I'm a little confused on the best way to parse the following JSON structure.
{
"featured": {
"id": 15,
"title": "media 1 -> 7",
"description": "test1",
"short_description": "test1",
"rating_avg": 0.0,
"image": "//d25xdrj7gd7wz1.cloudfront.net/covers/1603/1452024324.jpg"
},
"categories": [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "category 0",
"description": null,
"position": 0,
"media": [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "media 0 -> 0",
"description": "test1",
"short_description": "test1",
"rating_avg": 0.0,
"image": "//d25xdrj7gd7wz1.cloudfront.net/covers/1603/1452024324.jpg",
"category_media": {
"position": 0,
"category_id": 1,
"media_id": 1,
"id": 1
}
}, ...
Basically I have an array of categories which contains an array of medias (the featured is for something else)
I am looking to return List and the Category object contains a List
and I created some models:
public class Category
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public List<Media> MediaList { get; set; }
}
public class Media
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string ShortDescription { get; set; }
public string Image { get; set; }
}
..and I am supposed to use Newtonsoft?
I looked at the following example: Deserializing Partial JSON Fragments but I would think I don't need to convert from JToken -> Category ... etc. In other words, I would think it would be easy to just return my List.
I'm new to LINQ (I come from a python background) so I'm getting to know C#
Use This as your Model
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;
public partial class JsonModel
{
[JsonProperty("featured")]
public Featured Featured { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("categories")]
public List<Category> Categories { get; set; }
}
public partial class Category
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public long Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("title")]
public string Title { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("description")]
public object Description { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("position")]
public long Position { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("media")]
public List<Featured> Media { get; set; }
}
public partial class Featured
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public long Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("title")]
public string Title { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("description")]
public string Description { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("short_description")]
public string ShortDescription { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("rating_avg")]
public long RatingAvg { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("image")]
public string Image { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("category_media", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
public CategoryMedia CategoryMedia { get; set; }
}
public partial class CategoryMedia
{
[JsonProperty("position")]
public long Position { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("category_id")]
public long CategoryId { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("media_id")]
public long MediaId { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("id")]
public long Id { get; set; }
}
}
Then do this in your Class:
var info = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonModel>(json);
var featured = info.Featured;
var categories = info.Categories;
You don't need LINQ in this case unless you want to change the data structure. To parse json file to list you have to create a class that matches a structure of your file, like:
class DataModel
{
public Featured Featured { get; set; }
public List<Category> Categories { get;set; }
}
Also, please pay attention that you need to use attribute [JsonProperty(PropertyName="fieldName")] if property name in json is different from property name in class.
And finally, to parse the data use the following row:
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DataModel>(jsonString);
Act as follow:
Update your models with:
public class Category
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public List<Media> Media { get; set; }
}
public class Media
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string ShortDescription { get; set; }
public string Image { get; set; }
}
public class Featured
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string Short_Description { get; set; }
}
And then make a model same as your JSON structure:
public class YOUR_MODEL
{
public Featured Featured { get; set; }
public List<Category> Categories { get;set; }
}
And then Descrilize your JSON to your object:
YOUR_MODELresults = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YOUR_MODEL>(YOUR_JSON);
To get your model you can use tool like :
https://jsonutils.com/ or http://json2csharp.com/
In case of need you can also validate json syntax with : https://jsonlint.com/ to get detailed errors.
With a slightly modified version of your example, I get :
public class CategoryMedia
{
public int position { get; set; }
public int category_id { get; set; }
public int media_id { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
}
public class Medium
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string short_description { get; set; }
public double rating_avg { get; set; }
public string image { get; set; }
public CategoryMedia category_media { get; set; }
}
public class Category
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public object description { get; set; }
public int position { get; set; }
public IList<Medium> media { get; set; }
}
public class Featured
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string short_description { get; set; }
public double rating_avg { get; set; }
public string image { get; set; }
public IList<Category> categories { get; set; }
}
public class Example
{
public Featured featured { get; set; }
}
It spares a lot of time for creating models and it allows you to verify that you don't have typos in field names.
