JSON DeserializeObject to Model without Key Name

I currently have JSON coming in as follows:
{"36879":[{"min_qty":1,"discount_type":"%","csp_price":10}],"57950":[{"min_qty":1,"discount_type":"flat","csp_price":650}]}
This contains a list of the following records
ProductId
MinQty
DiscountType
Price
I need to deserialize this into the following model:
public class CustomerSpecificPricing
{
string productId { get; set; }
public virtual List<CustomerSpecificPricingDetail> CustomerSpecificPricingDetails { get; set; }
}
public class CustomerSpecificPricingDetail
{
public string min_qty { get; set; }
public string discount_type { get; set; }
public string csp_price { get; set; }
}
The problem is that the "productId" of each record is missing the key name.
If I run my JSON through J2C, I get the following:
public class 36879 {
public int min_qty { get; set; }
public string discount_type { get; set; }
public int csp_price { get; set; }
}
public class 57950 {
public int min_qty { get; set; }
public string discount_type { get; set; }
public int csp_price { get; set; }
}
public class Root {
public List<_36879> _36879 { get; set; }
public List<_57950> _57950 { get; set; }
}
Which is obviously incorrect.
How would I deserialize my object correctly?

You would need to deserialize it into a dictionary first and then map it into the format you require after. Something like this should work:
var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, IEnumerable<CustomerSpecificPricingDetail>>>();
var result = dict.Select(kvp => new CustomerSpecificPricing { ProductId = Int32.Parse(kvp.Key), CustomerSpecificPricingDetails = kvp.Value });
Id also recommend you follow the conventional standards of naming. In this case properties in classes should be PascalCase,
e.g. your classes now become:
public class CustomerSpecificPricing
{
[JsonProperty("productId ")]
public string ProductId { get; set; }
public virtual List<CustomerSpecificPricingDetail> CustomerSpecificPricingDetails { get; set; }
}
and
public class CustomerSpecificPricingDetail
{
[JsonProperty("min_qty")]
public string MinQty { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("discount_type ")]
public string DiscountType { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("csp_price ")]
public string CspPrice { get; set; }
}

Parse json string to a class populating it's subclasses

I have this string returned to my code behind:
string json = "[[{'nome':'joe','cpf':'54'},{'id':'8','nome':'Legendagem','valor':'5'}],[{'nome':'jane','cpf':'22'},{'id':'1','nome':'Legendagem2','valor':'6'}]]";
and I have 3 classes:
public class ItemCart
{
public UserCart user { get; set; }
public CursoCart curso { get; set; }
}
public class UserCart
{
public string nome { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string cpf { get; set; }
}
public class CursoCart
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string desc { get; set; }
public string valor { get; set; }
}
what i want is to have the class UserCart/CursoCart class populated so I can loop inside itemCart and get the values, length etc of the UserCart/CursoCart items
eg:
UserCart user1 = itemCart[0].user;
supposing that I can't change the string, I'm trying this to convert, but now working:
List<ItemCart> itemCart = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ItemCart>>(json);
thank you for any help.

As I see from your json it is an array.
The following ItemCart and Deserialization may work for you.
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
string json = "[[{'nome':'joe','cpf':'54'},{'id':'8','nome':'Legendagem','valor':'5'}],[{'nome':'jane','cpf':'22'},{'id':'1','nome':'Legendagem2','valor':'6'}]]";
var ItemCartList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Item[]>>(json);
}
}
public class ItemCart
{
public Item[][] ItemList { get; set; }
}
public class Item
{
public string nome { get; set; }
public string cpf { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public string valor { get; set; }
}

Couchbase new field not getting inserted

So initially my class is as follows...
public class ClientTransaction
{
public decimal ClientBalance { get; set; }
public DateTime ClientTransactionDate { get; set; }
public int ClientTransactionTypeId { get; set; }
public string ClientTransactionTypeName { get; set; }
public decimal TransactionAmount { get; set; }
public decimal TaxRate { get; set; }
}
All fields are saved into couchbase.
Then i change the class to add a new field called Description.
public class ClientTransaction
{
public decimal ClientBalance { get; set; }
public DateTime ClientTransactionDate { get; set; }
public int ClientTransactionTypeId { get; set; }
public string ClientTransactionTypeName { get; set; }
public decimal TransactionAmount { get; set; }
public decimal TaxRate { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
I populate the description field and do an upsertAsync but the description field is not in the database even though the upsert was a success.
Please advise.

Obtaining YouTube Statistics Using JSON (UWP, C#)

been a while since I posted here. I'm working on an app and need to fetch statistics for a particular video using JSON (C#, UWP).
I already have the statistics as a JSON string but can't seem to parse them properly using Newtonsoft. The value always comes back null. This is my code:
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=" + videoId + "&key=" + cl.googleAPIKey + "&part=snippet,contentDetails,statistics,status";
var http = new HttpClient();
var response = await http.GetStringAsync(url);
var statistics = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Statistics>(response);
string totalViews = statistics.viewCount;
The classes generated by Json2CSharp are:
public class PageInfo
{
public int totalResults { get; set; }
public int resultsPerPage { get; set; }
}
public class Default
{
public string url { get; set; }
public int width { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
}
public class Medium
{
public string url { get; set; }
public int width { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
}
public class High
{
public string url { get; set; }
public int width { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
}
public class Standard
{
public string url { get; set; }
public int width { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
}
public class Maxres
{
public string url { get; set; }
public int width { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
}
public class Thumbnails
{
public Default #default { get; set; }
public Medium medium { get; set; }
public High high { get; set; }
public Standard standard { get; set; }
public Maxres maxres { get; set; }
}
public class Localized
{
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
}
public class Snippet
{
public DateTime publishedAt { get; set; }
public string channelId { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public Thumbnails thumbnails { get; set; }
public string channelTitle { get; set; }
public List<string> tags { get; set; }
public string categoryId { get; set; }
public string liveBroadcastContent { get; set; }
public Localized localized { get; set; }
}
public class ContentDetails
{
public string duration { get; set; }
public string dimension { get; set; }
public string definition { get; set; }
public string caption { get; set; }
public bool licensedContent { get; set; }
public string projection { get; set; }
}
public class Status
{
public string uploadStatus { get; set; }
public string privacyStatus { get; set; }
public string license { get; set; }
public bool embeddable { get; set; }
public bool publicStatsViewable { get; set; }
}
public class Statistics
{
public string viewCount { get; set; }
public string likeCount { get; set; }
public string dislikeCount { get; set; }
public string favoriteCount { get; set; }
public string commentCount { get; set; }
}
public class Item
{
public string kind { get; set; }
public string etag { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public Snippet snippet { get; set; }
public ContentDetails contentDetails { get; set; }
public Status status { get; set; }
public Statistics statistics { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string kind { get; set; }
public string etag { get; set; }
public PageInfo pageInfo { get; set; }
public List<Item> items { get; set; }
}
As I say the value will always come back as null regardless of the video ID.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

You are deserializing to the wrong class. Json2Csharp generated many classes, but Statistics is way down the tree. You should deserialize the RootObject instead:
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>( response );
And then navigate to the statistics within the resulting class structure like for example:
foreach ( var statistics in root.Items.Select( i => i.Statistics) )
{
//do something
}

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.
