Json conversion conundrum due to mixed type in List

All - I've stumbled into a scenario that's causing me quite a bit of grief. I have a json structure (produced by gateio api) which on the face of it, looks super simple to deserialize into an object. the jsonTickerString looks like the below:
{
"method":"ticker.update",
"params":[
"BTC_USDT",
{
"period":86400,
"open":"46721.06",
"close":"48130.43",
"high":"48758.59",
"low":"46330.3",
"last":"48130.43",
"change":"2.95",
"quoteVolume":"2246.8399550054",
"baseVolume":"106183751.468785134437"
}
],
"id":null
}
However, this is proving to be deceptively funky when trying to push it into an object model. I derived the object model below and thought we were all set to go:
public partial class GateIoTicker
{
[JsonProperty("method")]
public string Method { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("params")]
public List<ParamElement> Params { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("id")]
public object Id { get; set; }
}
public class ParamClass
{
[JsonProperty("period")]
public long Period { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("open")]
public string Open { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("close")]
public string Close { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("high")]
public string High { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("low")]
public string Low { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("last")]
public string Last { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("change")]
public string Change { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("quoteVolume")]
public string QuoteVolume { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("baseVolume")]
public string BaseVolume { get; set; }
}
public partial struct ParamElement
{
public string coinName;
public ParamClass quoteParams;
public static implicit operator ParamElement(ParamClass quoteparams)
{
return new ParamElement { quoteParams = quoteparams };
}
public static implicit operator ParamElement(string coinname)
{
return new ParamElement { coinName = coinname };
}
}
I then set about populating the object using the standard Json.Net approach:
var gateIoTicker = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GateIoTicker>(jsonTickerString);
However, although this correctly deserializes the string element in the "params" object, no amount of coersion will bring about a deserialization of the ParamClass object.
Am I missing something very obvious here?? I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure this out and think it's now time to solicit some superior brain power.
Hope this scans as expected...
[Edit] - further to Serge's suggestion, i took his code and added it as a method on my GatIoTicker object. Would have preferred an option that desrializes using attributes, but this works perfectly. Refactored code looks like:
public partial class GateIoTicker
{
[JsonProperty("method")]
public string Method { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("params")]
public List<ParamElement> Params { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("id")]
public object Id { get; set; }
public GateIoTicker FromJson(string json)
{
var jsonObject = JObject.Parse(json);
var pars = jsonObject["params"] as JArray;
var paramElement = new ParamElement();
foreach (var jObject in pars)
{
if (jObject.GetType().Name.ToString() == "JValue") paramElement.ParamName = ((JValue)jObject).ToString();
else
{
paramElement.ParamBody = jObject.ToObject<ParamClass>();
}
}
GateIoTicker gateIoTicker = new GateIoTicker { Params = new List<ParamElement>() };
gateIoTicker.Id = (string)jsonObject["Id"];
gateIoTicker.Method = (string)jsonObject["method"];
gateIoTicker.Params.Add(paramElement);
return gateIoTicker;
}
}
public partial class ParamElement
{
public string ParamName { get; set; }
public ParamClass ParamBody {get; set;}
}
thanks again for the suggestions and nudges. seasons greetings

Try this, it was tested in Visual studio
var jsonObject = JObject.Parse(json);
var pars = jsonObject["params"] as JArray;
var paramElement = new ParamElement();
foreach (var jObject in pars)
{
if (jObject.GetType().Name.ToString() == "JValue") paramElement.ParamName = ((JValue)jObject).ToString();
else
{
paramElement.ParamBody=jObject.ToObject<ParamClass>();
}
}
GateIoTicker gateIoTicker = new GateIoTicker {Params= new List<ParamElement>()};
gateIoTicker.Id= (string) jsonObject["Id"];
gateIoTicker.Method= (string) jsonObject["method"];
gateIoTicker.Params.Add(paramElement);
ParamElement class
public partial class ParamElement
{
public string ParamName { get; set; }
public ParamClass ParamBody {get; set;}
}

