This is the JSON response that I'm getting from an app, and there are a lot of other API gets that are returning the same kind of response (nested), so this has to be done dynamically as the user is adding API calls from a config file, so I cannot make pre-made classes with gets and sets. My goal is to transform this data into a datatable to be inserted into a database When I see a nested column, my goal is to have the parent column name attached to it with an "_" ex: category_id = "" or integrations_xero_basecurrency = "", etc..
This is the code that I used to tabulate the data, but in the code it's only taking the column if it's a JValue (key and value), and I'm not able for the life of me to create a proper loop that will do the trick.
public DataTable Tabulate(string jsonContent)
{
var jsonLinq = JObject.Parse(jsonContent);
// Find the first array using Linq
var srcArray = jsonLinq.Descendants().Where(d => d is JArray).First();
//Console.WriteLine("extarcted data:" + srcArray);
var trgArray = new JArray();
foreach (JObject row in srcArray.Children<JObject>())
{
var cleanRow = new JObject();
foreach (JProperty column in row.Properties())
{
// Only include JValue types
if (column.Value is JValue)
{
cleanRow.Add(column.Name, column.Value);
}
}
trgArray.Add(cleanRow);
}
DataTable dt = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DataTable>(trgArray.ToString());
return dt;
}
How about something like this:
public DataTable Tabulate(string jsonContent)
{
var jsonLinq = JObject.Parse(jsonContent);
// Find the first array using Linq
var arrayProp = jsonLinq.Properties().First(p => p.Value is JArray);
var srcArray = (JArray)arrayProp.Value;
// Set up a regex consisting of the array property name and subscript
// (e.g. "projects[0]."), which we will strip off
var regex = new Regex($@"^{arrayProp.Name}\[\d+\]\.");
// Flatten each object of the original array
// into new objects and put them in a new array
var trgArray = new JArray(
srcArray.Children<JObject>()
.Select(row => new JObject(
row.Descendants()
.OfType<JProperty>()
.Where(p => p.Value is JValue)
.Select(p => new JProperty(
regex.Replace(p.Value.Path, "").Replace(".", "_"),
p.Value
))
))
);
// Convert the new array to a DataTable
DataTable dt = trgArray.ToObject<DataTable>();
return dt;
}
