I'm trying to deserialize some json that looks like this
{
"id":"2021",
"descriptions_bg":[
"30231300",
"30233160",
"32420000",
"30214000"
],
"descriptions_cs":[
"30231300",
"30233160",
"32420000",
"30214000"
],
"descriptions_da":[
"30231300",
"30233160",
"32420000",
"30214000"
],
"official_title_bg":"П",
"official_title_cs":"P",
"official_title_da":"P",
"auth_town_bg":"AuthTown",
"auth_town_cs":"AuthTown",
"auth_town_da":"AuthTown"
}
The problem here being, that there can come an infinite number of items in both descriptions_*, official_title_* and auth_town_* with different endings.
I've tried to make classes and members like public string official_title_* { get; set; }in C# to deserialize to with Newtonsoft Json, but that (of course) doesn't work.
Anyway to fix this?
The best option for you is to deserialize to Dictionary<string, JToken> and based on Key and Object Type you can write business logic. With the combination of Linq you can filter the Key
var json = File.ReadAllText("json1.json");
var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, JToken>>(json);
foreach(var item in dict.Where(x=>x.Key.StartsWith("descriptions_")))
{
Console.WriteLine($"{item.Key} is type {item.Value.GetType()}");
}
foreach (var item in dict.Where(x => x.Key.StartsWith("auth_town_")))
{
Console.WriteLine($"{item.Key} is type {item.Value.GetType()}");
}
An alternative method, using a class object that defines each group of properties that have a common prefix as a Dictionary<string, TValue>.
The JSON is deserialized using a custom JsonConverter that maps each group of properties in the JSON to a Property of the class, using a Dictionary<string, string>:
Dictionary<string, string> map = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
["Descriptions"] = "descriptions_",
["OfficialTitles"] = "official_title_",
["AuthTowns"] = "auth_town_"
};
All properties in the JSON that map to a Property in the class are added to the corresponding Dictionary and the values converted to the Type defined by the class property.
Note: you need to adapt the mapper and class Properties to the JSON. You could make the procedure more generic using some logic to determine when Property Name in the JSON belongs to the same group and generate a new Dictionary<string, TValue> to add to the class by reflection.
Or simply add more Properties to the class off-line, if you find other groups.
Call it as:
(possibly giving the class a less silly name :)
var result = new SimpleSequences().Deserialize(json);
Helper class object:
private class SimpleSequences
{
public SimpleSequences() {
Descriptions = new Dictionary<string, long[]>();
OfficialTitles = new Dictionary<string, string>();
AuthTowns = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
public List<SimpleSequences> Deserialize(string json)
{
var options = new JsonSerializerSettings() {
Converters = new[] { new SimpleSequencesConverter() }
};
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<SimpleSequences>>(json, options);
}
public int Id { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, long[]> Descriptions { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, string> OfficialTitles { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, string> AuthTowns { get; set; }
}
Custom JsonConverter:
This converter handles a single object or array of objects (as shown in your question), but always return a List<SimpleSequences> (which may contain a single object). Modify as required.
public class SimpleSequencesConverter : JsonConverter
{
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType) => true;
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
if (reader.TokenType != JsonToken.StartArray && reader.TokenType != JsonToken.StartObject) {
throw new Exception($"Unexpected Type. Expecting Array or Object, got {reader.TokenType}");
}
var elementsList = new List<SimpleSequences>();
if (reader.TokenType == JsonToken.StartObject) {
elementsList.Add(GetPropertyValues(JObject.Load(reader)));
}
else {
while (reader.Read() && reader.TokenType != JsonToken.EndArray) {
elementsList.Add(GetPropertyValues(JObject.Load(reader)));
}
}
return elementsList;
}
private SimpleSequences GetPropertyValues(JToken token)
{
var element = new SimpleSequences();
element.Id = token["id"].ToObject<int>();
var descriptions = token.Children().Where(t => t.Path.StartsWith(map["Descriptions"]));
foreach (JProperty p in descriptions) {
element.Descriptions.Add(p.Path, p.Value.ToObject<long[]>());
}
var titles = token.Children().Where(t => t.Path.StartsWith(map["OfficialTitles"]));
foreach (JProperty p in titles) {
element.OfficialTitles.Add(p.Path, p.Value.ToString());
}
var authTowns = token.OfType<JToken>().Where(t => t.Path.StartsWith(map["AuthTowns"]));
foreach (JProperty p in authTowns) {
element.AuthTowns.Add(p.Path, p.Value.ToString());
}
return element;
}
public override bool CanWrite => false;
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
=> throw new NotImplementedException();
Dictionary<string, string> map = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
["Descriptions"] = "descriptions_",
["OfficialTitles"] = "official_title_",
["AuthTowns"] = "auth_town_"
};
}
Yet another solution could be to use several LINQ2JSON queries.