With this, you just have to deserialize your JSON sample to "Example" class, using the library of your choice. Newtonsoft Json is a very efficient classical !
Newtonsoft is the standard for doing work like this. So lets look at the best way to do this. First lets start with your json format and fix it so you can use the online tools available to create a good model structure:
[
{
"featured": {
"id": 15,
"title": "media 1 -> 7",
"description": "test1",
"short_description": "test1",
"rating_avg": 0.0,
"image": "//d25xdrj7gd7wz1.cloudfront.net/covers/1603/1452024324.jpg"
},
"categories": [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "category 0",
"description": null,
"position": 0,
"media": [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "media 0 -> 0",
"description": "test1",
"short_description": "test1",
"rating_avg": 0.0,
"image": "//d25xdrj7gd7wz1.cloudfront.net/covers/1603/1452024324.jpg",
"category_media": {
"position": 0,
"category_id": 1,
"media_id": 1,
"id": 1
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
Now if you plug that into http://json2csharp.com/, it will output a good model structure:
public class Featured
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string short_description { get; set; }
public double rating_avg { get; set; }
public string image { get; set; }
}
public class CategoryMedia
{
public int position { get; set; }
public int category_id { get; set; }
public int media_id { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
}
public class Medium
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string short_description { get; set; }
public double rating_avg { get; set; }
public string image { get; set; }
public CategoryMedia category_media { get; set; }
}
public class Category
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public object description { get; set; }
public int position { get; set; }
public List<Medium> media { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Featured featured { get; set; }
public List<Category> categories { get; set; }
}
Feel free to rename RootObject So now lets look are how you can deserialize your json into your model objects using Newtonsoft:
Firstly you need to get your json file into a string format, so lets say its a file on your computer or in your project, there is many ways to retrieve it, either using Assembly, or Directory methods. Once you have access to your json file, read out the contents and then using Newtonsoft method for deserialising:
var myString = File.ReadAllText(path)
var myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(myString);
And thats it:P

I'm trying to deserialize a dynamic JSON (from API) to the correct objects, however some items do not have a type. In the example JSON, the "fulfillment" property has the values "F1" and "F2" and could have more (problem one). Within them, item properties have products order information, but do not have an item type, starting with the product name (ie "03.64.0005_11_10") that can be thousands of options (problem two).
How do I deserialise this JSON to fill in the correct objects? I tried RestCharp, Json.net, but I always get stuck on products property that I can not read and fill dynamically.
I tried the answers below, but no success:

If the problem is just that the keys are dynamic but the structure of those dynamically-keyed objects are well-defined, then you can use a Dictionary<string, T> (instead of a List<T>) to handle the dynamic keys. From your sample JSON it looks like this is the case. So you would need a dictionary for the fulfillments at the root level and the items within the fulfillments. Your classes should look like this:
public class RootObject
{
public BillingAddress billingAddress { get; set; }
public string clientId { get; set; }
public List<Document> documents { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, Fulfillment> fulfillments { get; set; }
public DateTime createdAt { get; set; }
public DateTime updatedAt { get; set; }
}
public class BillingAddress
{
public string zip { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string number { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string firstName { get; set; }
public Telephone telephone { get; set; }
public string neighbourhood { get; set; }
}
public class Telephone
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string number { get; set; }
}
public class Document
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string number { get; set; }
}
public class Fulfillment
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string orderId { get; set; }
public string channelId { get; set; }
public string clientId { get; set; }
public string locationId { get; set; }
public Operator #operator { get; set; }
public string ownership { get; set; }
public Shipment shipment { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public bool enablePrePicking { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, Item> items { get; set; }
}
public class Operator
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class Shipment
{
public string method { get; set; }
public string carrierName { get; set; }
}
public class Item
{
public string sku { get; set; }
public int quantity { get; set; }
public string stockType { get; set; }
public int orderedQuantity { get; set; }
public int returnedQuantity { get; set; }
public int canceledQuantity { get; set; }
public string itemType { get; set; }
public bool presale { get; set; }
public bool enablePicking { get; set; }
}
Then deserialize the JSON into the RootObject class:
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
Here is a working demo: https://dotnetfiddle.net/xReEQh
Yea that structure really isn't meant to work like that with JSON. Looks like the fulfillments property should have been an array of those objects instead of having those numbered properties. Kind of looks like this is being auto-generated from an EDI file or something, even with that most of the good conversion tools are smart enough not to do this.
