Firstly thank you for taking the time to look at this. It's quite alot.
Question:
I'm basically trying to download a json as a string and then deserialize it to a list. The reason why is so i can then call a specific property of that list (in my case 'ips' because it's all i actually need) and insert it into a table if requirements are met.
The problem is that it moves all null values into the array. 114 columns of null, or empty array and i can't figure out why?
I think i'll attach a link to the JSON because its a massive file its here https://endpoints.office.com/endpoints/Worldwide?clientRequestId=b10c5ed1-bad1-445f-b386-b919946339a7
Here is my code:
Getters and setters for JSON
public class GetSetJsonIP {
[JsonProperty("id")]
public int id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("serviceArea")]
public string ServiceArea { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("serviceAreaDisplayName")]
public string ServiceAreaDisplayName { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("urls")]
public IList<string> urls { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("ips")]
public IList<string> ips { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("tcpPorts")]
public string tcpPorts { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("expressRoute")]
public bool expressRoute { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("category")]
public string category { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("required")]
public bool required { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("notes")]
public string notes { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("udpPorts")]
public string udpPorts { get; set; }
}
List class
public class ConvertJsonIP{
public List<GetSetJsonIP> jsonIpConvert { get; set; }
public List<GetSetJsonIP> jsonIPConvert = new List<GetSetJsonIP>();
}
3.I download the JSON using an empty string called o365IP
o365IP = wc.DownloadString(wc.BaseAddress + "/endpoints/Worldwide?clientRequestId=b10c5ed1-bad1-445f-b386-b919946339a7");
I deserialize using my List to a seperate var
var o365IpVerion = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ConvertJsonIP>>(o365IP);
This code shows no errors. so i can only assume its a logical one on my part. It should be noted that i had to put the <List< in to stop an error stating that it couldnt convert an object to an array.
Seriously, i've been stuck on this for 3 days so any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
the json you have is a list of objects and each of these objects conform to GetSetJsonIp. You should deserialize using List<GetSetJsonIP>
var o365IpVerion = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<GetSetJsonIP>>(o365IP);
public class GetJsonIP works fine.
The reason you must Deserialize into a List<> is because the json object starts with a bracket making the entire object a List or array.
var O365IpVersion = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<GetJsonIP>(O365IP);
There are different ways to fetch the value of a certain property. If you just need ips and want to check the value then update it, then you could loop:
JArray arr = JArray.Parse(O365IP);
foreach (JObject obj in arr.Children<JObject>())
{
foreach (JPRoperty prop in obj.Properties().Where(x => x.Name == "ips"))
{
//use prop.Value and perform tasks
}
}
Or just simply loop like this:
for (int i = 0; i < O365IpVersion.Count; i++)
{
//use O365IpVersion.ElementAt(i).ips

I want to get the price of any crypto coin from BitZ api.
I have the code like this:
string coinName;
string jsonURL = "https://apiv2.bitz.com/Market/coinRate?coins=" + coinName;
I will give the variable coinName the value I want for example coinName = "btc" and I want the price in USDT
The problem here is the Json structure it contains the coin name I will end up with tons of code lines if do this for every coin,
public class Btc
{
public string usdt { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public Btc btc { get; set; }
}
public class Root
{
public int status { get; set; }
public string msg { get; set; }
public Data data { get; set; }
public int time { get; set; }
public string microtime { get; set; }
public string source { get; set; }
}
Unlike Bittrex api for example which is easier to read using JsonDotNet asset from unity store and :
BittrexJsonUrl = "https://api.bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=USDT-" + coinName;
and then I use this code to get the data:
private IEnumerator GetData()
{
/////bittrex
UnityWebRequest request = UnityWebRequest.Get(BittrexJsonUrl);
yield return request.SendWebRequest();
if (request.error == null)
{
Bittrex_proccessJsonData(request.downloadHandler.text);
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Something went wrong!!");
}
}
private void Bittrex_proccessJsonData (string _url) {
var _bittrexJsonData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<BittrexJsonData>(_url);
bittrexPrice = _bittrexJsonData.result.Last;
}
this works perfectly with with bittrex's Json structure, since it doesnt contain the coin name all I do is change the Json URL.
Now I want to do like the same thing for BitZ's if you have any idea how to please help :) thank you in advance.
For such thing you could use good old SimpleJson.
Here you don't need to implement the entire c# structure but rather access the data field by field via it's ID. You can imagine it like a nested Dictionary like thing.
Simply create that file with given content from the link somewhere in your project and do e.g.
var json = JSON.Parse(the_JSON_string);
var usdt = json["Data"]["bst"]["usdt"].AsFloat;
I have a list of objects. Each object has n properties. I have a another list with m [1..n] property names.
Two questions:
How do I filter the list of objects by checking if one of the properties in the other list contains a string?
How do I filter the list of objects by checking if ANY property contains a string?
Here is the object class:
public class MyModel
{
public string POne { get; set; }
public string PTwo { get; set; }
public string PThree { get; set; }
}
In pseudocode in would be something like:
New List filtered
Foreach object o in myObjectList
If o.POne, o.PTwo or o.PThree contains string "test"
filtered.Add(o)
Else
Next
I tried to adapt the code from this post, but could not get a working.
