Deserialize JSON to List

I have this Json:
{
"trades": [
{
"id": "4004",
"instrument": "EUR_USD",
"price": "1.08938",
"openTime": "2020-02-26T12:15:32.309973340Z",
"initialUnits": "1",
"initialMarginRequired": "0.0363",
"state": "OPEN",
"currentUnits": "1",
"realizedPL": "0.0000",
"financing": "0.0000",
"dividendAdjustment": "0.0000",
"unrealizedPL": "-0.0026",
"marginUsed": "0.0362",
"takeProfitOrder": {
"id": "4005",
"createTime": "2020-02-26T12:15:32.309973340Z",
"type": "TAKE_PROFIT",
"tradeID": "4004",
"price": "1.09099",
"timeInForce": "GTC",
"triggerCondition": "DEFAULT",
"state": "PENDING"
}
}
],
"lastTransactionID": "4010"
}
And Classes:
public class TakeProfitOrder
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string createTime { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public string tradeID { get; set; }
public string price { get; set; }
public string timeInForce { get; set; }
public string triggerCondition { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
public class Trade
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string instrument { get; set; }
public string price { get; set; }
public string openTime { get; set; }
public string initialUnits { get; set; }
public string initialMarginRequired { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string currentUnits { get; set; }
public string realizedPL { get; set; }
public string financing { get; set; }
public string dividendAdjustment { get; set; }
public string unrealizedPL { get; set; }
public string marginUsed { get; set; }
public TakeProfitOrder takeProfitOrder { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Trade> trades { get; set; }
public string lastTransactionID { get; set; }
}
I deserialize with :
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(Json);
var price = result.trades.Select(p => p.price).ToList();
price.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
It works. I can access "price" in "trades", but I do not know how to access the "price" in "takeProfitOrder". I need the value of "price" from "takeProfitOrder" in to a list. I am sure it is something very simple but I cannot figure out how to do it, even after looking at some similar examples.
Can somebody please help me?

It's simple
result.trades.Select(p => p.takeProfitOrder.price)
You should understand better from this example
foreach (Trade trade in result.trades)
{
TakeProfitOrder takeProfitOrder = trade.takeProfitOrder;
Console.WriteLine(takeProfitOrder.price);
}

how can to parse in c# JSON with dynamic key using JSON.NET or any other package

Hi guys i am having problem how can i parse JSON with this data because as you can see below the data_0 key is incrementing i am having confusion how can i parse it using my models
{
"status": {
"connection_status": "successful",
"operation_status": "successful",
"Customer": {
"data_0": {
"id": "123321",
"FirstName": "testFirstname",
"LastName": "testlastname"
},
"data_1": {
"id": "321123",
"FirstName": "testFirstname",
"LastName": "testlastname",
}
}
}
}
this is my model
public class GetAccountBalanceResponseModel
{
public Stat status { get; set; }
}
public class Stat
{
public string connection_status { get; set; }
public string operation_status { get; set; }
public Custmer Customer { get; set; }
}
public class Custmer
{
public Datas data { get; set; } -- i am having problem with this one
}
public class Datas
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public string accountBalance { get; set; }
}

Use Dictionary<string, Datas> for property Customer in Stat class,
public class Stat
{
public string connection_status { get; set; }
public string operation_status { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, Datas> Customer { get; set; }
}
Usage:
GetAccountBalanceResponseModel model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GetAccountBalanceResponseModel>(json);
foreach (var item in model.status.Customer)
{
Console.WriteLine("Key: " + item.Key);
Console.WriteLine("Id: " + item.Value.id);
Console.WriteLine("FirstName: " + item.Value.FirstName);
Console.WriteLine("LastName: " + item.Value.LastName);
Console.WriteLine();
}
Output:

Just change your Stat class a little:
public class Stat
{
public string connection_status { get; set; }
public string operation_status { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, Datas> Customer { get; set; }
}
Then you can use something like stat.Customer["data_0"].email

C# Deserialize Facebook JSON starting with random key

Hello still a newb (student) to C#, I was wondering how to deserialize this kind of JSON data (with JsonConvert and a model class)

This is what you have to do.
Step 1: Convert your json to Dictionary.
var dataDictionary = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, FBModel>>(yourJsonstring);
Step 2: Then get list of object
List<FBModel> data=new List<FBModel>();
foreach (var item in dataDictionary)
{
data.Add(item.Value);
}
Step 2 can be done as a linq query
List<FBModel> data= dataDictionary.Select(item => item.Value).ToList();
Update
your class structure should be like below to access the event data.
public class FBModel
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Events Events { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return ID + ": " + Name;
}
}
public class Events
{
public List<Data> Data { get; set; }
}

{
public string Description { get; set; }
public string End_Time { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Place Place { get; set; }
public string Start_Time { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
}
public class Place
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public Location Location { get; set; }
}
public class Location
{
public string City { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string Latitude { get; set; }
public string Longitude { get; set; }
public string Street { get; set; }
public string Zip { get; set; }
}

