c# parse nested JSON that doesn't use JSON arrays

c# parse nested JSON that doesn't use JSON arrays - c#

I have a nested json string, instead of using arrays the next level is another json structure. This creates a mess of deserializing using traditional methods.
Most other answers dealing with parsing json have clearly defined structures, and in most cases can be solved using online tools such as http://json2csharp.com/. But because this JSON doesn't use arrays properly I'm having trouble coming up with a solution to deserialize it.
For example:
{
"time":1516824466,
"global":{
"workers":1,
"hashrate":0
},
"algos":{
"scrypt-n":{
"workers":1,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
}
},
"pools":{
"garlicoin":{
"name":"garlicoin",
"symbol":"GRLC",
"algorithm":"scrypt-n",
"poolStats":{
"validShares":"22855",
"validBlocks":"3",
"invalidShares":"59",
"invalidRate":"0.0026",
"totalPaid":"296.42722209999999999"
},
"blocks":{
"pending":0,
"confirmed":2,
"orphaned":1
},
"workers":{
"Gf3ZXqhWKkm8qLhSHvyrawiCiooYeU9eQu":{
"shares":365.07991498000007,
"invalidshares":0,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
},
"Gz2Llan6hTkm8qLhSHh34awiCiooYe17heT":{
"shares":365.07991498000007,
"invalidshares":0,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
}
},
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"workerCount":1,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
}
}
}
I'm having trouble deserializing these two parts specifically:
"algos":{
"scrypt-n":{
"workers":1,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
}
},
"workers":{
"Gf3ZXqhWKkm8qLhSHvyrawiCiooYeU9eQu":{
"shares":365.07991498000007,
"invalidshares":0,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
},
"Gz2Llan6hTkm8qLhSHh34awiCiooYe17heT":{
"shares":365.07991498000007,
"invalidshares":0,
"hashrate":79752.92436043094,
"hashrateString":"79.75 KH"
}
},
The Code I've Tried
namespace pooldecode
{
public static class Serialize
{
public static string ToJson(this jsonDecode.Root self)
{
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(self, Converter.Settings);
}
}
public class Converter
{
public static readonly JsonSerializerSettings Settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
MetadataPropertyHandling = MetadataPropertyHandling.Ignore,
DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None,
};
}
public class jsonDecode
{
public static Root FromJson(string json) => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(json/*, Converter.Settings*/);
public partial class Root
{

}
}

Algos, Pools and Workers have named properties as childrens, you can't deserialize them as List<T> since they are Dictionary<string, T>,
Use these classes to deserialize:
public partial class Root
{
[JsonPropertyAttribute("time")] public long Time { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyAttribute("global")] public Global Global { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyAttribute("algos")] public Dictionary<string, Algo> Algos { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyAttribute("pools")] public Dictionary<string, Pool> Pools { get; set; }
}
public partial class Global

[JsonPropertyAttribute("workers")] public int Workers { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyAttribute("hashrate")] public long Hashrate { get; set; }

App is freezing when trying to deserialize Json string to object

I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. When debugging, I can step through each line, but when it hits the DeserializeObject line, the program doesn't do anything. I can no longer step over or do anything else with the program. No error messages are being thrown either.
[Command("stats")]
public async Task LookupMonsterStats(CommandContext ctx, string name)
{
string monstersUri = "https://www.dnd5eapi.co/api/monsters/";
var formatted = name.Replace(" ", "-");
string apiResponse = string.Empty;
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
using (var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(monstersUri + formatted))
{
apiResponse = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var monster = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Monster>(apiResponse);
}
}
await ctx.Channel.SendMessageAsync(apiResponse).ConfigureAwait(false);

As mentioned in a comment your class definition doesn't seem to match the JSON response, assuming you're using Visual Studio it's probably worth opening Debug / Windows / Exception Settings and make sure "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" is checked. Sometimes I've found stepping over in multi-threaded apps can produce unusual results after an exception.
When I pasted your code into LINQPad I got errors on several members you've defined as List<string> when the underlying type is more complex. What I normally do to avoid those errors is copy the raw json from a browser window to the clipboard and with a CS file open in Visual Studio do an Edit / Paste Special / Paste JSON as classes to automatically create the classes. After doing that I got the following that deserialized the data fine:
async Task Main()
{
await LookupMonsterStats("aboleth");
}
public async Task LookupMonsterStats(string name)
{
string monstersUri = "https://www.dnd5eapi.co/api/monsters/";
var formatted = name.Replace(" ", "-");
string apiResponse = string.Empty;
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())

apiResponse = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var monster = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Monster>(apiResponse);
monster.Dump();

