I am trying to read my JSON result.
Here is my RootObject
public class RootObject
{
public int id { get; set; }
public bool is_default { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public int quantity { get; set; }
public string stock { get; set; }
public string unit_cost { get; set; }
}
Here is my JSON result
[{"id": 3636, "is_default": true, "name": "Unit", "quantity": 1, "stock": "100000.00", "unit_cost": "0"}, {"id": 4592, "is_default": false, "name": "Bundle", "quantity": 5, "stock": "100000.00", "unit_cost": "0"}]
Here is my code to read the result
public static RootObject GetItems(string user, string key, Int32 tid, Int32 pid)
{
// Customize URL according to geo location parameters
var url = string.Format(uniqueItemUrl, user, key, tid, pid);
// Syncronious Consumption
var syncClient = new WebClient();
var content = syncClient.DownloadString(url);
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(content);
}
But I am having a problem with this error :
Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'avaris_cash_salepoint.BL.UniqueItemDataRootObject' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array. Path '', line 1, position 1.
at this line: return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);
Any help to fix this error ?
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array.
A common way to deserialize JSON is to first create a class with properties and fields that represent one or more of the JSON properties. Then, to deserialize from a string or a file, call the JsonSerializer. Deserialize method.
A JSON array contains zero, one, or more ordered elements, separated by a comma. The JSON array is surrounded by square brackets [ ] . A JSON array is zero terminated, the first index of the array is zero (0). Therefore, the last index of the array is length - 1.
I think the problem you're having is that your JSON is a list of objects when it comes in and it doesnt directly relate to your root class.
var content
would look something like this (i assume):
[
{
"id": 3636,
"is_default": true,
"name": "Unit",
"quantity": 1,
"stock": "100000.00",
"unit_cost": "0"
},
{
"id": 4592,
"is_default": false,
"name": "Bundle",
"quantity": 5,
"stock": "100000.00",
"unit_cost": "0"
}
]
Note: make use of http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ to format your JSON.
So if you try the following it should work:
public static List<RootObject> GetItems(string user, string key, Int32 tid, Int32 pid)
{
// Customize URL according to geo location parameters
var url = string.Format(uniqueItemUrl, user, key, tid, pid);
// Syncronious Consumption
var syncClient = new WebClient();
var content = syncClient.DownloadString(url);
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<RootObject>>(content);
}
You will need to then iterate if you don't wish to return a list of RootObject
.
I went ahead and tested this in a Console app, worked fine.
You can use this to solve your problem:
private async void btn_Go_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
HttpClient webClient = new HttpClient();
Uri uri = new Uri("http://www.school-link.net/webservice/get_student/?id=" + txtVCode.Text);
HttpResponseMessage response = await webClient.GetAsync(uri);
var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var _Data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject <List<Student>>(jsonString);
foreach (Student Student in _Data)
{
tb1.Text = Student.student_name;
}
}
