How to assign same Json property name, one having value and other being null?

In the json response the property "data" is used as a List and in other places in the Json it is used as a string.. when its used in the List the property has some value when its using as a string the value is coming as null..
How to include both scenario here when I am deserialzing and serializing the json.. without running in to exception A member with the name 'data' already exists. Use the JsonPropertyAttribute to specify another name
public class Example
{
[JsonProperty("data", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
public List<Datum> Data { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("data", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Include)]
public string Data { get; set; }
}
Here is what I tried to use a private property but not able to resolve the issue
[JsonProperty("data", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
public List<Datum> Data { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("data2", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Include)]
private List<Datum> Data2 { set { Data = value; } }
Here is the Json

Entity Framework Core Parent/Child Clean query with multi level child [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Map category parent id self referencing table structure to EF Core entity
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have an issue on cleaning querying my parent child without repeating the children at its own root of the list.
Object
public class Office
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool Inactive { get; set; }
public int? ParentId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("ParentId")]
public Office Parent { get; set; }
[InverseProperty("Parent")]
public virtual ICollection<Office> Children { get; set; }
}
}
The Query
public async Task<IEnumerable<Office>> GetOffices()
{
return await _context.Offices.Where(os => !os.Inactive)
.Include(o => o.Parent)
.Include(o => o.Children).ToListAsync();
}
And the result
{
"id": 5,
"name": "AA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 10,
"name": "BAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 2,
"parent": {
"id": 2,
"name": "BA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": []
},
"children": [
{
"id": 1011,
"name": "BAAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 10,
"children": []
}
]
},
{
"id": 1011,
"name": "BAAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 10,
"parent": {
"id": 10,
"name": "BAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 2,
"parent": {
"id": 2,
"name": "BA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": []
},
"children": []
},
"children": []
},
,
{
"id": 2,
"name": "BA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": [
{
"id": 10,
"name": "BAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 2,
"children": [
{
"id": 1011,
"name": "BAAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 10,
"children": []
}
]
}
]
}
This also has child objects at the root level so I tried this
public async Task<IEnumerable<Office>> GetOffices()
{
return await _context.Offices.Where(os => !os.Inactive && !os.ParentId.HasValue).Include(o => o.Parent).Include(o => o.Children).ToListAsync();
}
And this is the result of the other query
{
"id": 5,
"name": "AA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "BA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": [
{
"id": 10,
"name": "BAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 2,
"children": null
}
]
}
This leaves out id 1010 BAAA child object. Idealy I would like to have it come out as
{
"id": 5,
"name": "AA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "BA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": null,
"parent": null,
"children": [
{
"id": 10,
"name": "BAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 2,
"children": [
{
"id": 1011,
"name": "BAAA",
"inactive": false,
"parentId": 10,
"children": []
}
]
}
]
}
No matter how I stack the query I can't seem to get this to display this way. Is there a way to adjust the query to allow this or an easy post query command to trim only the root level objects that are a child?

If you want limited number of child levels (2 in this example) fetched you can try:
await _context.Offices
.Where(os => !os.Inactive && !os.ParentId.HasValue)
.Include(o => o.Parent)
.Include(o => o.Children)
.ThenInclude(o => o.Children)
.ToListAsync()

Calculated Sharepoint Value Returns Null after JSON Deserialize in UWP

So I am trying to return a couple of ListItems from a sharepoint list. I get the content back just fine, but when it Deserializes the content, the calculated column returns a null value. I just do not get it since the value is there in the content.
string geturl = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/XXXXX.sharepoint.com,495435b4-60c3-49b7-8f6e-1d262a120ae5,0fad9f67-35a8-4c0b-892e-113084058c0a/lists/18a725ac-83ef-48fb-a5cb-950ca2378fd0/items/9?expand=fields(select=SerialNumber,id)";
public async Task<string> GetDataWithTokenAsync(string url, string token, string listitem)
{
var httpClient = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage response;
try
{
var request = new System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage(System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Get, url);
//Add the token in Authorization header
request.Headers.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SharePointListItems.RootObject>(content);
if (listitem == "id")
{
return result.fields.Id;
}
else
{
return result.fields.SerialNumber;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return ex.ToString();
}
}
Here is the class (shortened):
public class SharePointListItems
{
public class Fields
{
[JsonProperty("#odata.etag")]
public string ODataETag { get; set; }
//General Parameters
...
public string SerialNumber { get; set; } // Calculated field in Sharepoint
public string Id { get; set; }
...
}
public class RootObject
{
[JsonProperty("#odata.context")]
public string ODataContext { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("#odata.etag")]
public string ODataETag { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("fields#odata.context")]
public string FieldsODataContext { get; set; }
public Fields fields { get; set; }
}
}
The content that is returned with my GET is:

If I add a line

It just seems like I am going round in circles now.
What I want to end up is with a List of id & SerialNumber.
[Code updated to reflect my comment]

Since I really answered the question of the topic the 2nd thing I was asking was a totally separate issue.
So what happened was that I was looking at the wrong data. There happened to also be an 'id' field also in the area I was looking at, so it was showing that 'id' and not the one I was really looking for. When I setup the appropriate entry point, I was able to work down to the appropriate field.

