How to access children values of a JObject

Question

I have a JObject item that looks like this:

{

        "part":
         {
             "values": ["engine","body","door"]
             "isDelivered": "true"
        },
        {
        "manufacturer":
         {
             "values": ["Mercedes"]
             "isDelivered": "false" 
         }
}

How can I get the values as a single string in C#?

Answer 1

First create JObject from your string

String json = "{\"part\":{ \"values\": [\"engine\",\"body\",\"door\"], \"isDelivered\": \"true\"},\"manufacturer\":{\"values\": [\"Mercedes\"],\"isDelivered\": \"false\"}}";
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(json);

Then get values array (from part for example as)

JArray jArray= (JArray)jObject["part"]["values"];

Convert JArray of String to string array

string[] valuesArray = jArray.ToObject<string[]>();

Join your string array & create a singe string

String values = string.Join(",",valuesArray);

Full code here ..

String json = "{\"part\":{ \"values\": [\"engine\",\"body\",\"door\"], \"isDelivered\": \"true\"},\"manufacturer\":{\"values\": [\"Mercedes\"],\"isDelivered\": \"false\"}}";
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(json);
JArray jArray= (JArray)jObject["part"]["values"];
string[] valuesArray = jArray.ToObject<string[]>();
String values = string.Join(",",valuesArray);
Console.WriteLine(values);
