Having issues reading json to string

Have tried several methods described but not winning. Here is the value ofthe var valuesEntity (this is from Luis integration into bot framework).
I have not found a way to interrogate this var so that I get a variable with the value of Venue - in this case Bakery.
{{
"$instance": {
"Venue": [
{
"startIndex": 13,
"endIndex": 19,
"text": "bakery",
"type": "Venue"
}
]
},
"Venue": [
[
"BAKERY"
]
]
}}

"Venue" is an string[][], Venue[0][0], should return "BAKERY".
This would be a valid json:
{
"$instance": {
"Venue": [{
"startIndex": 13,
"endIndex": 19,
"text": "bakery",
"type": "Venue"
}]
},
"Venue": [
[
"BAKERY"
]
]
}
You can check for valid json on https://jsonlint.com/

The key was to deserialize the Jason object to a Jason string.

how to get values from script element

want to get some values from html script element with HTML Agility
Need to output these values : "KMN Gang Azet T-Shirt Fast" and "https://www.30grad.shop/item/images/11296/3000x3000/azet-kmngang-shirt-fastlife.jpg"
I already got the script element but can't get the values.

C# code
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDocument = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
htmlDocument.LoadHtml(pagesourceCode);
var nodes = htmlDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//script");

As far as I know, you can't access Javascript code using Html Agility pack. It's for HTML itself.
In fact, let me rephrase it, you can access the body of a javascript which is enclosed in <script> tags, but you will not mine that data out of it as you have it.
You would probably need to serialize the object by stripping the function and variable declarations as then you'll be able to treat it as JSON. Alternatively you can use regex... but good luck with that with the provided structure.

parsing nested json array without labels in c#

I have a nested json array looking like this:
[
[
[
[1234.5 ,9876,5],
[1234.5 ,9876,5]
],
[
[1234.5 ,9876,5],
[1234.5 ,9876,5]
]
],
[
[
[1234.5 ,9876,5],
[1234.5 ,9876,5]
],
[
[1234.5 ,9876,5],
[1234.5 ,9876,5]
]
]
]
I already saw many posts with answers if you have named keys in objects. However I just have large, nested array's. How should you make objects which can store this in c#? The length of the array's can vary.

List<List<List<List<int>>>>

Thanks for the start #user2033402
Using the package "NewtonSoft" i got it working using the following line as an example:
var results = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<List<List<List<double>>>>>(nestedJsonarray);

How to handle spaces in JSON keys when serializing to XML?

I'm using Json.NET in a .NET 4.0 application in order to convert a JSON RESTful response into XML. I am running into issues converting JSON into XML if a JSON child key has a space.
So far, I am able to convert most JSON responses.
Here are example responses along with the code which I am using to generate the XML.
{
num_reviews: "2",
page_id: "17816",
merchant_id: 7165
}
And here is the response which is causing an error:
[

}
]
So far, I have been considering on creating a mapping of the JSON data to a C# object and generating XML for that class. However, is there a way to keep this dynamic? Or is there a way to treat spaces as %20 encodings?

This question is same as how to validate JSON string before converting to XML in C#
If you have any further queries, please let me know.

You can call XmlConvert.EncodeName, which will escape any invalid characters using _s.
For example, a space would become _x0020_.

You cannot have an XMLElement Name with a space in it. You would need to replace the space with an Underscore or anyother element. If that is not feasible for you, try putting that value as an attribute for that Node.
I hope this makes sense.

Parse string using RegEx and C#

I have the following Regular Expression-
string s = "{\"data\": {\"words\": [{\"wordsText\": \"Three Elephants /d
in the jungle\"}]}}";
string[] words = s.Split('\\',':','[',']','{','}','"');
foreach (string word in words)
{
Console.WriteLine(word);
}
Which outputs-
data
words
wordsText
Three Elephants /d in the jungle
What is the best way to get rid of the first 3 lines in the output so that I only get the last line- Three Elephants /d in the jungle.
I believe if I were to write out all text after "wordsText\": this could be a possible method, any help is much appreciated.

You could use RegEx sure, but since that looks like JSON you would be better off using JSON.NET to parse that.
JObject o = JObject.Parse(#"{
""Stores"": [
""Lambton Quay"",
""Willis Street""
],
""Manufacturers"": [
{
""Name"": ""Acme Co"",
""Products"": [
{
""Name"": ""Anvil"",
""Price"": 50
}
]
},
{
""Name"": ""Contoso"",
""Products"": [
{
""Name"": ""Elbow Grease"",
""Price"": 99.95
},
{
""Name"": ""Headlight Fluid"",
""Price"": 4
}
]
}
]
}");
string name = (string)o.SelectToken("Manufacturers[0].Name");
// Acme Co
decimal productPrice = (decimal)o.SelectToken("Manufacturers[0].Products[0].Price");
// 50
string productName = (string)o.SelectToken("Manufacturers[1].Products[0].Name");
// Elbow Grease
See: Json.Net Select Token
This uses the JSON.NET Library.

I would use the Regex in C# your expressions for that would be like this
MatchCollection matchCtrls = Regex.Matches(pageText, #"Th(.*)e", RegexOptions.Singleline);
If you don't know what the text is going to be specifically then probably something like this
MatchCollection matchCtrls = Regex.Matches(pageText, #"": \(.*)\", RegexOptions.Singleline);
