How to iterate through object containing other object types in C#

Question

(Complete noob here, appologies if I'm unclear!) I have been using Riot Games' API to get information of a players stats on specific characters in a game. I used Json2CSharp in order to create the following data object.

public class Data
        {
            public Aatrox Aatrox { get; set; }
            public Ahri Ahri { get; set; }
            public Akali Akali { get; set; }
            public Alistar Alistar { get; set; }
            public Amumu Amumu { get; set; }
            public Anivia Anivia { get; set; }
            public Annie Annie { get; set; }
            public Ashe Ashe { get; set; }

            public Zilean Zilean { get; set; }
            public Zyra Zyra { get; set; }

        }

each champion's respective object looking like the below:

public class Ziggs
        {
            public string version { get; set; }
            public string id { get; set; }
            public string key { get; set; }
            public string name { get; set; }
            public string title { get; set; }
            public string blurb { get; set; }
            public Info132 info { get; set; }
            public Image132 image { get; set; }
            public List<string> tags { get; set; }
            public string partype { get; set; }
            public Stats132 stats { get; set; }
        }

What I'm trying to do is get at the ID for each champion, and have been trying with the for loop below:

foreach (var champion in ChampionData.data.GetType().GetProperties())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(champion.id);
            }

This however does not seem to allow me to access the ID, nor any of the other properties of the objects. I have been able to access the values calling them indervisually, however cannot figure out how I can iterate through the object.

Any advise would be really appreciated!

Edit: Here is where I'm getting the Json from: http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.24.1/data/en_US/champion.json

Answer 1

As described in the comments you need to define a single class that represents all of the Champions. In the example below I have simply renamed the Ziggs class in your question to Champion :

public class Champion
{
    public string version { get; set; }
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string key { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string title { get; set; }
    public string blurb { get; set; }
    public Info132 info { get; set; }
    public Image132 image { get; set; }
    public List<string> tags { get; set; }
    public string partype { get; set; }
    public Stats132 stats { get; set; }
}

Now you need to change your ChampionData class to use a dictionary to store these objects:

public class ChampionData
{
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string Format { get; set; }
    public string Version { get; set; }
    public Dictionary<string, Champion> Data { get; set; }
}

We have used a Dictionary<string, Champion> to represent the data elements in the JSON. Note the name needs to be Data to match the name in the JSON.

The parser will automatically parse the JSON into the dictionary, using the strings as the dictionary key:

"data": {
    "Aatrox": { "..." },
    "Ahri": { "..." },
    "Akali": { "..." },

So, "Aatrox", "Ahri", "Akali" will be the string part of the dictionary (ie the Key ) and the Champion part of the dictionary (ie the Value ) will contain all the data that is under each champion in the JSON.

You can now easily access any property of each Champion easily. So your foreach loop can be:

foreach (var c in data.Data)
{
    Console.WriteLine(c.Value.id);
}

NOTE: We need to use the Value property to access each Champion object that is linked to the Key part of the Dictionary
