How can I search a JSON file in C# by a key value, and then obtain a subsequent key + value?

I have 3 JSON files that all contain the same data structure, however different data.
The structure for all 3 files is as follows:
{
"TokenId": "0",
"rank": "2804"
},
{
"TokenId": "1",
"rank": "977"
},
{
"TokenId": "2",
"rank": "4085"
}
I am trying to create a new JSON file from these 3 files that has the following structure, and yes, they all have the same tokenID values, but slightly different rank values:
{
"TokenId": "0",
"File1Rank": "2804",
"File2Rank": "2802",
"File3Rank": "2809"
},
{
"TokenId": "1",
"File1Rank": "977",
"File2Rank": "983",
"File3Rank": "999"
},
{
"TokenId": "2",
"File1Rank": "4085",
"File2Rank": "4089",
"File3Rank": "4100"
}
How can I search by the tokenId value in each file to obtain the rank value? I can iterate through each valuea in each file to get both values, but I am struggling to create or update the new JSON correctly. The logic I feel I need is if the TokenId is equal to a certain value, then add the rank key/value, but I have not been able to find the answer on how I can do this.

You can use the newtonsoft json library to parse and update the json files.
If your source file structure is:
{
"Tokens": [
{
"TokenId": "0",
"rank": "2804"
},
{
"TokenId": "1",
"rank": "977"
},
{
"TokenId": "2",
"rank": "4085"
}
]
}
Pseudo code:
using Newtonsoft.Json
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq
void Main()
{
dynamic objFinal = JObject.Parse("{ 'Tokens':[] }");
JArray finalArray = (JArray)objFinal["Tokens"];
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(#"D:\Projects\JsonFiles\");
foreach(var file in dir.GetFiles("*.json"))
{
dynamic objJson = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText(file.FullName));
JArray tokens = (JArray)objJson["Tokens"];
foreach(JToken token in tokens)
{
JToken searchResult = finalArray.Where(t=> Convert.ToString(t["TokenId"])==Convert.ToString(token["TokenId"])).FirstOrDefault();
if(searchResult==null)
{
//push new tokenid
JArray newFileRanks = new JArray();
newFileRanks.Add(token["rank"]);
dynamic newToken = new JObject();
newToken["TokenId"] = token["TokenId"];
newToken["fileRanks"] = newFileRanks;
finalArray.Add(newToken);
}
else
{
//append to fileRanks
JArray existingFileRanks = (JArray)searchResult["fileRanks"];
dynamic fileRankExists = existingFileRanks.Where(t=> Convert.ToString(t)==Convert.ToString(token["rank"])).FirstOrDefault();
if(fileRankExists==null)
{
existingFileRanks.Add(token["rank"]);
}
}
}
}
Console.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(objFinal));
}
Final output:
{
"Tokens": [
{
"TokenId": "0",
"fileRanks": [ "2804", "2801" ]
},
{
"TokenId": "1",
"fileRanks": [ "977", "972" ]
},
{
"TokenId": "2",
"fileRanks": [ "4085", "4083" ]
}
]
}

ChoETL json to csv with multiple arrays

If I have a sample json like this and I want to use choETL to convert json to csv, how do i write both arrays to one file?
{
"Id": "123456",
"Request": [
{
"firstName": "A",
"lastName": "B",
}
],
"Response": [
{
"SId": "123"
}
]
}
Csv file should be something like
Id,firstName,lastName,SId
123456,A,B,123

Here is how you can produce the expected CSV from the json by using ChoETL
using (var r = ChoJSONReader.LoadText(json)
.WithField("Id")
.WithField("firstName", jsonPath:"Request[0].firstName", isArray:false)
.WithField("lastName", jsonPath:"Request[0].lastName", isArray:false)
.WithField("SId", jsonPath:"Response[0].SId", isArray:false)
)
{
using (var w = new ChoCSVWriter(Console.Out).WithFirstLineHeader())
w.Write(r);
}
Output:
Id,firstName,lastName,SId
123456,A,B,123

UPDATE:
If the array is dynamic, here is one way to produce the CSV output by Request json array field
Sample JSON:
{
"Id": "123456",
"Request": [
{
"firstName": "A",
"lastName": "B",
},
{
"firstName": "A1",
"lastName": "B1",
}
],
"Response": [
{
"SId": "123"
},
{
"SId": "1234"
}
]
}
Here is the code to parse the json by Request json array field
using (var r = ChoJSONReader.LoadText(json)
.Configure(c => c.FlattenNode = true).Configure(c => c.FlattenByNodeName = "Request")
)
{
using (var w = new ChoCSVWriter(Console.Out).WithFirstLineHeader())
w.Write(r);
}
Output:
Id,Response_0_SId,Response_1_SId,RequestfirstName,RequestlastName
123456,123,1234,A,B
123456,123,1234,A1,B

How to get all value of particular key in JSON?

