How can I deserialize JSON containing delimited JSON?

Question

I have a problem with deserializing a Json-string to an object.

This is a sample json i receive from a webservice:

{
    \"GetDataResult\":
                  


        

Answer 1

The json response contains an object that within itself contains a json string representing the data result.

You need to deserialize twice, once for the response and one more for the data result.

var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(responseStr);
var dataResult = (string)response["GetDataResult"];
var cityData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CityData>(dataResult);
