I'm getting a bunch of JSON data back from a 3rd party API like this:
returnValue = data["value"].ToObject<List<T>>();
All but one of the fields are just basic name:value pairs like this:
"Name":"Value"
I map the values I need to a class like this:
public sealed class Project
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public DateTime ProjectDateLocal { get; set; }
public string ParentFolderName { get; set; }
public string ParentFolderId { get; set; }
//causing trouble
public Int32 ProjectTypeId { get; set; }
public string PlayerUrl
{
get
{
return "http://em.edu.edu/prj/Play/" + this.Id;
}
}
}
However, one name:value pair is complicated like this:
"CustomFieldValues":[
{
"FieldName":"ProjectTypeId","FieldDefinitionId":"37a2ffeb3bd441f6a60158458910a04d40","DataType":"Integer","Value":"100105"
}
]
I only need the FieldName(ProjectTypeId) and Value, is there a way to get just that have the class recognize that and set it in my ProjectTypeId property?
Thanks!
Use Json.net to deserialize JsonConvert.Deserialize<Project>(jsonStringContent)
Json.net will go multi levels, just add a new class and have your Project
have that property.
public class CustomFieldValue
{
public string FieldName {get;set;}
public string Value {get; set;}
}
and add a list of them to your Project.
public sealed class Project
{
public string Id { get; set; }
...
public List<CustomFieldValue> CustomFieldValues { get; set; }
}
Json.net won't have any problem with it. If you don't add FieldDefinitionId
, etc then Json.net will just ignore it.
As @viggity stated, you can use Newtonsoft for your problem and the solution provided is good. The only thing you have to do is provide a good string json to the Deserializer.
If you want a simpler solution why don't you use data["value"].ToObject<List<Project>>()
? Note: Assigning attributes like [JsonProperty("FieldNameFromJson")]
is ussefull for mappings.