Option A: See if whoever is generating that file for you can correct their process.
Option B: If that is not possible, make your fulfillments property a Dictionary type where fulfillment is the class you have for that inner fulfillment object. That would then deserialize it "properly" and would give you a dictionary you can reference using the "F1" key up to "FN" but ideally you would create a list or array from your dictionary when using it. Even if order mattered you always have the id field to sort by later.
// Property on you deserialization object
public Dictionary<string, Fullfillment> fulfillmentDictionary {get; set;}
// Creating the list for easier use of the data
List<Fullfillment> fulfillments = fulfillmentDictionary.Values.ToList();
Similar logic would apply to your item lists.
For JSON messages with dynamic keys (i.e. changing from message to message) you should start with decoding into dynamic C# objects. One decoded (most JSON parsers support it) you enumerate every dynamic property, then convert its value into a POCO like Fulfillment, Item, etc (or just continue to work with the dynamic object).
Here is an example that works with your JSON https://dotnetfiddle.net/U5NfzC
In my c# project, I would like to access specific information (POI name and distance) inside a complex and nested JSON.
This JSON is the result of an Azure Maps API call.
I have tried to deserialise it into an object. But this JSON is too complex and I am unable to do it.
What is the best way to extract the information I need ?

Step 1:
Parse your JSON in a JSON parser website such as https://jsonparser.org
This will help you understand the content and how it will be translated as an object.
For example, your JSON string gives this result :
Step2:
Open the query tool of this website, this will help you find out the object path to the information you need.
For example, for your JSON string, to access the POI name :
Step 3:
In your Visual Studio project, install the NuGet package: Newtonsoft.Json and Microsoft.CSharp in your shared library.
If you are processing the JSON in a separate library, please also install the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package in the main project.
Step 4:
If JSONstring is your JSON string :
using Newtonsoft.Json;
dynamic NewObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(JSONstring);
string Name = NewObject.results[0].poi.name;
string Distance = NewObject.results[0].dist;
You have at least 2 solutions possible:
Either you create classes that mirror the content of the json you are expecting
public class MyJSON
{
public Summary summary { get; set; }
public List<Result> results { get; set; }
...
}
public class Summary
{
public string query { get; set; }
...
}
Then you could deserialize using Newtonsoft.Json
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyJSON>(jsonstring);
Or you could directly deserialize to a dynamic object and access the properties directly by name.
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonstring);
string query = data[0].summary.query;
Solution 1 requires you to create the classes first, but is faster and more secure to access (less prone to wrong naming, or data structure changes)
Solution 2 is much more volatile and flexible, you just access what you need. But you could get exceptions if you try to access properties that do not exist in the json object.
i converted your json via json2csharp
then you can use Newtonsoft to deserialize them
RootObject root= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(JSONstring)

I've this json:
{

"bookmaker_urls": {
"13": [{
"link": "http://www.bet365.com/home/?affiliate=365_179024",
"name": "Bet 365"
}]
},
"block_service_id": "competition_summary_block_competitionmatchessummary",
"round_id": "36003",
"outgroup": "",
"view": "1",
"competition_id": "13"
}
I've inserted this on this tool: http://json2csharp.com/
this will return:
public class __invalid_type__13
{
public string link { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class BookmakerUrls
{
public List<__invalid_type__13> __invalid_name__13 { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int page { get; set; }
public BookmakerUrls bookmaker_urls { get; set; }
public string block_service_id { get; set; }
public int round_id { get; set; }
public bool outgroup { get; set; }
public int view { get; set; }
public int competition_id { get; set; }
}
why there is an invalid type?
13 is not a valid property name in .NET, and the tool you're using seems to try to map each JSON property to .NET Class property.