For instance, if you want to get all description_xyz collections in a single list
then you can do that like this:
var semiParsedJson = JObject.Parse(json);
var descriptionProperties = semiParsedJson.Properties()
.Where(prop => prop.Name.StartsWith("descriptions_"));
var collectionOfDescriptions =
from desc in descriptionProperties.Values()
select ((JArray)desc).ToObject<IEnumerable<string>>();
var flattenedDescriptions = collectionOfDescriptions.
SelectMany(desc => desc)
.ToList();
We can semi parse the json by using JObject.Parse
We can perform some filtering based on the properties' Name field
We can then get all values form each description_xyz collections as IEnumerable<string>
We will have at this point a collection of collections IEnumerable<IEnumerable<string>>, which we can flatten with SelectMany
At very end we can materialize the query with ToList
Are there any elegant quick way to map object to a dictionary and vice versa?
Example:
IDictionary<string,object> a = new Dictionary<string,object>();
a["Id"]=1;
a["Name"]="Ahmad";
// .....
becomes
SomeClass b = new SomeClass();
b.Id=1;
b.Name="Ahmad";
// ..........
Using some reflection and generics in two extension methods you can achieve that.
Right, others did mostly the same solution, but this uses less reflection which is more performance-wise and way more readable:
public static class ObjectExtensions
{
public static T ToObject<T>(this IDictionary<string, object> source)
where T : class, new()
{
var someObject = new T();
var someObjectType = someObject.GetType();
foreach (var item in source)
{
someObjectType
.GetProperty(item.Key)
.SetValue(someObject, item.Value, null);
}
return someObject;
}
public static IDictionary<string, object> AsDictionary(this object source, BindingFlags bindingAttr = BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)
{
return source.GetType().GetProperties(bindingAttr).ToDictionary
(
propInfo => propInfo.Name,
propInfo => propInfo.GetValue(source, null)
);
}
}
class A
{
public string Prop1
{
get;
set;
}
public int Prop2
{
get;
set;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dictionary<string, object> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
dictionary.Add("Prop1", "hello world!");
dictionary.Add("Prop2", 3893);
A someObject = dictionary.ToObject<A>();
IDictionary<string, object> objectBackToDictionary = someObject.AsDictionary();
}
}
Convert the Dictionary to JSON string first with Newtonsoft.
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(advancedSettingsDictionary, Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented);
Then deserialize the JSON string to your object
var myobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AOCAdvancedSettings>(json);
Seems reflection only help here.. I've done small example of converting object to dictionary and vise versa:
[TestMethod]
public void DictionaryTest()
{
var item = new SomeCLass { Id = "1", Name = "name1" };
IDictionary<string, object> dict = ObjectToDictionary<SomeCLass>(item);
var obj = ObjectFromDictionary<SomeCLass>(dict);
}
private T ObjectFromDictionary<T>(IDictionary<string, object> dict)
where T : class
{
Type type = typeof(T);
T result = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
foreach (var item in dict)
{
type.GetProperty(item.Key).SetValue(result, item.Value, null);
}
return result;
}
private IDictionary<string, object> ObjectToDictionary<T>(T item)
where T: class
{
Type myObjectType = item.GetType();
IDictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
var indexer = new object[0];
PropertyInfo[] properties = myObjectType.GetProperties();
foreach (var info in properties)
{
var value = info.GetValue(item, indexer);
dict.Add(info.Name, value);
}
return dict;
}
I'd highly recommend the Castle DictionaryAdapter, easily one of that project's best-kept secrets. You only need to define an interface with the properties you want, and in one line of code the adapter will generate an implementation, instantiate it, and synchronize its values with a dictionary you pass in. I use it to strongly-type my AppSettings in a web project:
var appSettings =
new DictionaryAdapterFactory().GetAdapter<IAppSettings>(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings);
Note that I did not need to create a class that implements IAppSettings - the adapter does that on the fly. Also, although in this case I'm only reading, in theory if I were setting property values on appSettings, the adapter would keep the underlying dictionary in sync with those changes.
