How to deserialize JSON string having a property with different types [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to handle both a single item and an array for the same property using JSON.net
(9 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have a JSON response like the following
{
"result": "success",
"totalresults": "100",
"items": {
"item": [
{
"id": "5812",
"lineitems": {
"lineitem": [
{
"type": "product",
"status": "Active"
}
]
}
},
{
"id": "5",
"lineitems": []
}
]
}
}
While trying to deserialize this with a specific type it throws exception because of the lineitems property. lineitems is an empty array for one item and for the other item it has a property lineitem with an array. I don't have control over this JSON data. Please suggest me how to deserialize this without any error.
Using lineitems as object would help me to deserialize the JSON but then I'll end up having 2 different types in the object field which is not gonna help me either.

If you are sure about "lineitems", You can do the replace policy. Once you get the JSON string from API, Do a condition based replace
json = json.Replace("lineitems: []", "lineitems: null");
Once you do it, Your JSON will be standardized. Then you can do desterilize.

I want to remove a specific property from json.
The json was like as below and I want to remove "image" attribute.
{
"properties": {
"docker": {

"value": "ei"
},
"image": {

}
I tried as below
var obj = JObject.Parse("json");
obj["properties"]["docker"]["image"].Remove();
But I am getting exception

C# Select From Json List Using Where Clause [duplicate]

Find an item in a list by LINQ
(14 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a json list and I have a type named post. I want to use it for search.
I want to get a list or one object with a query. Is that possible ?
Example part of json
{
"Post": [
{
"id":"22",
"text":"Dream Big",
"img":"a2ca3cf9-664e-4d92-80f1-df20e971b7c0.jpg",
"catid":"12",
"meta_title":"Dream Big Design",
"content":"some text",
"user_id":"5556",
}
{
"id":"24",
"text":"Handmade Resin",
"img":"423233-971b7c0.jpg",
"catid":"7",
"meta_title":"Handmade Resin",
"content":"some text",
"user_id":"1256",
}
]
}
I want to select id = 23 or name like 'handmade'.
I tried with this code but it did not work
string json = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path + "output.json");
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Post post = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Post>(json);

you can use JObject in the C# that can parse the Json object and then you can fire your Select query.
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(your Json object in string);

Parse JSON in Knockout into Dictionary Key Value in C#

I have following knockout text binding :
<td><strong><span id="texthotelcode" data-bind="text: parameters"
/></strong></td>
data binding of text: which returns data: {"id1":"2Z94","id2":"9861"}
now I want to convert them from this JSON into Key and value in Dictionary in C# as string, string
Any idea for this case thanks

.net can deserialize JSON in the following form into c# dictionary:
dict: [
{ "Key": "id1", "Value": "2Z94" },
{ "Key": "id2", "Value": "9861" }
]
So you can use a function like this one to convert your object:
function toDictionary(data) {
var dict = [];
for (var prop in data)
dict.push({ "Key": prop, "Value": data[prop] });
return dict;
}
Then just send this object to the server.

Deserialize a Dynamic JSON Array on C# WebForm

Hi I am generating a JSON on my API that I am trying to use on codebehind C# in my web application but I cannot deserialize well.
My JSON has an object with JSON arrays and the element inside the array are dynamic so I cannot create a fixed class with those items becuase my JSON can have N ITEMS.
{
"MAINOBJET": [{
"ITEM1": "23800",
"ITEM2": "Dahl; Police",
"ITEM3": "test#test.net"
},
{
"ITEM1": "23802",
"ITEM2": "Steve ; Police",
"ITEM3": "test2#test.net"
}]
}
So how can I deserialize it to a DataTable, list or a Dictionary?
Thank you

here you can do some thing like the following this example should be able to get you started .. replace the structure / example with your Jason Text
lets say that my JSON Script looks like the following
{
"some_number": 253.541,
"date_time": "2012-26-12T11:53:09Z",
"serial_number": "SN8675309"
"more_data": {
"field1": 1.0
"field2": "hello JSON Deserializer"
}
}
assign you JSON jsonText to a variable and pass it to the following C# Code
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
var jsonSerialization = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var dictObj = jsonSerialization.Deserialize<Dictionary<string,dynamic>>(jsonText);
Console.WriteLine(dictObj["some_number"]); //outputs 253.541
Console.WriteLine(dictObj["more_data"]["field2"]); //outputs hello JSON Deserializer
