I have a JSON request which has follwing structure:
"formats": {
"flash_embed": "http://a3.vikiassets.com/assets/vikiplayer-922746a667cfd38137a7e45df6ba1b95.swf?auto_play=true&language_codes=en&media_id=74965&partner=16&source=api_v3",
"m3u8": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965/ios.m3u8",
"res-150p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_mp4cell_150.mp4",
"res-240p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_240p.mp4",
"res-270p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_270p.mp4",
"res-360p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_360p.mp4",
"res-480p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_480p.mp4",
"res-720p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_720p.mp4"
}
}
Now res-150p, says invalid name in C# and if I give another name to it then while desiralizing I am not getting any values, that is null inside res-150p.
Edit:
[Serializable]
MoviesListRootObject is the root Object which Contains Response and then Response Contains Formats

}
You have to decorate your Formats properties with JsonProperty attributes to tell it what goes where if the name does not exactly match:
partial class Formats
{
[JsonProperty("res-150p")]
public string __invalid_name__res150p {get; set;}
}

I am getting Json data from a web server, but when I try to deserialize it to objects, I am not getting any data. The Json string looks like this:

I created these classes from the recommendation given in this link:
recommendation
I used this to create the classes: json2csharp
Response class:
class Response
{
bool success;
IList<Customer> data;
}
Customer class:
class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string CustomerGuid { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public List<CustomerRole> CustomerRoles { get; set; }
public object AdminComment { get; set; }
public bool IsTaxExempt { get; set; }
public int AffiliateId { get; set; }
public int VendorId { get; set; }
public bool HasShoppingCartItems { get; set; }

public bool Deleted { get; set; }
public bool IsSystemAccount { get; set; }
public object SystemName { get; set; }
public string LastIpAddress { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedOnUtc { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastLoginDateUtc { get; set; }
public DateTime LastActivityDateUtc { get; set; }
public List<object> ExternalAuthenticationRecords { get; set; }
public List<object> ShoppingCartItems { get; set; }
}
CustomerRole class:
class CustomerRole
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string SystemName { get; set; }
}
ExternalAuthenticationRecord class:
class ExternalAuthenticationRecord
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public object ExternalIdentifier { get; set; }
public object ExternalDisplayIdentifier { get; set; }

public int StoreId { get; set; }
public int ShoppingCartTypeId { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public int ProductId { get; set; }
public object AttributesXml { get; set; }
public double CustomerEnteredPrice { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedOnUtc { get; set; }
public DateTime UpdatedOnUtc { get; set; }
public bool IsFreeShipping { get; set; }
public bool IsShipEnabled { get; set; }
public double AdditionalShippingCharge { get; set; }
public bool IsTaxExempt { get; set; }
}
I am using this statement to deserialzie the Json string: Response res = (Response)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(customerJson, (typeof(Response)));
When I stop it in the debugger, it shows "res" as data: null and success: false.
I am not getting any errors. It is just not giving me the data from the Json string.
Any help that anybody can provide to figure out why I'm not getting the data I want in "res", would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
The problem is related to the accessibility level in your Response class. By default the fields, property and method are private so JsonConvert is not able to fill the properties.
Change the class as follow:
class Response
{
public bool success {get; set;}
public IList<Customer> data {get; set;}
}
And it wil works.
Another improvement is related to the JsonConvert use. To avoid the explicit cast use this type conversion: JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(string) where T will be Response
I'm trying to make an application that can show local TV guide trough JSON rest api C #, but has some problems with deserialization of my Json response.
i'm only intresest in the array NOW in my json call and i do not own the api service.
I get this error message:
An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.DLL but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[TDC_Play_TV_Mobil.superclass2+Now]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'now', line 1, position 7.