I think you should use reflection. Something like this:
private T ConvertDictionaryTo<T>(IDictionary<string, object> dictionary) where T : new()
{
Type type = typeof (T);
T ret = new T();
foreach (var keyValue in dictionary)
{
type.GetProperty(keyValue.Key).SetValue(ret, keyValue.Value, null);
}
return ret;
}
It takes your dictionary and loops through it and sets the values. You should make it better but it's a start. You should call it like this:
SomeClass someClass = ConvertDictionaryTo<SomeClass>(a);
Reflection can take you from an object to a dictionary by iterating over the properties.
To go the other way, you'll have to use a dynamic ExpandoObject (which, in fact, already inherits from IDictionary, and so has done this for you) in C#, unless you can infer the type from the collection of entries in the dictionary somehow.
So, if you're in .NET 4.0 land, use an ExpandoObject, otherwise you've got a lot of work to do...
Building on Matías Fidemraizer's answer, here is a version that supports binding to object properties other than strings.

var key = char.ToUpper(item.Key[0]) + item.Key.Substring(1);
var targetProperty = someObjectType.GetProperty(key);
//edited this line
if (targetProperty.PropertyType == item.Value.GetType())
{
targetProperty.SetValue(someObject, item.Value);

If you are using Asp.Net MVC, then take a look at:
public static RouteValueDictionary AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(object htmlAttributes);
which is a static public method on the System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper class.
public Dictionary<string, object> ToDictionary<T>(string key, T value)
{
try
{
var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ key, value }
};
} catch (Exception e)
{
return null;
}
}
public T FromDictionary<T>(Dictionary<string, object> payload, string key)
{
try
{
JObject jObject = (JObject) payload[key];
T t = jObject.ToObject<T>();
return (t);
}
catch(Exception e) {
return default(T);
}
}
Apparently, IDictionary<string,object> is serialized as an array of KeyValuePair objects (e.g., [{Key:"foo", Value:"bar"}, ...]). Is is possible to serialize it as an object instead (e.g., {foo:"bar"})?
Although I agree that JavaScriptSerializer is a crap and Json.Net is a better option, there is a way in which you can make JavaScriptSerializer serialize the way you want to.
You will have to register a converter and override the Serialize method using something like this:
public class KeyValuePairJsonConverter : JavaScriptConverter
{
public override object Deserialize(IDictionary<string, object> dictionary, Type type, JavaScriptSerializer serializer)
{
var instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
foreach (var p in instance.GetType().GetPublicProperties())
{
instance.GetType().GetProperty(p.Name).SetValue(instance, dictionary[p.Name], null);
dictionary.Remove(p.Name);
}
foreach (var item in dictionary)
(instance).Add(item.Key, item.Value);
return instance;
}
public override IDictionary<string, object> Serialize(object obj, JavaScriptSerializer serializer)
{
var result = new Dictionary<string, object>();
var dictionary = obj as IDictionary<string, object>;
foreach (var item in dictionary)
result.Add(item.Key, item.Value);
return result;
}
public override IEnumerable<Type> SupportedTypes
{
get
{
return new ReadOnlyCollection<Type>(new Type[] { typeof(your_type) });
}
}
}
JavaScriptSerializer javaScriptSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
javaScriptSerializer.RegisterConverters(new JavaScriptConverter[] { new ExpandoJsonConverter() });
jsonOfTest = javaScriptSerializer.Serialize(test);
// {"x":"xvalue","y":"\/Date(1314108923000)\/"}
Hope this helps!