Fetch Zendesk Tickets into SQL (JSON Handling)

In the Zendesk Developer Blog i found a helpfull Entry(https://developer.zendesk.com/blog/getting-and-creating-tickets-with-.net).
I used the Code from the Article in an C# ConsoleApp for testing:
using System;
using ConsoleApplication1.Properties;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using RestSharp;
using RestSharp.Authenticators;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
public class Ticket
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public string external_id { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public string subject { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string priority { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string recipient { get; set; }
public int requester_id { get; set; }
public int submitter_id { get; set; }
public int assignee_id { get; set; }
public int organization_id { get; set; }
public int group_id { get; set; }
}
internal class Program
{
private static readonly string requestUri = "https://xxx.zendesk.com/";
private static readonly string username = Settings.Default.Username;
private static readonly string password = Settings.Default.Password;
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
var client = new RestClient(requestUri);
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(username, password);
var request = new RestRequest("/api/v2/tickets.json", Method.GET);
client.AddDefaultHeader("Accept", "application/json");
var response = client.Execute(request);
var content = response.Content;
var ticket = JObject.Parse(content);
foreach (var pair in ticket)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", pair.Key, pair.Value);
}
}

}
It works, and i receive the following Data:

But now i did not know how to load the received data in Ticket Objects.
I Need something like that:
foreach(Ticket t in [Received Data])
{
... do something
}
to replace the "Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", pair.Key, pair.Value);" part.
These are my first steps in JSON, some how-to or first step link could be helpfull too.
(tried to get hints on http://www.newtonsoft.com/json but without sucess)
Update 1:
After the Comment from dbc (thx, for the very helpful Link) i testet a Little bit more. The variable "content":
var content = response.Content;
contains a Valid JSON string:

but, only if there is NO double Quotation mark in the description (and i think in other fields too). Seems that Zendesk API does no escaping for the Quotation Marks !?!
But anyway i have valid JSON now, how can i load the JSON string in the Ticket object?

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://92logics.zendesk.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer your_api_key"); // or your basic authentication
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
string path = "api/v2/tickets.json?page=1";
ZenDeskTickets list = null;
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(path);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
long SkippedId = 1;
string SkippedUrl = "";
list = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<ZenDeskTickets>();
}
You need to add namespace System.Net.Http to access ReadAsAsync.
It is available as dll and also as web api package files
Here is ZenDeskTickets Calls for you.
public class ZenDeskTickets
{
[JsonProperty("tickets")]
public Ticket[] Tickets { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("next_page")]
public object NextPage { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("previous_page")]
public object PreviousPage { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("count")]
public int Count { get; set; }
}
Same way you can define Ticket Class.
Each property/column will map automatically to right location and data will be filled.

Get Values from nested Json Object

I have a nested json format like given below,I need to read all the nodes till the last node to get the node name, node value, attribute name, parent node. I tried using a recursive function to read data but its not working correctly. Please help with a simple solution to read data. (precisely a dynamic one which can handle any number of nodes and attributes)
Required Output format
name | Value | IsNode | Parent
------------------------------------------------
updated 2014-01-01 false record
position ambassador true record/person
first_name Eliyahu true record/person/names
alias Eli true record/person/names/aliases

You can use Json.NET to deserialize the JSON into the following class:
public class JsonNodes
{
public string Node { get; set; }
public string NodeValue { get; set; }
public string ParentNode { get; set; }
public List<JsonNodes> Nodes { get; set; }
public List<JsonNodesAttribute> Attributes { get; set; }
}
public class JsonNodesAttribute
{
public string Key { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
and you can use this method to print all the values in the required output format using a console application:
private static void PrintValues(JsonNodes nodes, string parent)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Name: {0}", nodes.Node));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Value: {0}", nodes.NodeValue));
Console.WriteLine("IsNode: true");
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Parent: {0}", parent));
Console.WriteLine();
if (parent == string.Empty)
{
parent += nodes.Node;
}
else
{
parent += string.Format("/{0}", nodes.Node);
}
foreach (JsonNodesAttribute attribute in nodes.Attributes)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Name: {0}", attribute.Key));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Value: {0}", attribute.Value));
Console.WriteLine("IsNode: false");
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Parent: {0}", parent));
}
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (JsonNodes childNode in nodes.Nodes)
{
PrintValues(childNode, parent);
}
}
Let's say you put the JSON to a string variable named jsonInput, here's how you deserialize and print all of its values:
string jsonInput = ...; // put the above json here
JsonNodes nodes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonNodes>(jsonInput);
PrintValues(nodes, string.Empty);
Console.ReadLine();

Use the following method to enumerate your JSON string using Json.NET:
void JsonVisitor(JToken node, int indent = 0)
{
var indentString = new String(' ', indent * 4);
Console.WriteLine("{0}+{1}: {2}", indentString, node["Node"], node["NodeValue"]);
foreach (var attribute in node["Attributes"])
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}: {2}", indentString, attribute["Key"], attribute["Value"]);
}
foreach (var subNode in node["Nodes"])
{
JsonVisitor(subNode, indent + 1);
}
}
You can call it like this (if jsonString is your input):
var jsonObject = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
JsonVisitor(jsonObject.Root);