I have a JSON structure that contains different levels. How to iterate the JSON and get all values of a particular key in JSON in C#
Below is my JSON file
{
"name": "EPM Company",
"id": "kpfwzgmhpm",
"type": "root",
"childern": [
{
"cid": "67",
"cname": "cname1",
"childern": [
{
"reading": [
{
"id": 121,
"name": "test1"
},
{
"id": 1121,
"name": "test11"
}
]
}
]
},
{
"cid": "454",
"cname": "cname14",
"childern": [
{
"reading": [
{
"id": 454,
"name": "test14"
},
{
"id": 21,
"name": "test141"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
This is the JSON format. I am trying to get the value in the below format.
{
"name": "EPM Company",
"id": "kpfwzgmhpm",
"value": [
{
"id": 121,
"name": "test1",
"cid": "67",
"cname": "cname1"
},
{
"id": 1121,
"name": "test11",
"cid": "67",
"cname": "cname1"
},
{
"id": 124234,
"cname": "test12342",
"cid": "67",
"name": "cname1"
},
{
"id": 454,
"name": "test14",
"cid": "454",
"cname": "cname14"
},
{
"id": 21,
"name": "test141",
"cid": "454",
"cname": "cname14"
},
{
"id": 121,
"name": "test123122",
"cid": "454",
"cname": "cname14"
}
]
}
fetching all the reading key and its value-added to array with its cid and came. is it possible?
advanced thanks for the help
my code in c# is
public string SensorList(string entireData)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(entireData))
{
return string.Empty;
}
var returnObj = new Jobject ();
JObject o = JObject.Parse(entireData);
var childern = o["children"];
returnObj.Add("name" = o ["name"];
returnObj.Add("id" = o ["id"];
returnObj.Add("value" = o ["value"];
var valuearry = new JArray();
foreach(var data in childern)
{
foreach(var reading in data["reading"])
{
var valobj = new Jobject ();
valobj.Add( "cid",data["id"])
valobj.Add( "cname",data["name"])
valobj.Add( "name",reading["id"])
valobj.Add( "id",reading["name"])
valuearry.add()
if(data.containsKey("children"))
{
var sensorInfo = SensorList(data["children"]);
}
}
returnObj.Add("value",valuearry);
// var output = sensorInfo.SelectMany(x => ((JObject)x).Properties().Select(y => new JObject {
// new JProperty("id",y.Name),
// new JProperty("name",y.Value["name"])
// })).ToList();
// var returnArray = new JArray(output);
return returnObj.ToString();
}
}
recurring part is not working and take too much time for other long JSON file

Recursively create JSON in C# without losing the JProperties from the first iteration

Here, I am trying to create a JSON using using Newtonsoft.Json; libraries. I came up with a function which partially does my job and when the same function is called, my previous data on the JObject is lost. I am new to this items JProperty, JObject, JArray, JToken however managed to come up with this code.
The parent is initiated in the function itself and when the function is recursively called its initiated and cleaned up again. So I added another JObject head. Making it more complicated.
string statment = "(Entity.Country = 'USA' AND Entity.ShortName = 'Adele' AND (Entity.CIFNumber = '12345' OR Statement.StatementYear = '2015'))";
public static JObject ConvertToJsonObject(string text)
{
JObject parent = new JObject();
string bracketContents = getWhatsInsideBrackets(text);
parent.Add(new JProperty("operator", ReturnOperator(text)));
parent.Add(new JProperty("rules"));
string[] operators = splitWithOperator(bracketContents);
List<JObject> req = new List<JObject>();
for (int i = 0; i < splitWithOperator(bracketContents).Length; i++)
{
if (!checkIfBracketsExists(operators[i].Trim()))
{
req.Add(GetEachCondition(operators, i));
}
else if (checkIfBracketsExists(operators[i]))
{
parent["rules"] = new JArray(ConvertToJsonObject(operators[i]));
head = parent;
parent["rules"] = (ConvertToJsonObject(operators[i]));
}
}
parent["rules"] = new JArray(req);
head["rules"] = parent;
return parent;
}
I am trying to achieve this JSON output: (Only trying to achieve the key, value of DataSetCommonQuery, dont worry about the other keys on the json)
{
"context": {
"wfId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
"taskId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
},
"payLoad": {
"DataSetCommonQuery": {
"operator": "AND",
"rules": [
{
"field": "ENTITY.CIFNumber",
"condition": "<>",
"value": "3123"
},
{
"field": "ENTITY.Country",
"condition": "LIKE",
"value": "USA"
},
{
"operator": "OR",

},

},
{

}
]
}
]
},

How to return this format this JSON into an array of strings

I am executing a linq query which gets me all the records from a table:
var data = _context.People.ToList(); //_context is my DataContext.
The above returns the the value:
{
"name": "john",
"age": "30"
},
{
"name": "jane",
"age": "31"
}
but according to jsonlint, this is invalid and I need to have it be returned as:
[{
"name": "john",
"age": "30"
},
{
"name": "jane",
"age": "31"
}]
How can I do this?
viewData.xldata = [];
$.each(data, function(i, row) {
var strRow = JSON.stringify(row);
viewData.xldata.push(strRow);});
Deserialize using `JavaScriptSerializer:
var people = jss.Deserialize<List<People>>(args["xldata"]);

Try this:
List<People> data= _context.People.ToList();
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer objSerializer = default(System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer);
objSerializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
return objSerializer.Serialize(data);
