I'm really stuck on this problem now for 2 days, how can I get the data out of a deeply nested json object.
I have found an online json tools http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ http://jsonformat.com/ which when you paste your json into it, shows all the objects arrays etc, so I can dig down into the data and get the information I want.
When I debug the code and put a break point on: foreach (JToken data in rates.ToArray()) I can see the data I'm after, I just cannot get the data out, depends on what I try depends on the error I get, last error was.
Error converting value "@rateChange" to type 'Web.UI.Controllers.HomeController+RateInfo'.
Could not cast or convert from System.String to Web.UI.Controllers.HomeController+RateInfo.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
My class
public class RateInfo
{
public string RateChange { get; set; }
public string Promo { get; set; }
public string PriceBreakdown { get; set; }
public bool NonRefundable { get; set; }
public string RateType { get; set; }
public int CurrentAllotment { get; set; }
public int? PromoId { get; set; }
public string PromoDescription { get; set; }
public string PromoType { get; set; }
}
code
IList<JToken> rates = root["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"]["RateInfo"].Children().ToList();
IList<RateInfo> info = new List<RateInfo>();
foreach (JToken data in rates.ToArray())
{
RateInfo rateInfo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RateInfo>(data.ToString());
info.Add(rateInfo);
}

=============================This code works getting data out of summary array============
public class Hotelsummary
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address1 { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
public string CountryCode { get; set; }
public string ThumbNailUrl { get; set; }
public string ShortDescription { get; set; }
public double HotelRating { get; set; }
public double TripAdvisorRating { get; set; }
public string RateCurrencyCode { get; set; }
}
public IEnumerable<Hotelsummary> GetHotelsForLocationSearch()
{
var hotelDetails = GetHotelsFromEan.GetListOfHotels();
var root = JObject.Parse(hotelDetails.ToString());
IList<JToken> hotels = root["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"].Children().ToList();
IList<Hotelsummary> hotelsummaries = hotels.Select(result => JsonConvert
.DeserializeObject<Hotelsummary>(
result.ToString())).ToList();
return hotelsummaries;
}
But as soon as I try digging deeper into data, I cannot get the data I needs
453
Try this instead:
IList<JToken> rates = root["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"].Children().ToList();
EDIT:
var rateInfo = json["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"]["RateInfo"];
var result =JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RateInfo>( rateInfo .ToString() );
This extension method uses recursion to loop through a deep nested json and find the value for a jProperty.
public static TType JsonValue<TType>(this JObject obj, string key)
{
object result = null; //default to null if nothing is found
foreach (var item in obj)
{
var token = item;
if (token.Key.Equals(key, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
result = token.Value.ToObject<TType>(); //return the value found
break;
}
if (!obj[token.Key].Children().Any())
continue;
var jt = obj[token.Key].ToString();
if (!jt.StartsWith("["))
{
result = JsonValue<TType>(JObject.Parse(jt), key);
}
else
{
obj[token.Key].Children().ToList().ForEach(x =>
{
//only the first match will be returned
result = JsonValue<TType>(JObject.Parse(x.ToString()), key);
});
}
if (result != null)
break;
}
return (TType)result;
}
How to use:
var myValue = jsonObject.JsonValue<string>("propName");
var numbValue = jsonObject.JsonValue<long?>("propName2") ?? 0;