Your JSON isn't a List<superclass2.Now>, it's a superclass2.RootObject. So you need to do something like:
public async Task<List<superclass2.Now>> GetComments()
{
client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("http://api.yousee.tv/rest/tvguide/nowandnext/"));
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(json);
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<superclass2.RootObject>(json));
var value = await task;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Comments er lavet");
return (value == null ? null : value.now);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Errorhandling message");
}
}
Agree with Jon Skeet it would be nicer to eliminate the nesting of classes, purely for improved readability. If you need these classes to exist only in a specific scope, it is better to use nested namespaces. They aren't causing your bug, however.
So I have been able to get JSON objects for a few things, however this object is quite a bit more complex.
I'm trying to get comments from Reddit.
Here is the method I use:
public async Task<List<string>> GetComments(string currentSubreddit, string topicID)
{
string commentUrl = "http://www.reddit.com/r/" + currentSubreddit + "/comments/" + topicID + "/.json";
List<Comments> commentList = new List<Comments>();
string jsonText = await wc.GetJsonText(commentUrl);
Comments.RootObject deserializeObject = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Comments.RootObject>(jsonText);
List<string> commentListTest = new List<string>();
//List<string> commentListTest = deserializeObject.data.children[0].data.children;
return commentListTest;
}
This is the GetJsonText method:
public async Task<string> GetJsonText(string url)
{
var request = WebRequest.Create(url);
string text;
request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
var response = (HttpWebResponse)await request.GetResponseAsync();
using (var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
text = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
return text;
}
And here is a link to the Object: http://pastebin.com/WQ8XXGNA
And a link to the jsonText: http://pastebin.com/7Kh6cA9a
The error returned says this:
An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'JuicyReddit.Comments+RootObject' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
I'd appreciate if anybody could help me with figuring out whats wrong with this.
Thanks
There are a few problems with your code actually
public async Task<List<string>> GetComments(string currentSubreddit, string topicID)
You don't need to return a list of string here, u need to return a full object
First rename RootObject in the model to an appropriate name such as "CommentsObject"
So set up your class like so and name it CommentsObject.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

Make your namespace correct!
Then handle the request and deserialise into a list of commentobjects: (u can use the webclient instead of httpclient if you want, this is just an example)
private HttpClient client;
public async Task<List<CommentsObject>> GetComments()
{
client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync("http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1ut6xc.json");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
List<CommentsObject> comments = await JsonConvert.DeserializeObjectAsync<List<CommentsObject>>(json);
return comments;
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Errorhandling message");
}
}
It's not ideal (and not completely an answer but more of a work around) but I created models that mock the reddit response json to make deserialization super easy. I use JsonProperty attributes on my model properties to pretty up the models a bit.
Here are the models
And since my models directly mock the json I can just use json.net's generic deserialize method.
I have a JSON request which has follwing structure:
"formats": {
"flash_embed": "http://a3.vikiassets.com/assets/vikiplayer-922746a667cfd38137a7e45df6ba1b95.swf?auto_play=true&language_codes=en&media_id=74965&partner=16&source=api_v3",
"m3u8": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965/ios.m3u8",
"res-150p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_mp4cell_150.mp4",
"res-240p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_240p.mp4",
"res-270p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_270p.mp4",
"res-360p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_360p.mp4",
"res-480p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_480p.mp4",
"res-720p": "http://wpc.354a.edgecastcdn.net/00354A/videos/encoded/74965_720p.mp4"
}
}
Now res-150p, says invalid name in C# and if I give another name to it then while desiralizing I am not getting any values, that is null inside res-150p.
Edit:
[Serializable]
MoviesListRootObject is the root Object which Contains Response and then Response Contains Formats
public class MoviesListRootObject
{
public int count { get; set; }
public Pagination pagination { get; set; }
public List<Response> response { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
public class Response
{
public int id { get; set; }
public int channel_id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string title_language { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string description_language { get; set; }
public string created_at { get; set; }
public string uri { get; set; }
public string web_uri { get; set; }
public List<object> genres { get; set; }
public string origin_country { get; set; }
public string image { get; set; }
public Subtitles subtitles { get; set; }
public Formats formats { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
public class Formats
{
public string flash_embed { get; set; }
public string m3u8 { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res150p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res240p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res270p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res360p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res480p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__res720p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__flv480p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__flv360p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__flv270p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__flvvp6360p { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__flvvp6270p { get; set; }
}
You have to decorate your Formats properties with JsonProperty attributes to tell it what goes where if the name does not exactly match:
partial class Formats
{
[JsonProperty("res-150p")]
public string __invalid_name__res150p {get; set;}
}