Json Deserialize Exception

I'm trying to run the following code, but get an exception:
An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException'
occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.DLL but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Error converting value "country" to type
'LocalGasPrices.Station'. Path '', line 1, position 9.
var jsonObj = JObject.Parse(URL);
var results = jsonObj["stations"].Children().Values();
var details = new List<Station>();
foreach (JToken result in results)
{
var st = result.ToString();
var searchResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Station>(st);
details.Add(searchResult);
}
foreach (Station s in details)
{
this.txtDebug.Text += s.address;
}
And here are the classes for the JsonDeserialization:
public class Status
{
public string error { get; set; }
public int code { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
}
public class GeoLocation
{
public string city_id { get; set; }
public string city_long { get; set; }
public string region_short { get; set; }
public string region_long { get; set; }
public string country_long { get; set; }
public string country_id { get; set; }
public string region_id { get; set; }
}
public class Station
{
public string country { get; set; }
public string price { get; set; }
public string address { get; set; }
public string diesel { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public string lat { get; set; }
public string lng { get; set; }
public string station { get; set; }
public string region { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
public string distance { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Status status { get; set; }
public GeoLocation geoLocation { get; set; }
public List<Station> stations { get; set; }
}
And here is an example of the JSON response:
{
"status": {
"error": "NO",
"code": 200,
"description": "none",
"message": "Request ok"
},
"geoLocation": {
"city_id": "147",
"city_long": "Saint-Laurent",
"region_short": "QC",
"region_long": "Quebec",
"country_long": "Canada",
"country_id": "43",
"region_id": "35"
},
"stations": [
{
"country": "Canada",
"price": "3.65",
"address": "3885, Boulevard Saint-Rose",
"diesel": "0",
"id": "33862",
"lat": "45.492367",
"lng": "-73.710915",
"station": "Shell",
"region": "Quebec",
"city": "Saint-Laurent",
"date": "3 hours agp",
"distance": "1.9km"
}
]
}

I believe you don't need .Values() in results, .Values() selected the properties of the station.
var results = jsonObj["stations"].Children();

Use the following:
var details = jsonObj["stations"].Select(t => t.ToObject<Station>()).ToList();

change Your class name as "stations" which you get in JSON.

try something like this:
public class JsonData
{
[JsonProperty("status")]
public JObject Status{get;set;}
[JsonProperty("geoLocation")]
public JObject Location{get;set;}
[JsonProperty("stations")]
public List<JObject> Stations{get;set;}
}
public class FinalData
{
public Status StatusField{get;set;}
public GeoLocation LocationField{get;set;}
public List<Station> StationsList{get;set;}
}
}
then
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
JsonReader reader = new JsonTextReader(new StringReader(your_json));
var jObj = serializer.Deserialize<JsonData>(reader);
var result = new FinalData();
result.StatusField = new Status{ message = jObj.Status["message"].ToString();};
result.LocationField = new GeoLocation{jObj.location["city_id"].ToString();};
result.StationsList = new List<Station>();
foreach(var row = jObj.Stations)
{
result.StationsList.Add(new Station{country = row["country"].ToString(), address = row["address"].ToString()};
}

Try the following.
First create a RootObject
public class RootObject
{
public RootObject(){}
public Status status {get;set;}
public GeoLocation GeoLocation {get;set;}
public List<Stations> Stations {get;set;}
}
public class Status
{
public Status(){}
[JsonProperty("error")]
public string Error {get;set;}
//all properties
}
public class GeoLocation
{
public GeoLocation{get;set;}
[JsonProperty("city_id")]
public int CityId {get;set;}
//all properties
}
public class Station
{
public Station(){}
// all properties just like previous classes
}
Then:
var result = serializer.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonInput);
this should give you the RootObject with a status, GeoLocation and list of stations.

Converting Json code to C# (numbers as keys)

I get some json code from web services in Windows Phone 8. I generate my entities class thanks to the site json2csharp (http://json2csharp.com/). But there is a web service that has strange json code, like this. There is numbering as keys (0,1,2):
{
"service": "MainMapService",
"func": "getPlacesByAxes",
"result": {
"0": {
"id": "13478",
"date": "0",
"id_cat": "1",
"id_cat_sub": "0",
"id_user": "0",
},
"2": {
"id": "23272",
"date": "0",
"id_cat": "1",
"id_cat_sub": "0",
"id_user": "667"
},
"1": {
"id": "21473",
"date": "0",
"id_cat": "1",
"id_cat_sub": "0",
"id_user": "0"
}
},
"args": [
"1",
"50.8",
"4.5",
"1"
]
}
And json2csharp generates classes like this... Each class for a number:
public class __invalid_type__0
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
public string id_cat { get; set; }
public string id_cat_sub { get; set; }
public string id_user { get; set; }
}
public class __invalid_type__2
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
public string id_cat { get; set; }
public string id_cat_sub { get; set; }
public string id_user { get; set; }
}
public class __invalid_type__1
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
public string id_cat { get; set; }
public string id_cat_sub { get; set; }
public string id_user { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public __invalid_type__0 __invalid_name__0 { get; set; }
public __invalid_type__2 __invalid_name__2 { get; set; }
public __invalid_type__1 __invalid_name__1 { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string service { get; set; }
public string func { get; set; }
public Result result { get; set; }
public List<string> args { get; set; }
}
So, the problem comes from the numbering keys and there may be several numbers. Do you know how can I resolve this? I can't change the Json code...
Thank you in advance

This is far from elegant, but give it a try.
So, what is my idea:
I have created two classes
RootObject helper
public class YourJsonClass
{
public string service { get; set; }
public string func { get; set; }
public dynamic result { get; set; }
public string[] args { get; set; }
}
result helper
public class Item
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
public string id_cat { get; set; }
public string id_cat_sub { get; set; }
public string id_user { get; set; }
}
I'm using newtonsoft json
var m_res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourJsonClass>(YourJsonResponce);
foreach (dynamic numb in m_res.result)
{
string m_name = numb.Name; // it will be "1", "0" or whatever
string h = numb.Value.ToString();
var m_value = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Item>(h);
}
... indeed there are better ways, but i hope this will help (:
