github api get commits and commiters

I am trying to get the list of commiters
In beginning I ask GitHub API (v3) to get repositories:
https://api.github.com/users/{userName}/repos
ok, got some list, and I got there repository name, which I want to use to get all commits
https://api.github.com/repos/{userName}/{repoName}/commits
the address is correct, I get some information, but...
I don't know how to create classes, I don't understand this JSON structure
see the example on https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/commits/
its something like this:
[0]
{
"sha",
"commit":{
"commiter":{
"name",
"email",
}
}
}
so... the commit class should have commit...?
I have tried something like this:
the Commit class
[DataContract(Name="commits")]
public class Commit
{
[DataMember(Name="sha")]
public string Sha{get;set;}
[DataMember(Name="commiter")]
public Commiter Commiter{get;set;}
}
and the commiter class:
[DataContract(Name="commiter")]
public class Commiter
{
[DataMember(Name="name")]
public string Name{get;set;}
[DataMember(Name="email")]
public string Email {get;set;}
[DataMember(Name="date")]
public string Date{get;set;}
[DataMember(Name="message")]
public string Message{get;set;}
}
but the only result when I ask for commits is the SHA field from Commit class, the committer is always null
can someone help me :)?

For generate my POCO class I always use :
http://json2csharp.com/
It's automatic.
For your API it's :
public class Author
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public DateTime date { get; set; }
}
public class Committer
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }

}
public class Tree
{
public string sha { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
}
public class Verification
{
public bool verified { get; set; }
public string reason { get; set; }
public string signature { get; set; }
public string payload { get; set; }
}
public class Commit
{
public Author author { get; set; }
public Committer committer { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public Tree tree { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public int comment_count { get; set; }
public Verification verification { get; set; }
}
public class Author2
{
public string login { get; set; }

}
public class Committer2
{
public string login { get; set; }
public int id { get; set; }
public string node_id { get; set; }
public string avatar_url { get; set; }
public string gravatar_id { get; set; }

public Author2 author { get; set; }
public Committer2 committer { get; set; }
public List<Parent> parents { get; set; }
}

Noob C# Class Declaration Issue

So I created a class using json2csharp
public class ResponseType
{
public class Query
{
public string q { get; set; }
public object sku { get; set; }
public int limit { get; set; }
public object reference { get; set; }
public object mpn_or_sku { get; set; }
public string mpn { get; set; }
public object brand { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public int start { get; set; }
public object seller { get; set; }
}
public class Request
{
public bool exact_only { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public List<Query> queries { get; set; }
}
public class Seller
{
public string display_flag { get; set; }
public bool has_ecommerce { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
}
public class Prices
{
public List<List<object>> USD { get; set; }
public List<List<object>> JPY { get; set; }
public List<List<object>> CNY { get; set; }
}
public class Offer
{
public string sku { get; set; }
public string packaging { get; set; }
public string on_order_eta { get; set; }
public string last_updated { get; set; }
public int? order_multiple { get; set; }
public int in_stock_quantity { get; set; }
public string eligible_region { get; set; }
public int? moq { get; set; }
public int? on_order_quantity { get; set; }
public object octopart_rfq_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public Seller seller { get; set; }
public string product_url { get; set; }
public object factory_order_multiple { get; set; }
public string _naive_id { get; set; }
public int? factory_lead_days { get; set; }
public Prices prices { get; set; }
public bool is_authorized { get; set; }
public bool is_realtime { get; set; }
}
public class Brand
{
public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
}
public class Manufacturer
{
public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
}
public class Item
{
public List<Offer> offers { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
public string mpn { get; set; }
public List<object> redirected_uids { get; set; }
public Brand brand { get; set; }
public string octopart_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public Manufacturer manufacturer { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public List<Item> items { get; set; }
public int hits { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public object reference { get; set; }
public object error { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int msec { get; set; }
public Request request { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
}
The problem is at design-time, when I declare a variable with the type of my class:
ResponseType Response = new ResponseType();
Intellisense does not allow me to access the subclasses RootObject.results list. It only shows Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString. I am assuming I did something wrong in my class declaration.
Thank you in advance!
Edit -- I am fairly new to C Sharp. I am trying to parse a response from a REST API. I took the JSON provided by the Rest API and converted it using json2csharp into a class. My intent was to do something like this
Within a function return:
public ResponseType ExecuteSearch(String PartNumber)
{
~ ALL CODE FOR GENERATING req
// Perform the search and obtain results
var data = client.Execute(req).Content;
JSON = data;
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ResponseType>(data);
}
Then being able to access the response as an object outside of the function
Edit 2:
I figured out what I did. Instead of nesting everything within the ResponseType I should have simply renamed RootObject to ResponseType.

Intellisense does not allow me to access the subclasses RootObject.results list
it is because the property results is not static and you try to acces it this way. A static property is accessed via ClassName.PropertyName. For more information on static variables check the link.
It only shows Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString
This is the basic set of methods that every object in C# inherits from the class object. This is why you can see it.
Intellisense will allow you to do this:
ResponseType.RootObject ro = new ResponseType.RootObject();
ro.results.First();
because you will need an Instance of that class to acces the property results.
I am assuming I did something wrong in my class declaration.
It depends. Basically if the compiler does not complain then you declared your classes as supposed to be. But the declaration of the properties commands you to access them in a specific way. So if you still want to access results with RootObject.results you need to make it static:
public class RootObject
{
public static List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
But note that this list will exist only once! and is not individual to each instance of RootObject! Since you have embedded classes you need to call it like this:
ResponseType.RootObject.results.WhatEver();
EDIT
I guess you would like to get the Object of type RootObject inside the Object of type ResponseType. If I am right then it is not necessary to declare the classes inside ResponseType but you have to declare variables of each type inside it like:
public class ResponseType
{
public RootObject MyRootObject{ get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int msec { get; set; }
public Request request { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
Now you will be able to access the results variable inside the ResponseType object:
ResponseType rt = new ResponseType();
rt.MyRootObject.results.WhatEver();
For more information on how to deserialize JSON to classes please read the Deserialize JSON to C# Classes post

1) Object with ResponseType class isn't contain any fields(event static one).
2) You declare ResponseType object, but results is field of RootObject object.
So if you want to work with results you should do something like this:
ResponseType.RootObject rootObject = new ResponseType.RootObject();
rootObject.results.DoWork();

Below is what I think you are trying to do. I would only use it in this form if this is some kind of Data Transfer Object (DTO) because otherwise it is pretty bad practice for a class that would be used in code (mostly because of the public getters and setters on all of the fields and the field names matching the class name), but it does show your main mistake and that is that classes need to be defined outside of your main class and if you need that type of class in your top level class you need to define a public field to access it.

When I deserialize the XML into my root class InterestRates, all the InterestRate_X collections are empty. How can this be fixed?

The reason deserialization does not work is that you have marked the interest rate arrays in your InterestRates_X types with [XmlArray], e.g.:
[XmlType("InterestRates_B")]
public class InterestRates_B
{
[XmlArray("InterestRate_B")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_B", typeof(InterestRate_B))]
public InterestRate_B[] InterestRate_B { get; set; }
}
This indicates that the InterestRate_X collections are to be serialized within a container element, like so:
<InterestRates>
<InterestRates_B>
<InterestRate_B> <!--The extra [XmlArray] container element -->
<InterestRate_B>
<ValidFrom>2016-05-01</ValidFrom>
<ValidTo></ValidTo>
<Rate>0.05</Rate>
<Rate2>2.05</Rate2>
</InterestRate_B>
</InterestRate_B>
Since your actual XML does not have this extra level of nesting, deserialization fails.
The solution is to use [XmlElement]:
[XmlType("InterestRates_A")]
public class InterestRates_A
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_A")]
public InterestRate_A[] InterestRate_A { get; set; }
}
[XmlType("InterestRates_B")]
public class InterestRates_B
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_B")]
public InterestRate_B[] InterestRate_B { get; set; }
}
[XmlType("InterestRates_C")]
public class InterestRates_C
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_C")]
public InterestRate_C[] InterestRate_C { get; set; }
}
[XmlType("InterestRates_D")]
public class InterestRates_D
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_D")]
public InterestRate_D[] InterestRate_D { get; set; }
}
[XmlType("InterestRates_E")]
public class InterestRates_E
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_E")]
public InterestRate_E[] InterestRate_E { get; set; }
}
[XmlType("InterestRates_F")]
public class InterestRates_F
{
[XmlElement("InterestRate_F")]
public InterestRate_F[] InterestRate_F { get; set; }
}
Sample fiddle.
Alternatively, you could completely eliminate your intermediate InterestRates_X types and merge all your InterestRate_X types into a single type, thereby simplifying your data model as follows:
[XmlRoot("InterestRates")]
public class InterestRates
{
[XmlArray("InterestRates_A")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_A")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_A { get; set; }
[XmlArray("InterestRates_B")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_B")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_B { get; set; }
[XmlArray("InterestRates_C")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_C")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_C { get; set; }
[XmlArray("InterestRates_D")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_D")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_D { get; set; }
[XmlArray("InterestRates_E")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_E")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_E { get; set; }
[XmlArray("InterestRates_F")]
[XmlArrayItem("InterestRate_F")]
public InterestRate [] InterestRates_F { get; set; }
}
public class InterestRate
{
[XmlElement("ValidFrom")]
public string ValidFrom { get; set; }
[XmlElement("ValidTo")]
public string ValidTo { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Rate")]
public string Rate { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Rate2")]
public string Rate2 { get; set; }
}

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.

Any ideas - Im sure I have missed something glaringly obvious but I cannot see it. Using .NET 4.5
Help appreciated.

I used http://json2csharp.com/, and the code is like this, so you should look at it.

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

How to parse Json from the RootObject?

I am trying to parse JSON response so I created some classes.
Actually I want Leg and Flight class element value. I am trying to get those element value from RootObject but I don't know how to do this. I googled but I am little bit confuse.
I paste my JSON respose , Classes !!

public Trips trips { get; set; }
}
Code :
var obj0 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(responsedata);
Here I got only Trip class element . I want the Leg and Flight class element.

If you want to find information for a specific leg, you need to use Linq to traverse the tree. For example, if you just know the leg id, you could do something like this:
var allLegs = obj0.trips.tripOption.SelectMany(to => to.slice.SelectMany(sl => sl.segment.Select(sg => sg.leg)));
var leg = allLegs.FirstOrDefault(l => l.id == "yourId");
The query for retrieving a flight would be similar. You could also filter by tripOption id to get a specific tripOption and then retrieve flights or legs that are associated with it.