What you probably want is bookmaker_urls to be a dictionary:
public class BookmakerUrl
{
public string link { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int page { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, List<BookmakerUrl>> bookmaker_urls { get; set; }
public string block_service_id { get; set; }
public int round_id { get; set; }
public bool outgroup { get; set; }
public int view { get; set; }
public int competition_id { get; set; }
}
The generator generates the name of properties and types from the name of properties in the Json.
There is a property "13" in the Json. A name starting with a digit would not be a valid name in c#.
So, the generator just adds the prefix "invalid_name" or "invalid_type" to the generated names. This does not mean that there was any problem or that you cannot use the generated code.
How can I convert my json-string to class
this is my json

And I do these step, but nothing happens
JObject json1 = JObject.Parse(strMyJson);
_CommentAdmindto flight = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<_CommentAdmindto>(json1.ToString());
_CommentAdmindto deserializedProduct = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<_CommentAdmindto>(json);
_CommentAdmindto deserializedProduct1 = ConvertJsonToClass<_CommentAdmindto>(strMyJson);
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
_CommentAdmindto p = (_CommentAdmindto)serializer.Deserialize(new JTokenReader(strMyJson), typeof(_CommentAdmindto));
And here is my class and function:
public static T ConvertJsonToClass<T>( string json)
{
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
return serializer.Deserialize<T>(json);
}
}
public class _CommentAdmindto
{
public long dateTime { get; set; }
public IQueryable<CommentDtoAdmin> list { get; set; }
}
public class CommentDtoAdmin
{
public long UserId { get; set; }
public string UID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Sender { get; set; }
public string Answer { get; set; }
public string Comment { get; set; }
public string ProductTitle { get; set; }
public long CommentId { get; set; }
public string Logo { get; set; }
public long Date { get; set; }
public long AnswerDate { get; set; }
public bool AnswerEdit { get; set; }
public bool CommentEdit { get; set; }
}
Your model should be similar to this (For invalid c# names, you can use JsonProperty attribute) :
public class Reported
{
[JsonProperty("$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public int BlockerId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public int Date { get; set; }
public int ForfeitCount { get; set; }
public int RewardCount { get; set; }
}
public class List
{
[JsonProperty("$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Sender { get; set; }
public string Answer { get; set; }
public string Comment { get; set; }
public object ProductTitle { get; set; }
public int CommentId { get; set; }
public string Logo { get; set; }
public int Date { get; set; }
public int AnswerDate { get; set; }
public bool AnswerEdit { get; set; }
public bool CommentEdit { get; set; }
public int ForfeitCount { get; set; }
public int RewardCount { get; set; }
public int ThisCountReport { get; set; }
public List<Reported> Reported { get; set; }
public int Gem { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
[JsonProperty("$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public int dateTime { get; set; }
public List<List> list { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
[JsonProperty("$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public Result Result { get; set; }
public string StatusCode { get; set; }
public object Description { get; set; }
}
Now you can deserialize as
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonstring);
BTW: http://json2csharp.com/ can help to guess your model when working with json.
You seem to be trying to deserialize in a lot of different ways but you don't have a full structure to actually match the json. You miss the outer class (representing the full object) and at least Newtonsoft.Json cannot deserialize to an IQueryable so I changed that to IEnumerable.