Serializing Response Inside A Class As A List

I'm trying to fetch Symptoms from an API. I can fetch them already and I'm serializing it inside a class succesfully. The result looks like in image that i share at below:
There are just IDs and Names inside them. The second table from API is like that:
So here my Entity Class;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class SymptomousInBodySublocations
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool HasRedFlag { get; set; }
public ICollection<BodyLocations> HealthSymptomLocationIDs { get; set; }
public string ProfName { get; set; }
public List<string> Synonyms { get; set; }
}
And my Serialize Method:
public static List<SymptomousInBodySublocations> SymptomsInBodySublocations()
{
var client = new RestClient("https://priaid-symptom-checker-v1.p.rapidapi.com/symptoms/31/man?format=json&language=en-gb");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("x-rapidapi-host", "priaid-symptom-checker-v1.p.rapidapi.com");
request.AddHeader("x-rapidapi-key", "<api-key>");
List<SymptomousInBodySublocations> SymptomsInBodySublocationsList = new List<SymptomousInBodySublocations>();
var response = client.Execute<List<SymptomousInBodySublocations>>(request);
foreach(SymptomousInBodySublocations variables in response.Data)
{
SymptomsInBodySublocationsList.Add(variables);
}
return SymptomsInBodySublocationsList;
}
And my BodyLocations Class:
public class BodyLocations
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
In this point when i tried to fetch my data inside my List<BodyLocations>() the response.Data is empty. What should i do?

HealthSymptomLocationIDs isn't an object, looking at the response it is an array of integers.
Changing the field to match the response should populate the field with the integer values from the API
public List<int> HealthSymptomLocationIDs { get; set; }

Deserialize CSV string to an C# Object

I have a response from Jira API, require to be deserialized into data model:
com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint#40675167[id=10151,rapidViewId=171,state=CLOSED,name=Sprint 37.1,startDate=2015-07-30T16:00:22.000+03:00,endDate=2015-08-13T16:00:00.000+03:00,completeDate=2015-08-13T14:31:34.343+03:00,sequence=10151]
This is actually the information of current sprint for issue.
I need to deserialize it to a model like:
public class Model
{
public string name { get; set; }
...
}
I have already removed all non-required information, like com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint#40675167 using Regex pattern \[(.*?)\] so I have brackets and all inside.
Now I stopped completely trying to find the a way to convert this string to a data model.

Found the following thread at the Atlassian Answers page and there appears to be no JSON representation of that inner Object. As shown in the example from that thread:
customfield_10007:[
"com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint#a29f07[rapidViewId=<null>,state=CLOSED,name=NORD - Sprint 42,startDate=2013-07-29T06:47:00.000+02:00,endDate=2013-08-11T20:47:00.000+02:00,completeDate=2013-08-14T15:31:33.157+02:00,id=107]",
"com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint#769133[rapidViewId=<null>,state=ACTIVE,name=NORD - Sprint 43,startDate=2013-08-14T15:32:47.322+02:00,endDate=2013-08-23T15:32:47.322+02:00,completeDate=<null>,id=117]"
],
The response is indeed a JSON array, but the array itself contains CSV's, so you can make use of the following to parse that:
public class DataObject
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string rapidViewId { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string startDate { get; set; }
public string endDate { get; set; }
public string completeDate { get; set; }
public string sequence { get; set; }
}
public class Program
{
private const string sampleStringData =
#"[id=10151,rapidViewId=171,state=CLOSED,name=Sprint 37.1,startDate=2015-07-30T16:00:22.000+03:00,endDate=2015-08-13T16:00:00.000+03:00,completeDate=2015-08-13T14:31:34.343+03:00,sequence=10151]";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var dataObject = new DataObject();
string[][] splitted;
var sampleWithNoBrackets = sampleStringData.Substring(1,sampleStringData.Length-2);
splitted = sampleWithNoBrackets.Split(',').Select(p => p.Split('=')).ToArray();
dataObject.id = splitted[0][1];
dataObject.rapidViewId = splitted[1][1];
dataObject.state = splitted[2][1];
dataObject.name = splitted[3][1];
dataObject.startDate = splitted[4][1];
dataObject.endDate = splitted[5][1];
dataObject.completeDate = splitted[6][1];
dataObject.sequence = splitted[7][1];
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
Here's the output for the above:

