Json.NET (Newtonsoft.Json) - Two 'properties' with same name?

Question

I\'m coding in C# for the .NET Framework 3.5.

I am trying to parse some Json to a JObject.

The Json is as follows:

{
    \"TBox\": {
                 


        

Answer 1

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

JsonTextReader jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(reader);
jsonReader.Read();
while(jsonReader.Read())
{
    if(jsonReader.TokenType == JsonToken.StartObject)
    {
        JObject tbox = JObject.Load(jsonReader);
    }
}

However, note that the RFC says, "The names within an object SHOULD be unique" so if you can, recommend the format be changed.

EDIT: Here's an alternate design that doesn't have duplicate keys:

[
    {
        "TBox": {
            "Width": 1,
            "Length": 1,
            "Name": "SmallBox",
            "Height": 2
        }
    },
    {
        "TBox": {
            "Width": 10,
            "Length": 5,
            "Name": "MedBox",
            "Height": 10
        }
    },
    {
        "TBox": {
            "Width": 20,
            "Length": 20,
            "Name": "LargeBox",
            "Height": 10
        }
    }
]