string strMyJson = "{\"$id\":\"1\",\"Result\":{\"$id\":\"2\",\"dateTime\":23826985,\"list\":[{\"$id\":\"3\",\"UserId\":302,\"UID\":\"302_UID\",\"Title\":\"شیدکو\",\"Sender\":\"شیدکو\",\"Answer\":\"\",\"Comment\":\"test 2\",\"ProductTitle\":null,\"CommentId\":77,\"Logo\":\"http://www.domain.com/Commercial/User/302/Logo/tmpF0BF.jpg\",\"Date\":24307078,\"AnswerDate\":-2123656662,\"AnswerEdit\":false,\"CommentEdit\":false,\"ForfeitCount\":0,\"RewardCount\":0,\"ThisCountReport\":2,\"Reported\":[{\"$id\":\"4\",\"BlockerId\":355,\"Title\":\"Ù…Øتوای غیر اخلاقی\",\"Date\":-19527396,\"ForfeitCount\":0,\"RewardCount\":0},{\"$id\":\"5\",\"BlockerId\":355,\"Title\":\"Ù…Øتوای غیر مرتبط\",\"Date\":-19527382,\"ForfeitCount\":0,\"RewardCount\":0}],\"Gem\":0},{\"$id\":\"6\",\"UserId\":302,\"UID\":\"302_UID\",\"Title\":\"شیدکو\",\"Sender\":\"شیدکو\",\"Answer\":\"\",\"Comment\":\"test 2\",\"ProductTitle\":null,\"CommentId\":77,\"Logo\":\"http://www.domain.com/Commercial/User/302/Logo/tmpF0BF.jpg\",\"Date\":24307078,\"AnswerDate\":-2123656662,\"AnswerEdit\":false,\"CommentEdit\":false}],\"StatusCode\":\"Created\",\"Description\":null}}";
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Wrapper>(strMyJson);
with classes looking like this:
public class Wrapper
{
public _CommentAdmindto Result { get; set; }
}
public class _CommentAdmindto
{
public long dateTime { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<CommentDtoAdmin> list { get; set; }
}
CommentDtoAdmin is looking the same.
Though I must say that this only helps you with the deserialization.
Firstly, the $id" properties are synthetic properties added by Json.NET to track and preserve multiple references to the same object. For details, see PreserveReferencesHandling setting.
Thus, if you temporarily remove the "$id" properties, you can upload your JSON to http://json2csharp.com/ and get the following data model:
public class Reported
{
public int BlockerId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public int Date { get; set; }
public int ForfeitCount { get; set; }
public int RewardCount { get; set; }
}
public class CommentDtoAdmin
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Sender { get; set; }
public string Answer { get; set; }
public string Comment { get; set; }
public object ProductTitle { get; set; }
public int CommentId { get; set; }
public string Logo { get; set; }
public int Date { get; set; }
public int AnswerDate { get; set; }
public bool AnswerEdit { get; set; }
public bool CommentEdit { get; set; }
public int ForfeitCount { get; set; }
public int RewardCount { get; set; }
public int ThisCountReport { get; set; }
public List<Reported> Reported { get; set; }
public int Gem { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public int dateTime { get; set; }
public List<CommentDtoAdmin> list { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Result Result { get; set; }
public string StatusCode { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
I then modified the returned model as follows:
I used the name CommentDtoAdmin for the list type.
I set the type of the Description property to string.
Now your JSON can be deserialized and re-serialized as follows:
var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects,
};
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json1, settings);
var json2 = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(root, Formatting.Indented, settings);
Note that Json.NET has no built-in logic for deserializing the interface IQueryable<T> to a concrete type, so I had to leave the property as public List<CommentDtoAdmin> list { get; set; }. You can always generate a queryable from the list using AsQueryable():
var queryable = root.Result.list.AsQueryable();
Sample fiddle.
I think you json string does not have correct syntax. It looks like a ']' (end of Array) and a final '}' is missing.
That's what the Visual Studio editor told me when making a json file out of your string after removing all the '\'
How should my C# sharp object look like, I would like to deserialize the following JSON string to a C# object.
{
"PersonId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"Name": "XXXXXXXX",
"HobbiesCollection":
{"Hobby":
[
{
"type": "RUNNING",
"id": 44,
"description": "sprinting and sprinting?"
},
{
"type": "RUNNING",
"id": 45,
"description": "jogging and jogging"
}
]
}
}
Here is what is generated in VS2013
public class Rootobject
{
public string PersonId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Hobbiescollection HobbiesCollection { get; set; }
}
public class Hobbiescollection
{
public Hobby[] Hobby { get; set; }
}
public class Hobby
{
public string type { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
}
You can use VS2012/2013 feature Edit/Paste Special/Paste JSON As Classes to simplify this process.
There is a online tool you can make C# class from your String
JSON to Csharp
public class Hobby
{
public string type { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
}
public class HobbiesCollection
{
public List<Hobby> Hobby { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string PersonId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public HobbiesCollection HobbiesCollection { get; set; }
}