Another thought would be to create a nested list with all property values. In that scenario I get the filtering working with the following line:
List<List<string>> filtered = testList.Where(q => q.Any(a => a.Contains(testString))).ToList();
But isn't that creating a lot of overhead by creating all those extra lists?
Performance is a concern for me.
Make your Class responsible for determing if it matches or not via a method
public class MyModel
{
public string POne { get; set; }
public string PTwo { get; set; }
public string PThree { get; set; }
public bool DoesMatch(string tomatch)
{
return POne.Equals(tomatch) ||
PTwo.Equals(tomatch) ||
PThree.Equals(tomatch);
}
}
Then you can do this
var filtered = testList.Where(q => q.DoesMatch("string to check"));
Currently I am working with the Shopify GraphQL Bulk Query.
This Query returns a JSON Lines file. Such a file may look like this:
{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632","title":"Levis Jeans","description":"Cool Jeans","vendor":"Levis","status":"ACTIVE"}
{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductImage\/20289865679008","__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632"}
{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178118963360","title":"32","position":1,"image":null,"selectedOptions":[{"name":"Size","value":"32"}],"inventoryItem":{},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632"}
{"available":10,"location":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Location\/57510625440"},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178118963360"}
{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178118996128","title":"31","position":2,"image":null,"selectedOptions":[{"name":"Size","value":"31"}],"inventoryItem":{},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632"}
{"available":5,"location":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Location\/57510625440"},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178118996128"}
{"available":3,"location":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Location\/57951518880"},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178118996128"}
{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178119028896","title":"34","position":3,"image":null,"selectedOptions":[{"name":"Size","value":"34"}],"inventoryItem":{},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632"}
{"available":5,"location":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Location\/57510625440"},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178119028896"}
{"available":15,"location":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Location\/57951518880"},"__parentId":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/37178119028896"}
Each line of this file is a valid JSON-object and the lines are connected via __parentId with each other.
My Goal is to Deserialize this into C# Classes like this:
class Product
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<ProductImage> Images { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<ProductVariant> Variants { get; set; }
}
class ProductImage
{
public string Id { get; set; }
}
class ProductVariant
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<IDictionary<string, string>> SelectedOptions { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<InventoryLevel> Levels { get; set; }
}
class InventoryLevel
{
public int Available { get; set; }
}
And the output of a potential function performing the deserialization:
var file = new System.IO.StreamReader(#"c:\test.jsonl");
var products = DeserializeJsonL<IEnumerable<Product>>(file);
Shopify suggests to read the file in reverse. I get the Idea.
But I cannot imagine how to deserialize this file in a type safe way. How could I determine if the current line is a ProductVariant, a ProductImage or something else? I cannot influence the JSONL Output to include type information.
I am pretty sure without type information I cannot deserialize it safely. But how should I handle this data then to insert into a database for example?
EDIT the classname in {"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/5860091625632"} cannot be used to determine the Type!
I ended up adding some sort of type information to my graphql-query by defining a unique fieldname for each type which may be on a new line in the resulting JSON Lines file.
For that i used GraphQL field aliases:
someQuery {
uniqueFieldAlias : fieldName
}
When i read the file i search on each line for the unique fieldname. Then i deserialize the line into the corresponding class.
using (var file = new StreamReader(await res.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync()))
{
string line;
while ((line = await file.ReadLineAsync()) != null)
{
if (line.Contains("\"uniqueFieldAlias\""))
{
var product = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Product>(line);
products.Add(product);
continue;
}
if (line.Contains("\"otherUniqueAlias\""))
{
var somethingElse = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<SomeClass>(line);
products[productIndex].Something.Add(somethingElse);
continue;
}
}
}
The idea is inspired by #Caius Jard comments
I have a list of objects in below json format. I would like to deserialize using below code. It is throwing unable to convert to object error. I have tried below three options, but didnt help. jsoninput is a IEnumerable<string>converted into json object using ToJson().
Error:
{"Error converting value \"{\"id\":\"11ef2c75-9a6d-4cef-8163-94daad4f8397\",\"name\":\"bracing\",\"lastName\":\"male\",\"profilePictureUrl\":null,\"smallUrl\":null,\"thumbnailUrl\":null,\"country\":null,\"isInvalid\":false,\"userType\":0,\"profilePrivacy\":1,\"chatPrivacy\":1,\"callPrivacy\":0}\" to type 'Api.Models.UserInfo'. Path '[0]', line 1, position 271."}
var requests1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UsersInfo>(jsoninput);
var requests2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<UserInfo>>(jsoninput);
var requests3 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<UserInfo>>(jsoninput);
//Below are my classes,
public class UsersInfo
{
public List<UserInfo> UserInfoList { get; set; }
public UsersInfo()
{
UserInfoList = new List<UserInfo>();
}
}
public class UserInfo
{
public string Id { set; get; }
public string Name { set; get; }
public string LastName { set; get; }
public string ProfilePictureUrl { set; get; }
public string SmallUrl { set; get; }
public string ThumbnailUrl { get; set; }
public string Country { set; get; }
public bool IsInvalid { set; get; }
}
Below is my json object,
["{\"id\":\"11ef2c75-9a6d-4cef-8163-94daad4f8397\",\"name\":\"bracing\",\"lastName\":\"male\",\"profilePictureUrl\":null,\"smallUrl\":null,\"thumbnailUrl\":null,\"country\":null,\"isInvalid\":false}","{\"id\":\"318c0885-2720-472c-ba9e-1d1e120bcf65\",\"name\":\"locomotives\",\"lastName\":\"riddles\",\"profilePictureUrl\":null,\"smallUrl\":null,\"thumbnailUrl\":null,\"country\":null,\"isInvalid\":false}"]
Looping through individual items in json input and if i deserialize it like below, it works fine. But i want to deserialize the list fully. Note: jsoninput was a IEnumerable<string> before i convert in json object.