No, it is not possible with JavaScriptSerializer. It's possible with Json.NET:
public class Bar
{
public Bar()
{
Foos = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "foo", "bar" }
};
}
public Dictionary<string, string> Foos { get; set; }
}
and then:
var bar = new Bar();
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(bar, new KeyValuePairConverter());
would produce the desired:
{"Foos":{"foo":"bar"}}
I was able to solve with JavaScriptSerializer with Linq Select:
var dictionary = new Dictionary<int, string>();
var jsonOutput = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(dictionary.Select(x => new { Id = x.Key, DisplayText = x.Value }));
I was able to solve it using JavaScriptSerializer, the trick is to create your own converter. The following code is working code:
public class KeyValuePairJsonConverter : JavaScriptConverter {
public override object Deserialize(IDictionary<string, object> dictionary
, Type type
, JavaScriptSerializer serializer) {
throw new InvalidOperationException("Sorry, I do serializations only.");
}
public override IDictionary<string, object> Serialize(object obj, JavaScriptSerializer serializer) {
Dictionary<string, object> result = new Dictionary<string, object>();
Dictionary<string, MyClass> dictionaryInput = obj as Dictionary<string, MyClass>;
if (dictionaryInput == null) {
throw new InvalidOperationException("Object must be of Dictionary<string, MyClass> type.");
}
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, MyClass> pair in dictionaryInput)
result.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value);
return result;
}
public override IEnumerable<Type> SupportedTypes {
get {
return new ReadOnlyCollection<Type>(new Type[] { typeof(Dictionary<string, MyClass>) });
}
}
}
And here's how you use it:
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
js.RegisterConverters(new JavaScriptConverter[] { new KeyValuePairJsonConverter() });
Context.Response.Clear();
Context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Context.Response.Write(js.Serialize(myObject));
Here's an I believe improved version from Tomas answer. Works like a charm. We could also add a check for the ScriptIgnore attribute but well, knock yourself out.
BTW, I chose JavaScriptSerializer because in my opinion third party solutions are most of the time: less known, long to install, often forgotten pre-requities and have blur copy-right states that make them risky to distribute in business.
P-S: I didn`t understood why we were trying to deserialize both to the instance and to the instance as a dictionary, so I stripped that part.
public class KeyValuePairJsonConverter : JavaScriptConverter
{
public override object Deserialize(IDictionary<string, object> deserializedJSObjectDictionary, Type targetType, JavaScriptSerializer javaScriptSerializer)
{
Object targetTypeInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(targetType);
FieldInfo[] targetTypeFields = targetType.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
foreach (FieldInfo fieldInfo in targetTypeFields)
fieldInfo.SetValue(targetTypeInstance, deserializedJSObjectDictionary[fieldInfo.Name]);
return targetTypeInstance;
}
public override IDictionary<string, object> Serialize(Object objectToSerialize, JavaScriptSerializer javaScriptSerializer)
{
IDictionary<string, object> serializedObjectDictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
FieldInfo[] objectToSerializeTypeFields = objectToSerialize.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
foreach (FieldInfo fieldInfo in objectToSerializeTypeFields)
serializedObjectDictionary.Add(fieldInfo.Name, fieldInfo.GetValue(objectToSerialize));
return serializedObjectDictionary;
}
public override IEnumerable<Type> SupportedTypes
{
get
{
return new ReadOnlyCollection<Type>(new Type[] { typeof(YOURCLASSNAME) });
}
}
}
Is there a way to deserialize JSON content into a C# dynamic type? It would be nice to skip creating a bunch of classes in order to use the DataContractJsonSerializer.
If you are happy to have a dependency upon the System.Web.Helpers assembly, then you can use the Json class:
dynamic data = Json.Decode(json);
It is included with the MVC framework as an additional download to the .NET 4 framework. Be sure to give Vlad an upvote if that's helpful! However if you cannot assume the client environment includes this DLL, then read on.
An alternative deserialisation approach is suggested here. I modified the code slightly to fix a bug and suit my coding style. All you need is this code and a reference to System.Web.Extensions from your project:

You can use it like this:
string json = ...;
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
serializer.RegisterConverters(new[] { new DynamicJsonConverter() });
dynamic obj = serializer.Deserialize(json, typeof(object));
So, given a JSON string:
{
"Items":[
{ "Name":"Apple", "Price":12.3 },
{ "Name":"Grape", "Price":3.21 }
],
"Date":"21/11/2010"
}
The following code will work at runtime:
dynamic data = serializer.Deserialize(json, typeof(object));
data.Date; // "21/11/2010"
data.Items.Count; // 2
data.Items[0].Name; // "Apple"
data.Items[0].Price; // 12.3 (as a decimal)
data.Items[1].Name; // "Grape"
data.Items[1].Price; // 3.21 (as a decimal)
It's pretty simple using Json.NET:
dynamic stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{ 'Name': 'Jon Smith', 'Address': { 'City': 'New York', 'State': 'NY' }, 'Age': 42 }");
string name = stuff.Name;
string address = stuff.Address.City;
Also using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq:
dynamic stuff = JObject.Parse("{ 'Name': 'Jon Smith', 'Address': { 'City': 'New York', 'State': 'NY' }, 'Age': 42 }");
string name = stuff.Name;
string address = stuff.Address.City;
Documentation: Querying JSON with dynamic
You can do this using System.Web.Helpers.Json - its Decode method returns a dynamic object which you can traverse as you like.
