I'm trying to pull one specific piece of data from the json received from a geocoding request. This is not a duplicate of the myriads of similar-sounding questions, because the json is dynamic and has extremely irregular arrays that change slightly between responses, so I can't create a model to parse to, neither can I navigate through it using key names.
This is the json of one response:
{
"Response":{
"MetaInfo":{
"Timestamp":"2019-07-28T13:23:04.898+0000"
},
"View":[
{
"_type":"SearchResultsViewType",
"ViewId":0,
"Result":[
{
"Relevance":1.0,
"MatchLevel":"houseNumber",
"MatchQuality":{
"City":1.0,
"Street":[
0.9
],
"HouseNumber":1.0
},
"MatchType":"pointAddress",
"Location":{
"LocationId":"NT_Opil2LPZVRLZjlWNLJQuWB_0ITN",
"LocationType":"point",
"DisplayPosition":{
"Latitude":41.88432,
"Longitude":-87.63877
},
"NavigationPosition":[
{
"Latitude":41.88449,
"Longitude":-87.63877
}
],
"MapView":{
"TopLeft":{
"Latitude":41.8854442,
"Longitude":-87.64028
},
"BottomRight":{
"Latitude":41.8831958,
"Longitude":-87.63726
}
},
"Address":{
"Label":"425 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60606, United States",
"Country":"USA",
"State":"IL",
"County":"Cook",
"City":"Chicago",
"District":"West Loop",
"Street":"W Randolph St",
"HouseNumber":"425",
"PostalCode":"60606",
"AdditionalData":[
{
"value":"United States",
"key":"CountryName"
},
{
"value":"Illinois",
"key":"StateName"
},
{
"value":"Cook",
"key":"CountyName"
},
{
"value":"N",
"key":"PostalCodeType"
}
]
}
}
}
]
}
]
}
}
I'm trying to get just the two coordinates inside NavigationPosition.
Before I start the tedious work of creating a method to manually pull out the data I need from the unparsed string, does anyone have a solution? Is there a way to iterate anonymously through the json arrays using a foreach or if statement?
If the response is dynamic then one option is to use dynamic deserialization
var dynamicObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonAsString);
You can iterate this object and write defensive code by checking null. I am assuming that "NavigationPosition" will always lie under "location" and in turn under a list of "Result" under list of "View"
something like this.. (symbolic code)
if(dynamicObject.View != null && dynamicObject.View[0] != null && dynamicObject.View[0].Result[0] != null && dynamicObject.View[0].Result[0].Location != null )
{
var navigationPosition = dynamicObject.View[0].Result[0].Location.NavigationPosition;
// do something with it
}
It seems really cumbersome but if you have no control over json response, I think you should be able to get it right after some iterations :)
