPrice = p.price.FirstOrDefault();
return itemPrice;
}).FirstOrDefault();
return r1;
}).FirstOrDefault();
return r;
}).FirstOrDefault();
if (price != null)
Console.Write(price.priceAmount);
else
Console.Write("Not Found!");
}
public class Rootobject
{
public Studentinformation StudentInformation { get; set; }
public Collegeinformation CollegeInformation { get; set; }
public Collegetrip[] Collegetrips { get; set; }
}
public class Studentinformation
{
public object rollNumber { get; set; }
public bool isClassLeader { get; set; }
public string result { get; set; }
}
public class Collegeinformation
{
public string[] allClass { get; set; }
public string currencyAccepted { get; set; }
public object[] calendarDates { get; set; }
public string currencyCode { get; set; }
public object collegeCode { get; set; }
public bool hasBulidingFundPrices { get; set; }
public bool hasHostel { get; set; }
public bool hasSecurityFares { get; set; }
}
public class Collegetrip
{
public Tripsdate[] tripsdate { get; set; }
}
public class Tripsdate
{
public string departureTripDate { get; set; }
public Place[] Places { get; set; }
}
public class Place
{
public string destination { get; set; }
public Price[] price { get; set; }
}
public class Price
{
public int priceAmount { get; set; }
}

I use:
http://json2csharp.com/
to get a class representing the Json Object.
public class StudentInformation
{
public object rollNumber { get; set; }
public bool isClassLeader { get; set; }
public string result { get; set; }
}
public class CollegeInformation
{
public List<string> allClass { get; set; }
public string currencyAccepted { get; set; }
public List<object> calendarDates { get; set; }
public string currencyCode { get; set; }
public object collegeCode { get; set; }
public bool hasBulidingFundPrices { get; set; }
public bool hasHostel { get; set; }
public bool hasSecurityFares { get; set; }
}
public class Price
{
public int priceAmount { get; set; }
}
public class Place
{
public string destination { get; set; }
public List<Price> price { get; set; }
}
public class Tripsdate
{
public string departureTripDate { get; set; }
public List<Place> Places { get; set; }
}
public class Collegetrip
{
public List<Tripsdate> tripsdate { get; set; }
}
public class JsonResponse
{
public StudentInformation StudentInformation { get; set; }
public CollegeInformation CollegeInformation { get; set; }
public List<Collegetrip> Collegetrips { get; set; }
}
After that I use Newtonsoft.Json to fill the Class:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace GitRepositoryCreator.Common
{
class JObjects
{
public static string Get(object p_object)
{
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(p_object);
}
internal static T Get<T>(string p_object)
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(p_object);
}
}
}
You can call it like that:
JsonResponse jsonClass = JObjects.Get<JsonResponse>(stringJson);
string stringJson = JObjects.Get(jsonClass);
PS:
If your json variable name is no valid C# name you can fix that like this:
public class Exception
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public object innerException { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public string typeName { get; set; }
public string typeKey { get; set; }
public int errorCode { get; set; }
public int eventId { get; set; }
}

Serializing Json to c# Class throwing error

I have a JSON returning from web like this
{
"data": {
"normal_customer": {
"0": {
"id": 1,
"name": "ALPHY"
}
},
"1": {
"id": 2,
"name": "STEVEN"
}
},
"luxury_customer": {
"3": {
"id": 8,
"name": "DEV"
}
}
}
}
I have created c# classes
public class StandardCustomers
{
public List<CustomersDetails> Customers_Details { get; set; }
}
public class CustomersDetails
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public int id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
public class LuxuryCustomers
{
public List<CustomersDetails> Customers_Details { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public StandardCustomers standard_Customers { get; set; }
public LuxuryCustomers luxury_Customers { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Data data { get; set; }
}
}
When I use deserialize the response from the website using below c# code
var result1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(response);
but result1.luxury_customers contains customerdetails which is null.
As suggested by #hellostone, I have modified to rootdata, then also
result1.luxury_customers contains customerdetails is null.
Any idea how to deserialize to c# class
When we pasted Json to visual studio, it generated classes as below
public class Rootobject
{
public Data data { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public Standard_Customers standard_Customers { get; set; }
public Luxury_Customers luxury_Customers { get; set; }
}
public class Standard_Customers
{
public _0 _0 { get; set; }
public _1 _1 { get; set; }
public _2 _2 { get; set; }
public _4 _4 { get; set; }
public _5 _5 { get; set; }
}
public class _0
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
individual classes are generated in standard customers , can we use list for this

I guess the problem is that index in luxury_customers starting not from zero. Try to use Dictionary<string,CustomersDetails> in LuxuryCustomers instead List<CustomersDetails>.
I've managed to deserialize Json with this classes:
public class CustomersDetails
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public int id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public Dictionary<string, CustomersDetails> normal_customer { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string,CustomersDetails> luxury_customer { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Data data { get; set; }
}
Deserialization code:
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(text);
P.S. I've remove one closing bracket after "ALPHY" element, to make Json valid, I hope it was typo and you're getting valid Json.