It's included in the System.Web.Helpers assembly (.NET 4.0).
var dynamicObject = Json.Decode(jsonString);
.NET 4.0 has a built-in library to do this:
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var d = jss.Deserialize<dynamic>(str);
This is the simplest way.
Simple "string JSON data" to object without any third-party DLL file:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string getString = client.DownloadString("https://graph.facebook.com/zuck");
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
dynamic item = serializer.Deserialize<object>(getString);
string name = item["name"];
//note: JavaScriptSerializer in this namespaces
//System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer
Note: You can also using your custom object.
Personel item = serializer.Deserialize<Personel>(getString);
You can achieve that with the help of Newtonsoft.Json. Install it from NuGet and then:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
dynamic results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(YOUR_JSON);
JsonFx can deserialize JSON content into dynamic objects.
Serialize to/from dynamic types (default for .NET 4.0):
var reader = new JsonReader(); var writer = new JsonWriter();
string input = #"{ ""foo"": true, ""array"": [ 42, false, ""Hello!"", null ] }";
dynamic output = reader.Read(input);
Console.WriteLine(output.array[0]); // 42
string json = writer.Write(output);
Console.WriteLine(json); // {"foo":true,"array":[42,false,"Hello!",null]}
Another way using Newtonsoft.Json:
dynamic stuff = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{ color: 'red', value: 5 }");
string color = stuff.color;
int value = stuff.value;
I came here to find an answer for .NET Core, without any third-party or additional references. It works fine if you use ExpandoObject with the standard JsonSerializer class. Here is the example that worked for me:
using System.Text.Json;
using System.Dynamic;
dynamic json = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<ExpandoObject>(jsonText);
Console.WriteLine(json.name);
This code prints out the string value of a name property that exists within the JSON text passed into the Deserialize method. Voila - no additional libraries, no nothing. Just .NET core.
Edit: May have a problem for several levels of json with nested elements. Worked for a single-level flat object.
I made a new version of the DynamicJsonConverter that uses Expando Objects. I used expando objects, because I wanted to Serialize the dynamic back into JSON using Json.NET.

Creating dynamic objects with Newtonsoft.Json works really great.
//json is your string containing the JSON value
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);
Now you can access the data object just like if it was a regular object. This is the JSON object we currently have as an example:
{ "ID":123,"Name":"Jack","Numbers":[1, 2, 3] }
This is how you access it after deserialization:
data.ID //Retrieve the int
data.Name //Retrieve the string
data.Numbers[0] //Retrieve the first element in the array
I use http://json2csharp.com/ to get a class representing the JSON object.
Input:
{
"name":"John",
"age":31,
"city":"New York",
"Childs":[
{
"name":"Jim",
"age":11
},
{
"name":"Tim",
"age":9
}
]
}
Output:
public class Child
{
public string name { get; set; }
public int age { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public string name { get; set; }
public int age { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public List<Child> Childs { get; set; }
}
After that I use Newtonsoft.Json to fill the class:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace GitRepositoryCreator.Common
{
class JObjects
{
public static string Get(object p_object)
{
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(p_object);
}
internal static T Get<T>(string p_object)
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(p_object);
}
}
}
You can call it like this:
Person jsonClass = JObjects.Get<Person>(stringJson);
string stringJson = JObjects.Get(jsonClass);
PS:
If your JSON variable name is not a valid C# name (name starts with $) you can fix that like this:
public class Exception
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "$id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public object innerException { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public string typeName { get; set; }
public string typeKey { get; set; }
public int errorCode { get; set; }
public int eventId { get; set; }
}
The simplest way is:
Just include this DLL file.
Use the code like this:
dynamic json = new JDynamic("{a:'abc'}");
// json.a is a string "abc"
dynamic json = new JDynamic("{a:3.1416}");
// json.a is 3.1416m
dynamic json = new JDynamic("{a:1}");
// json.a is
dynamic json = new JDynamic("[1,2,3]");
/json.Length/json.Count is 3
// And you can use json[0]/ json[2] to get the elements
dynamic json = new JDynamic("{a:[1,2,3]}");
//json.a.Length /json.a.Count is 3.
// And you can use json.a[0]/ json.a[2] to get the elements
dynamic json = new JDynamic("[{b:1},{c:1}]");
// json.Length/json.Count is 2.
