Getting data from a deeply nested json object

Question

I\'m really stuck on this problem now for 2 days, how can I get the data out of a deeply nested json object.

I have found an online json tools http://www.jsoneditor

Answer 1

This extension method uses recursion to loop through a deep nested json and find the value for a jProperty.

      public static TType JsonValue<TType>(this JObject obj, string key)
    {
        object result = null; //default to null if nothing is found

        foreach (var item in obj)
        {
            var token = item;

            if (token.Key.Equals(key, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
            {
                result = token.Value.ToObject<TType>(); //return the value found
                break;
            }

            if (!obj[token.Key].Children().Any())
                continue;

                var jt = obj[token.Key].ToString();

                if (!jt.StartsWith("["))
                {
                  result = JsonValue<TType>(JObject.Parse(jt), key);
                }
                else
                {
                    obj[token.Key].Children().ToList().ForEach(x =>
                    {
                        //only the first match will be returned
                        result = JsonValue<TType>(JObject.Parse(x.ToString()), key);
                    });
                }

            if (result != null)
                break;

        }

       return (TType)result;
    }

How to use:

    var myValue = jsonObject.JsonValue<string>("propName");
    var numbValue = jsonObject.JsonValue<long?>("propName2") ?? 0; 

Answer 2

Try this instead:

IList<JToken> rates = root["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"].Children().ToList();

EDIT:

var rateInfo = json["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"]["RateInfo"];

var result =JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RateInfo>( rateInfo .ToString() );
