Extract data from fired event

Question

In my Xamarin.Forms app I use a socket.IO library that fetches data from a Node.js server but I don't know about extracting the data from my result. The example method looks like this:

socket.On("event", (data) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(data);
});

When the result is a simple string, I can directly use it as in the console function above. But how do I extract the data when the result is a unknown datatype that contains multiple information, like this?

let send = {'firstString': string1, 'secondString': string2}

I guess a way could be to make the result a JSON object and read it out by it's keys but I don't know if that's a good way and how this would be done.

Answer 1

use Json.Net to parse the json

JObject obj = JObject.Parse(data);

var first = obj["firstString"].Value;
var second = obj["secondString"].Value;
