Error while using Newtonsoft.Json to parse a Json string

Question

My JSON string looks like this. Please note that it has escape characters.

string json = "\"{\\\"Status\\\":true,\\\"ID\\\":24501}\"";

When I use the Parse method like below I run into an error stated below:

JObject o = JObject.Parse(json);

Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an object: String

How do I get rid of this error or is there any other method to parse my json string and fetch the values?

Answer 1

Remove first and last quotes:

string json = "{\"Status\":true,\"ID\":24501}";

See the Json format here.

Answer 2

It seems like your object is double encoded. Try:

string json = "{\"Status\":true,\"ID\":24501}";
