Parsing a complex JSON result with C#

Question

I am trying to parse the following complex JSON result, which is returned from the Zoho Crm API:

{
\"response\":
{
    \"result\":
    {
        \"Contacts\":
           


        

Answer 1

Use the below classes for de-serializing using JSON.Net

public class ResponseActual
{

    [JsonProperty("response")]
    public Response2 Response { get; set; }
}

public class Response2
{

    [JsonProperty("result")]
    public Result Result { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("uri")]
    public string Uri { get; set; }
}

public class Result
{

    [JsonProperty("Contacts")]
    public Contacts Contacts { get; set; }
}

public class Contacts
{

    [JsonProperty("row")]
    public IList Row { get; set; }
}

  public class Row
{

    [JsonProperty("no")]
    public string No { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("FL")]
    public IList FL { get; set; }
}

 public class FL
{

    [JsonProperty("content")]
    public string Content { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("val")]
    public string Val { get; set; }
}

//To De-serialize
ResponseActual respone = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jSON_sTRING)

//Get the contacts list
List contacts = respone.Response.Result.Contacts.Row[0].FL.ToList();

//Now Get the required value using LINQ
var value = contacts.Where((s, e) => s.Val =="Email").Select(x=>x.Content).Single();