// And you can use the json[0].b/json[1].c to get the num.
Another option is to "Paste JSON as classes" so it can be deserialised quick and easy.
Simply copy your entire JSON
In Visual Studio: Click Edit → Paste Special → Paste JSON as classes
Here is a better explanation n piccas... ‘Paste JSON As Classes’ in ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 RC
You can extend the JavaScriptSerializer to recursively copy the dictionary it created to expando object(s) and then use them dynamically:
static class JavaScriptSerializerExtensions
{
public static dynamic DeserializeDynamic(this JavaScriptSerializer serializer, string value)
{
var dictionary = serializer.Deserialize<IDictionary<string, object>>(value);
return GetExpando(dictionary);
}
private static ExpandoObject GetExpando(IDictionary<string, object> dictionary)
{
var expando = (IDictionary<string, object>)new ExpandoObject();
foreach (var item in dictionary)
{
var innerDictionary = item.Value as IDictionary<string, object>;
if (innerDictionary != null)
{
expando.Add(item.Key, GetExpando(innerDictionary));
}
else
{
expando.Add(item.Key, item.Value);
}
}
return (ExpandoObject)expando;
}
}
Then you just need to having a using statement for the namespace you defined the extension in (consider just defining them in System.Web.Script.Serialization... another trick is to not use a namespace, then you don't need the using statement at all) and you can consume them like so:
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var value = serializer.DeserializeDynamic("{ 'Name': 'Jon Smith', 'Address': { 'City': 'New York', 'State': 'NY' }, 'Age': 42 }");
var name = (string)value.Name; // Jon Smith
var age = (int)value.Age; // 42
var address = value.Address;
var city = (string)address.City; // New York
var state = (string)address.State; // NY
You can use using Newtonsoft.Json
var jRoot =
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(resolvedEvent.Event.Data));
resolvedEvent.Event.Data is my response getting from calling core Event .
Try this:
var units = new { Name = "Phone", Color= "White" };
var jsonResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeAnonymousType(json, units);
I am using like this in my code and it's working fine
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
JavaScriptSerializer oJS = new JavaScriptSerializer();
RootObject oRootObject = new RootObject();
oRootObject = oJS.Deserialize<RootObject>(Your JSon String);
Look at the article I wrote on CodeProject, one that answers the question precisely:
Dynamic types with JSON.NET
There is way too much for re-posting it all here, and even less point since that article has an attachment with the key/required source file.
For that I would use JSON.NET to do the low-level parsing of the JSON stream and then build up the object hierarchy out of instances of the ExpandoObject class.
To get an ExpandoObject:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;
Container container = JsonConvert.Deserialize<Container>(jsonAsString, new ExpandoObjectConverter());
Deserializing in JSON.NET can be dynamic using the JObject class, which is included in that library. My JSON string represents these classes:
public class Foo {
public int Age {get;set;}
public Bar Bar {get;set;}
}
public class Bar {
public DateTime BDay {get;set;}
}
Now we deserialize the string WITHOUT referencing the above classes:
var dyn = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(jsonAsFooString);
JProperty propAge = dyn.Properties().FirstOrDefault(i=>i.Name == "Age");
if(propAge != null) {
int age = int.Parse(propAge.Value.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("age=" + age);
}
//or as a one-liner:
int myage = int.Parse(dyn.Properties().First(i=>i.Name == "Age").Value.ToString());
Or if you want to go deeper:
var propBar = dyn.Properties().FirstOrDefault(i=>i.Name == "Bar");
if(propBar != null) {
JObject o = (JObject)propBar.First();
var propBDay = o.Properties().FirstOrDefault (i => i.Name=="BDay");
if(propBDay != null) {
DateTime bday = DateTime.Parse(propBDay.Value.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("birthday=" + bday.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
}
}
//or as a one-liner:
DateTime mybday = DateTime.Parse(((JObject)dyn.Properties().First(i=>i.Name == "Bar").First()).Properties().First(i=>i.Name == "BDay").Value.ToString());
See post for a complete example.
The object you want DynamicJSONObject is included in the System.Web.Helpers.dll from the ASP.NET Web Pages package, which is part of WebMatrix.
There is a lightweight JSON library for C# called SimpleJson.
It supports .NET 3.5+, Silverlight and Windows Phone 7.