foreach (var re in jsoninput)
{
var request0 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserInfo>(re);
}

Both work, and are basically very close to what you are doing. You can either serialize it as a list (based on your json, I think that's the closest to your use case, and that's Option 2).
However, put extra attention to the JSON. I had to re-parse your JSON to make it work (https://jsonformatter.org/json-parser is a nice website to do it). For the sake of explaining the example, in C#, # means raw string, and in raw string, quotes are escaped with double quotes "".
I would expect that the business logic generating this JSON is not correct, if the JSON you pasted is the direct result from it.
EDIT
Given the OP's comment:
Thanks Tu.ma for your thoughts. The other method returns
IEnumerable which is nothing but
Dictionary.Where(x => x.Value == null).Select(x =>
x.Key).ToHashSet(). The values in Dictionary are -> Key
is String, Value is UserInfo object serialized. So, in that case i
should deserialize one by one? If not, i should serialize entire list
in one shot? Am i right? – Raj 12 hours ago
The problem is in the way you are generating the list of UsersInfo. The result from Dictionary<string,string>.Where(x => x.Value == null).Select(x =>
x.Key).ToHashSet() is a bunch of strings, not of objects, so you need to serialize them one by one.
If you are worried about the linearity of the approach, you could consider running through it in parallel. Of course, you need to judge if it fits your application.
var userInfoStrings = Dictionary<string,string>.Where(x => x.Value == null).Select(x => x.Key).ToHashSet();
var UserInfoList = userInfoStrings.AsParallel().Select (u => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UsersInfo>(u)).ToList();
I have a windows form application and would like to deserialize a JSON string that I'm getting from a web address so that I can get just two values from it, how would I go about doing this?
Below is the code I have to get the JSON string, and if you go to the URL that it's getting, you can also see the JSON string. I want to just get the item name, and current price of it. Which you can see the price under the current key.
private void GrabPrices()
{
using (WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
WebClient n = new WebClient();
var json = n.DownloadString("http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/api/catalogue/detail.json?item=1513");
string valueOriginal = Convert.ToString(json);
Console.WriteLine(json);
}
}
It's also going to be iterating through a SQLite database and getting the same data for multiple items based on the item ID, which I'll be able to do myself.
EDIT I'd like to use JSON.Net if possible, I've been trying to use it and it seems easy enough, but I'm still having trouble.
Okay so first of all you need to know your JSON structure, sample:
[{
name: "Micheal",
age: 20
},
{
name: "Bob",
age: 24
}]
With this information you can derive a C# object
public class Person
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public int Age {get;set;}
}
Now you can use JSON.NET to deserialize your JSON into C#:
var people = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Person>>(jsonString);
If you look at the original JSON it is an array of objects, to deal with this I have used List<T>.
Key things to remember, you need to have the C# object mirror in properties that of the JSON object. If you don't have a list, then you don't need List<T>.
If your JSON objects have camel casing, and you want this converted to the C# conventions, then use this:
var people = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Person>>(
jsonString,
new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver() });
First of all you need to create a class structure for the JSON
public class Wrapper
{
public Item item;
}
public class Item
{
public string icon { get; set; }
public string icon_large { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public string typeIcon { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public GrandExchange current { get; set; }
public GrandExchange today { get; set; }
public bool members { get; set; }
public GrandExchange day30 { get; set; }
public GrandExchange day90 { get; set; }
public GrandExchange day180 { get; set; }
}
public class GrandExchange
{
public string trend { get; set; }
public string price { get; set; }
}
Then you need to serialize the current item into a Wrapper class
var wrapper = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Wrapper>(json);
Then if you want multiple items in a list, you can do so with this code :
// Items to find
int[] itemIds = {1513, 1514, 1515, 1516, 1517};
// Create blank list
List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
foreach (int id in itemIds)
{
var n = new WebClient();
// Get JSON
var json = n.DownloadString(String.Format("http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/api/catalogue/detail.json?item={0}", id));
// Parse to Item object
var wrapper = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Wrapper>(json);
// Append to list
items.Add(wrapper.item);
}
// Do something with list
It is also worth noting that Jagex limit how many times this API can be called from a certain IP within a time frame, going over that limit will block your IP for a certain amount of time. (Will try and find a reference for this)
