Unable to Deserialize Json downloaded from a URL

I am trying to deserialize the JSON downloaded from the following site downloaded as RawData
Json from the Site
but following error is being thrown
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type '' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
I tried using following methods
Root[] roots= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root[]>(jsonString);
and
var roots = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Root>>(jsonString);
I used following class
public class Root
{
public List<object> posts { get; set; }
public List<Person> persons { get; set; }
public List<Organization> organizations { get; set; }
public Meta meta { get; set; }
public List<Membership> memberships { get; set; }
public List<Event> events { get; set; }
public List<Area> areas { get; set; }
}
Following is the example JSON

Can any one please help me in doing that. Thanks.

Your json is not an array of roots. The json is a single object with multiple nested objects inside a single root.
{
"posts": [
],
"persons": [
{ "birth_date":
}
Since it's not returning an array of objects, you need to deserialize to a singular root.
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(jsonString);

Performing an update on objects from an array by using object own values

Having a collection sampled by next:
{
"_id": {

{

]
}
]
}
]
}
In order to edit models items by adding a new subdocument with next structure:
"valid": {
"isValid": true,
"currentName": [value from name field]
}
and remove field name
Almost achieved that by using Aggregations:
var dineInOptionsDefinition =
BsonDocument.Parse("{ isValid: 5, currentName: '$specs.name'}");
var addNewFieldsDefinition = new BsonDocument
{
{ "$addFields", new BsonDocument
{
{
"specs.models.valid", dineInOptionsDefinition
}
}
}
};
var t1 = collection
.Aggregate()
.Match(filterDefinition)
.AppendStage<BsonDocument>(addNewFieldsDefinition)
.Merge(collection);
The problem I'm facing is the value for currentName - as result it's an array of concatenated name fields values. Any clue how to get the value from the current document field value?

Deserialize Complex Json in C# using Json.net

I have some complex JSon that I am trying to parse into something meaningful. I'm attempting to deserialize using C# Json.net but I can't get the values that I need. What I need is the value from every ColData node except those in a "summary" section. I am able to deserialize into an object using but I am stuck there.

// Deserialize to object
var rootObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ProfitLoss.Rootobject>( pandltext );
I've tried querying a JContainer like is mentioned in this post. I've tried deserlializing a fragment like is mentioned in the documentation and I've tried using linq as mentioned here in the documentation. So far all of my efforts have met varying degrees of "success" but none have yielded the values I'm trying to get. Eventually this data will be bound to a WPF DataGrid for viewing.
Edit:
Added entire Json file
These are a couple attempts to get something, but I run into null values in both cases.
// This always returns null
var results2 = doc.Descendants()
.OfType<JObject>()
.Where( x => x[ "value" ] != null );
// This gives me a null exception error
var doc1 = ( JContainer ) o[ "Rows" ];
foreach ( var row in rootObj.Rows.Row )
{
// Get a null exception
foreach ( var row2 in row.Rows.Row )
{
Console.WriteLine( row2.ToString() );
}
}
Edit 2:
Using what #Eser gave as a starting point, I am able to get a list of values, but unfortunately it's just a list of values. Instead of getting something like
"Design income", "975.00"
"Discounts given", "-30.50"
I get
"Design income"
"975"
"Discounts given"
"-30.50"
Here is the code I'm using to get a list of values:
var jObj = JObject.Parse( pandltext );
var results = jObj.SelectTokens( "$..Rows.Row[?(#.type == 'Data')]..value" ).ToList();

var jObj = JObject.Parse(json);
var colData = jObj.SelectTokens("$..ColData")
.Except(jObj.SelectTokens("$..Summary.ColData"))
.ToList();
EDIT
foreach(var item in colData)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join("=", item.Select(x => x["value"])));
}
or
var finalList = colData.Select(item => item.Select(x => (string)x["value"]).ToList())
.ToList();

Deploy IIS Website with CloudFormation template

I have a Visual Studio (C#) deployment package (.zip) that I have pushed up to my S3 storage.
I want to run my CloudFormation script and have it create an instance of an IIS server (I have the script for this) and then deploy the Visual Studio web site to it from the S3 storage.
I'm looking for an example of the temple json that would do that

I have a template that does something similar to what you are looking for. Below is a template that I use. It may be more than you need, because it has an auto scaling group, but it will get you started. Basically, you need the IAM user to interact with cloud formation. The script in the UserData starts cf-init, which does the stuff in the metadata section.

I havent tried it myself, but this post, on the AWS site, Using Amazon CloudFront with ASP.NET Apps maybe somewhere to start.