Your json string doesn't match with your defined classes. Your Json string should look like this if you want to preserve your class structure:
{
"data":{
"standard_Customers":{
"Customers_Details":[
{
"id":1,
"name":"ALPHY"
},
{
"id":2,
"name":"STEVEN"
}
]
},
"luxury_Customers":{
"Customers_Details":[
{
"id":8,
"name":"DEV"
}
]
}
}
}
Pay attention to the square brackets at the "Customers_Details" attribute.
Then the:
var result1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response);
call, will give you the right object back and it shouldn't be null, when using your class structure:
public class StandardCustomers
{
public List<CustomersDetails> Customers_Details { get; set; }
}
public class CustomersDetails
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public int id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class LuxuryCustomers
{
public List<CustomersDetails> Customers_Details { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public StandardCustomers standard_Customers { get; set; }
public LuxuryCustomers luxury_Customers { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Data data { get; set; }
}

How to Deserialize deeply nested json array in asp.net C#

JSon String is given below:
{

}
}
]
}
],
"sid": [
{
"firstName": "Henk",
"lastName": "de Vries",
"Title": "Dr.",
"primary organisation": "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam",
"emailAddress": "henk.de.vries#science.com",
"editorship": [
{
"title": "Dr.",
"editorial_role": "Editor in chief",
"publication_year": 2012
}
]
}
]
}
}
I have written code to deserialization
JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
JsonTest foo = new JsonTest();
foo = (JsonTest)ser.Deserialize<JsonTest>(JSONString);
public class JsonTest
{
public properties properties { get; set; }
}
public class properties
{
public List<jci> jci { get; set; }
public List<sid>sid { get; set; }
}
public class jci
{
public string firstName { get; set; }
public string lastName { get; set; }
public string Photo { get; set; }
public string Position { get; set; }
public string Institution { get; set; }
public string emailAddress { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public List<string> Fields_of_interest { get; set; }
public List<editorship> editorship { get; set; }
}
public class editorship
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string editorial_role { get; set; }
public string date_start { get; set; }
public string date_end { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, string> publisher { get; set; }
}
in this code there are 2 arrays of object called "editorship".. I have created "editorship" class for "jci".. how to access the values of editorship array of sid...?

Using json2csharp i generated these classes based on your JSON
public class Publisher
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string role { get; set; }
public string emailAddress { get; set; }
}
public class Editorship
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string editorial_role { get; set; }
public int date_start { get; set; }
public int date_end { get; set; }
public Publisher publisher { get; set; }
}
public class Jci
{
public string firstName { get; set; }
public string lastName { get; set; }
public string Photo { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Position { get; set; }
public string Institution { get; set; }
public List<string> Fields_of_interest { get; set; }
public string emailAddress { get; set; }
public List<Editorship> editorship { get; set; }
}
public class Editorship2
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string editorial_role { get; set; }
public int publication_year { get; set; }
}
public class Sid
{
public string firstName { get; set; }
public string lastName { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string primary_organisation { get; set; }
public string emailAddress { get; set; }
public List<Editorship2> editorship { get; set; }
}
public class Properties
{
public List<Jci> jci { get; set; }
public List<Sid> sid { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Properties properties { get; set; }
}
You can then access your editorial values like this:
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var collection = serializer.Deserialize<RootObject>(jsonString);
foreach (var j in collection.properties.sid)
{
Console.Write(j.editorship);
}
On a side note, you should consider using names that are more readable then jci and sid

Generate C# object from Json string and parse Json string to generated object

I am trying to generate C# class using the JSON string from here http://json2csharp.com/ this works fine. But I can't parse the JSON to the object generated by the website.
Here is the JSON string
{
"searchParameters":{
"key":"**********",
"system":"urn:oid:.8"
},
"message":" found one Person matching your search criteria.",

}
}
Here is the code I use to convert to the object.
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (PersonsearchVM)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(PersonsearchVM));
Is there any other wat to generate the object and parse?

I think you have some invalid characters in your JSON string. Run it through a validator and add the necessary escape characters.
http://jsonlint.com/

You aren't casting it to the right object. Cast it to the type RootObject.
Eg
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (RootObject)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(RootObject));
The code that json 2 csharp creates is this:

The following function will convert JSON into a C# class where T is the class type.
public static T Deserialise<T>(string json)
{
T obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
obj = (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms); //
return obj;
}
}
You need a reference to the System.Runtime.Serialization.json namespace.
The function is called in the following manner;
calendarList = Deserialise<GoogleCalendarList>(calendarListString);
calendarlist being the C# class and calendarListString the string containing the JSON.