It supports dynamic for .NET 4.0
It can also be installed as a NuGet package
Install-Package SimpleJson
Use DataSet(C#) with JavaScript. A simple function for creating a JSON stream with DataSet input. Create JSON content like (multi table dataset):
[[{a:1,b:2,c:3},{a:3,b:5,c:6}],[{a:23,b:45,c:35},{a:58,b:59,c:45}]]
Just client side, use eval. For example,
var d = eval('[[{a:1,b:2,c:3},{a:3,b:5,c:6}],[{a:23,b:45,c:35},{a:58,b:59,c:45}]]')
Then use:
d[0][0].a // out 1 from table 0 row 0
d[1][1].b // out 59 from table 1 row 1
// Created by Behnam Mohammadi And Saeed Ahmadian
public string jsonMini(DataSet ds)
{
int t = 0, r = 0, c = 0;
string stream = "[";
for (t = 0; t < ds.Tables.Count; t++)
{
stream += "[";
for (r = 0; r < ds.Tables[t].Rows.Count; r++)
{
stream += "{";
for (c = 0; c < ds.Tables[t].Columns.Count; c++)
{
stream += ds.Tables[t].Columns[c].ToString() + ":'" +
ds.Tables[t].Rows[r][c].ToString() + "',";
}
if (c>0)
stream = stream.Substring(0, stream.Length - 1);
stream += "},";
}
if (r>0)
stream = stream.Substring(0, stream.Length - 1);
stream += "],";
}
if (t>0)
stream = stream.Substring(0, stream.Length - 1);
stream += "];";
return stream;
}
How to parse easy JSON content with dynamic & JavaScriptSerializer
Please add reference of System.Web.Extensions and add this namespace using System.Web.Script.Serialization; at top:
public static void EasyJson()
{
var jsonText = #"{
""some_number"": 108.541,
""date_time"": ""2011-04-13T15:34:09Z"",
""serial_number"": ""SN1234""
}";
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var dict = jss.Deserialize<dynamic>(jsonText);
Console.WriteLine(dict["some_number"]);
Console.ReadLine();
}
How to parse nested & complex json with dynamic & JavaScriptSerializer
Please add reference of System.Web.Extensions and add this namespace using System.Web.Script.Serialization; at top:
public static void ComplexJson()
{
var jsonText = #"{
""some_number"": 108.541,
""date_time"": ""2011-04-13T15:34:09Z"",
""serial_number"": ""SN1234"",
""more_data"": {
""field1"": 1.0,
""field2"": ""hello""
}
}";
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var dict = jss.Deserialize<dynamic>(jsonText);
Console.WriteLine(dict["some_number"]);
Console.WriteLine(dict["more_data"]["field2"]);
Console.ReadLine();
}
I want to do this programmatically in unit tests, I do have the luxury of typing it out.
My solution is:
var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ExpandoObject>(json) as IDictionary<string, object>;
Now I can assert that
dict.ContainsKey("ExpectedProperty");
With Cinchoo ETL - an open source library available to parse JSON into a dynamic object:
string json = #"{
""key1"": [
{
""action"": ""open"",
""timestamp"": ""2018-09-05 20:46:00"",
""url"": null,
""ip"": ""66.102.6.98""
}
]
}";
using (var p = ChoJSONReader.LoadText(json)
.WithJSONPath("$..key1")
)
{
foreach (var rec in p)
{
Console.WriteLine("Action: " + rec.action);
Console.WriteLine("Timestamp: " + rec.timestamp);
Console.WriteLine("URL: " + rec.url);
Console.WriteLine("IP address: " + rec.ip);
}
}
Output:
Action: open
Timestamp: 2018-09-05 20:46:00
URL: http://www.google.com
IP address: 66.102.6.98

"group": 1,
"text": "xxx",
"creation_date": 123456,
"created_by": "xxx#gmail.co",
"tags": ["xxxxx"]

C# code:
var jsonString = (File.ReadAllText(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(),"delete_result.json")));
var objects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonString);
foreach(var o in objects)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{o.id.ToString()}");
}
I really like System.Web.Helpers,
dynamic data = Json.Decode(json);
as it supports usage like
var val = data.Members.NumberTen;
or
var val data.Members["10"];
The reference to System.Web.Helpers.DLL is really crazy, it is not even console and desktop app friendly. Here is my attempt to extract the same functionalities as a standalone file directly from https://github.com/mono/aspnetwebstack/tree/master/src/System.Web.Helpers