Deserialize JSON with multi dimensional array on C# Webapi

I have a JSON with multidimensional array. I have no idea how to deserialize it on my c# model. I did a very simple way of deserialization which is not working. I need to know how to deserialize my JSON on more structural way.
This is my json data
{
"Access_point_result": [
{
"msg": {
"ap_eth_mac": {
"addr": "D8C7C8C0C7BE"
},
"ap_name": "1344-1-AL5",
"ap_group": "1344-hq",
"ap_model": "135",
"depl_mode": "DEPLOYMENT_MODE_CAMPUS",
"ap_ip_address": {
"af": "ADDR_FAMILY_INET",
"addr": "10.6.66.67",
"reboots": 1,
"rebootstraps": 2,
"managed_by": {
"af": "ADDR_FAMILY_INET",
"addr": "0.0.0.0"
},
"managed_by_key": "2e302bee0164cc154d1d266d8567ada44d49e77af82f4b5ccb",
"radios": {
"radio_bssid.addr": "D8.C7.C8.46.D8.10"
},
"is_master": true,
"ap_location": {
"ap_eth_mac": "D8C7C8C0C7BE",
"campus_id": "6F9DEC79839D458B9F148D16A46A353E",
"building_id": "83393A922FB249C1929B95393A2AAFDA",
"floor_id": "260BE76B0DD13E7AAF18EB3B47DD7F7B",
"longitude": -122.008,
"latitude": 37.4129,
"ap_x": 22.15,
"ap_y": 99.18
}
},
"ts": 1382046667
}
}
]
}
Below is my C# model
public class WifiDataAruba : BaseModel
{
public string APMACAddr { get; set; }
public string APName { get; set; }
public string APGroup { get; set; }
public string APModel { get; set; }
public string APDeplMode { get; set; }
public string APIPAddr { get; set; }
public int APReboots { get; set; }
public int APRebootStraps { get; set; }
public string APManagedBy { get; set; }
public string APManagedByKey { get; set; }
public string APRadios { get; set; }
public bool APMaster { get; set; }
public string APLocation { get; set; }
public string APMACAddr2 { get; set; }
public string APCampusID { get; set; }
public string APLocationID { get; set; }
public string APBuildingID { get; set; }
public string APFloorID { get; set; }
public double APLongtitude { get; set; }
public double APLatitude { get; set; }
public double X { get; set; }
public double Y { get; set; }
public DateTime ImportTimestamp { get; set; }
}
How can i make the break the deserialization much structural way?

you have to change your model to the following
public class ApEthMac
{
public string addr { get; set; }
}
public class ManagedBy
{
public string af { get; set; }
public string addr { get; set; }
}
public class Radios
{
public string __invalid_name__radio_bssid.addr { get; set; }
}
public class ApLocation
{
public string ap_eth_mac { get; set; }
public string campus_id { get; set; }
public string building_id { get; set; }
public string floor_id { get; set; }
public double longitude { get; set; }
public double latitude { get; set; }
public double ap_x { get; set; }
public double ap_y { get; set; }
}
public class ApIpAddress
{
public string af { get; set; }
public string addr { get; set; }
public int reboots { get; set; }
public int rebootstraps { get; set; }
public ManagedBy managed_by { get; set; }
public string managed_by_key { get; set; }
public Radios radios { get; set; }
public bool is_master { get; set; }
public ApLocation ap_location { get; set; }
}
public class Msg
{
public ApEthMac ap_eth_mac { get; set; }
public string ap_name { get; set; }
public string ap_group { get; set; }
public string ap_model { get; set; }
public string depl_mode { get; set; }
public ApIpAddress ap_ip_address { get; set; }
public int ts { get; set; }
}
public class AccessPointResult
{
public Msg msg { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<AccessPointResult> Access_point_result { get; set; }
}
and your webapi method should look like the following
public void Post(RootObject rootObject)
Note
that you have to add camelcaseconvention in your webapi config if you want to change your c# model to PascalCase
Here how your method should look like in your WebaApiConfig
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Web API configuration and services
EnableCrossSiteRequests(config);
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter
.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver =
new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}