Deserialize JSON with dynamic objects

I have a JSON object that comes with a long list of area codes. Unfortunately each area code is the object name on a list in the Data object. How do I create a class that will allow RestSharp to deserialize the content?
Here's how my class looks now:
public class phaxioResponse
{
public string success { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public List<areaCode> data { get; set; }
public class areaCode
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
}
And here's the JSON content:
{
success: true
message: "277 area codes available."
data: {
201: {
city: "Bayonne, Jersey City, Union City"
state: "New Jersey"
}
202: {
city: "Washington"
state: "District Of Columbia"
} [...]
}

Since this JSON is not C# friendly, I had to do a little bit of hackery to make it come out properly. However, the result is quite nice.
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(sampleJson);
var data = ((JObject)json.data).Children();
var stuff = data.Select(x => new { AreaCode = x.Path.Split('.')[1], City = x.First()["city"], State = x.Last()["state"] });
This code will generate an anonymous type that best represents the data. However, the anonymous type could be easily replaced by a ctor for a more normal DTO class.
The output looks something like this:

your json is incorrect, but if you do correct it you can use a json-to-csharp tool like the one on http://json2csharp.com/ to generate your classes:
public class __invalid_type__201
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public __invalid_type__201 __invalid_name__201 { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public bool success { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public Data data { get; set; }
}

I don't know anything about RestSharp, but if you're using Newtonsoft on the server side, then you can just pass a JObject to your method. Then you can interrogate the object to see what type of object it really is and use JObject.ToObject() to convert it.

I think using Dictionary<int,areaCode> is the easiest way.
public class phaxioResponse
{
public string success { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public Dictionary<int,areaCode> data { get; set; }
public class areaCode
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
}
Then:
var res= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<phaxioResponse>(json);
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", res.data));

Displaying JSON data using RestSharp

I am trying to display data collected from RestSharp. Just for example i have the following code but don't know how to display the data as it currently is.
private void readJSON()
{
string url = "http://www.jsonurl.com";
var restClient = new RestClient(url);
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
//82.147.22.3
//What we are requesting:value
request.AddParameter("apikey", "xxxxxtheapikeygoesherexxxxx");
restClient.ExecuteAsync<Entry>(request, response =>
{
//What to do with the JSON?
});
}
I know i need to place the JSON between the ExecuteAsync<>() but i want to be able to take the data and for example place it into a listbox. Below is an example of the result given back to me from JSONtoSharp.com. code:
public class Change
{
public string direction { get; set; }
public int amount { get; set; }
public int actual { get; set; }
}
public class itementry
{
public int position { get; set; }
public int prePosition { get; set; }
public int Weeks { get; set; }
public string ar { get; set; }
public string ti { get; set; }
public Change ch { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int charDate { get; set; }
public int retrieved { get; set; }
public List<Entry> entries { get; set; }
}
I am sure the answer is simple as glass and I just need help as i am completely lost in this one.. cant find any good documentation to help me out!
Note: This is for C# on Windows Phone 7 using RestSharp and Newtonsoft

restClient.ExecuteAsync<Entry>(request, response =>
{
//Supply your JSON data to a callback
Callback(response.Data);
});
public void Callback(string jsonResponse)
{
var responseList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonResponse);
//Assuming you have properly setup binding properties for Listbox, databind listbox here
YourListBox.ItemsSource = responseList.entries;
}
Here JsonConvert is from NewtonSoft package
