C# JSON Parsing

Question

I have problems parsing some JSON data:

{
    \"title\": \"LED SIDE DIRECTION INDICATOR 9-33V CATEGORY 6, 19cm CABLE CHROME BASE  LED AUTO LAMPS\",
    \"us         


        

Answer 1

This works with your json

var dict = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(testJson);

Console.WriteLine(dict["url"]);

var price = (Dictionary<string, object>)dict["user_price"];
Console.WriteLine(price["inc_tax_value"]);

Answer 2

If the fields of the json object are always the same, then you could use strong typed classes instead of dictionaries. The json serializer will serialize correctly to the following classes:

private class MyJsonClass
{
    public string title { get; set; }
    public UserPrice user_price { get; set; }
    public int local_quantity { get; set; }
    ...
}

private class UserPrice
{
    public decimal inc_tax_value { get; set; }
    public decimal ex_tax_value { get; set; }
    ...
}