Model
public class ApEthMac
{
public string addr { get; set; }
}
public class ManagedBy
{
public string af { get; set; }
public string addr { get; set; }
}
public class Radios
{
public string __invalid_name__radio_bssid.addr { get; set; }
}
public class ApLocation
{
public string ap_eth_mac { get; set; }
public string campus_id { get; set; }
public string building_id { get; set; }
public string floor_id { get; set; }
public double longitude { get; set; }
public double latitude { get; set; }
public double ap_x { get; set; }
public double ap_y { get; set; }
}
public class ApIpAddress
{
public string af { get; set; }
public string addr { get; set; }
public int reboots { get; set; }
public int rebootstraps { get; set; }
public ManagedBy managed_by { get; set; }
public string managed_by_key { get; set; }
public Radios radios { get; set; }
public bool is_master { get; set; }
public ApLocation ap_location { get; set; }
}
public class Msg
{
public ApEthMac ap_eth_mac { get; set; }
public string ap_name { get; set; }
public string ap_group { get; set; }
public string ap_model { get; set; }
public string depl_mode { get; set; }
public ApIpAddress ap_ip_address { get; set; }
public int ts { get; set; }
}
public class AccessPointResult
{
public Msg msg { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<AccessPointResult> Access_point_result { get; set; }
}
then DeserializeObject
RootObject rootObject= new RootObject();
rootObject= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonAgents);

Deserialize JSON to C# Object - No Data being deserialized

Found an odd issue when trying to deserialize a JSON string into a C# Object. It "seems" to perform the operation successfully (as in it does not throw any exception etc), however the outputted POCO contains does not contain any data from the JSON string, it only contains type default data (nulls,"", 0 etc). I have tried this process with other JSON and it works fine.

Look like you JSON string is not in correct format that you are trying to deserialize. For example i have not find show property in the C# class but it present in JSON.

So this issue I couldn't figure out in the night or early in the morning - it took me till this afternoon until I realised that I was had the wrong JSON!!, so no wonder it wasn't working! I got mixed up with a few different apis that provided JSON. Thanks to those who had pointed out that the class looks wrong, made me double check my code and realise the simplicity of this issue. Kinda needed some rubber ducking to spot the problem. Cheers

ServiceStack JsonServiceClient Silently Failing When Deserializing

I am working on an integration with the Expedia API. I am relatively new to ServiceStack but have managed pretty well so far, however, I've hit an issue with the deserialization of a JSON response from the API which seems to be failing despite having JsConfig.ThrowOnDeserializationError enabled.
JsConfig.Reset();
JsConfig.ThrowOnDeserializationError = true;
var availability = _client.Get<ExpediaHotelRoomAvailability>("avail?" + querystring);
In order to see the API response I am working with please use the following request:
GET http://dev.api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/avail?minorRev=26&cid=55505&apiKey=cbrzfta369qwyrm9t5b8y8kf&customerUserAgent=Mozilla%2f5.0+(Windows+NT+6.3%3b+WOW64)+AppleWebKit%2f537.36+(KHTML%2c+like+Gecko)+Chrome%2f35.0.1916.114+Safari%2f537.36&customerIpAddress=%3a%3a1&hotelId=135857&arrivalDate=06%2f07%2f2014&departureDate=06%2f20%2f2014&includeDetails=true&includeRoomImages=true&room1=2 HTTP/1.1

A large part of the response is de-serialized fine except for all of the rate information which I am really interested in. No exceptions are thrown during the deserialization so I have little to go on in terms of tracking down the exact problem. To be more specific let's take the ChargeableRateInfo - all values contained within are either null or zero.
Here is my class I am trying to deserialize the response to:

Could this possibly have something to do with the # symbols in the JSON and if so how do I get around this?

You can handle the # symbols named fields by providing their name using a [DataMember(Name=...)] attribute.
Unfortunately this mean you have to provide a [DataContract] attribute on your DTO, which means all the properties then become opt-in. So all properties will need to have [DataMember] to be included, which makes the DTO less readable.
So your NightlyRate DTO becomes:
[DataContract]
public class NightlyRate
{
[DataMember(Name="#baseRate")]
public string baseRate { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="#promo")]
public string promo { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="#rate")]
public string rate { get; set; }
}
And NightlyRatesPerRoom would be:
[DataContract]
public class NightlyRatesPerRoom
{
[DataMember]
public List<NightlyRate> NightlyRate { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="#size")]
public int size { get; set; }
}
Obviously you will have to mark up the other DTOs as appropriate. I hope that helps.

Here is the code I use to convert to the object.
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (PersonsearchVM)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(PersonsearchVM));
Is there any other wat to generate the object and parse?

I think you have some invalid characters in your JSON string. Run it through a validator and add the necessary escape characters.
http://jsonlint.com/

You aren't casting it to the right object. Cast it to the type RootObject.
Eg
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (RootObject)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(RootObject));
The code that json 2 csharp creates is this:
public class SearchParameters
{
public string key { get; set; }

The following function will convert JSON into a C# class where T is the class type.
public static T Deserialise<T>(string json)
{
T obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
obj = (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms); //
return obj;
}
}
You need a reference to the System.Runtime.Serialization.json namespace.
The function is called in the following manner;
calendarList = Deserialise<GoogleCalendarList>(calendarListString);
calendarlist being the C# class and calendarListString the string containing the JSON.
