Finding a node (JObject) within JArray using JSON.NET library

Question

I am using JSON.NET library. I have created few JObjects and added them to a JArray.

JArray array = new JArray();

JObject obj = new JObject();
obj.Add(new JProperty("text", "One"));
obj.Add(new JProperty("leaf", false));
array.Add(obj);

obj = new JObject();
obj.Add(new JProperty("text", "Two"));
obj.Add(new JProperty("leaf", false));
array.Add(obj);

obj = new JObject();
obj.Add(new JProperty("text", "Three"));
obj.Add(new JProperty("leaf", true));
array.Add(obj);

Now I want to find a JObject who's text (JProperty) is Two. How can I find a JObject within a JArray by using a JProperty.

Answer 1

You can find it like this:

JObject jo = array.Children<JObject>()
    .FirstOrDefault(o => o["text"] != null && o["text"].ToString() == "Two");

This will find the first JObject in the JArray having a property named text with a value of Two. If no such JObject exists, then jo will be null.
