从javascriptserializer反序列化数据表中的json

Question

Hi I have to parse json data into datatable object. Bellow is my json data

{

"Figurative Expressions (Idioms)" : {

 "A" : [
         {
            "One word" : "Above all",
            "Phrase" : "chiefly, before everything else"
         },
         {
            "One word" : "Above-board",
            "Phrase" : "not open to question, honest, straight-forward, beyond reproach"
         },
         {
            "One word" : "Above-par",
            "Phrase" : "of superior quality"
         },
         {
            "One word" : "On account of ",
            "Phrase" : "for the sake of"
         },
         {
            "One word" : "On no account",
            "Phrase" : "not for any reason"
         },
         {
            "One word" : "To give a good account of oneself",
            "Phrase" : "to act with credit to oneself"
         }
      ]
   }

}

How do we parse this json data in datatable ?

As I tried with javascriptserializer , it was parsed successfully but didn't get anything in datatable .

JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer(); 
DataTable data1 = js.Deserialize<DataTable>(text);

It could be due to the fact that the Json in your example is not a pure array - but rather an object with one attribute called A which is the actual array.

My suggestion is to try to deserialize only text that defines A attribute (starting with square bracket) - so pure Json array. This should deserialise into a Datatable fine.
