json.net

I'm very new to JSON, and I need to parse some that an API is providing. A quick google search turned up JSON.NET , so I'm trying to use it now to parse this JSON into a list object. First of all, is JSON.NET the best library to use for this? This is what I'm trying to do: I have a class called Item , for example. The json has many "elements" (if that's what they are called), and each contains 3 fields : an integer named id, a string named name, and a datetime named creationTime. I would like to parse all of these Item "elements" from the json into a list of Item objects . I have created 3

How can we extract or retrieve child nodes values from JSON structure in C#. my app is using OpenWeatherMap , I need to retrieve name from city , temp from list and description from weather nodes, my JSON and Class structure are below { "cod": "200", "message": 0.0284, "city": { "id": 2643743, "name": "London", "coord": { "lon": -0.12574, "lat": 51.50853 }, "country": "GB", "population": 0, "sys": { "population": 0 } }, "cnt": 1, "list": [ { "dt": 1429268400, "temp": { "day": 12.21, "min": 4.86, "max": 13.18, "night": 4.86, "eve": 11.76, "morn": 12.21 }, "pressure": 1028.8, "humidity": 66,

I am trying to use the Newtonsoft.Json.Net in c#. The following is part of JSON file that I need to retrieve data out of: { "video":{ "local_recording_device":{ "codecs":null }, "preferred_string":"___PREFERRED___", "streams":{ "99176901":{ "id":"99176901", "name":"PTZ Camera", "site":"someone", "email":"someone@awebsite.com", "codec":"VP8 HD1 (720p)", "local":true, "screen":false, "fit_to_window":true, "stay_on_top":false, "layout":0, "native_width":1280, "native_height":720, "window_width":456, "window_height":254, "preferred":false, "local_recording":false, "device_id":"MJPEG Camera",

I'd like parse JSON string and use the token.Type property to detect values of type JTokenType.TimeSpan . I can't work out how to express the TimeSpan in my input string, everything seems to be interpreted as JTokenType.String. var timeSpanString = TimeSpan.FromHours(1).ToString(); testString = string.Format(@"{{""Value"": ""{0}"" }}", timeSpanString); var statObject = JObject.Parse(testString); JToken token = statObject["Value"]; var tokenValue = token.ToString(); var tokenType = token.Type; // JTokenType.String I even tried: JValue jValue = new JValue("test"); jValue.Value = TimeSpan

In a Windows Phone app I need to parse JSON data. I am able to get the values for keys which aren't nested. But if the JSON has arrays inside arrays, then how do I extract values from the JSON file? In the past what I did was parse the JSON into a JArray object, then from the JToken I got the value of a specified string key. In the JSON below, people has men and women , and men itself has many men with different IDs. So if I have this complete thing as a JSON string, how do I print the value of the ID of a particular man? I could have converted into JArray and access indexed values if there

I want to converts Vectors of the OpenTK library to and from JSON. The way I thought it worked is just making a custom JsonConverter, so I did this: class VectorConverter : JsonConverter { public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType) { return objectType == typeof(Vector4); } public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer) { var obj = JToken.Load(reader); if (obj.Type == JTokenType.Array) { var arr = (JArray)obj; if (arr.Count == 4 && arr.All(token => token.Type == JTokenType.Float)) { return new Vector4(arr[0].Value<float

I'm trying to deserialize JSON in this format: { "data": [ { "installed": 1, "user_likes": 1, "user_education_history": 1, "friends_education_history": 1, "bookmarked": 1 } ] } to a simple string array like this: { "installed", "user_likes", "user_education_history", "friends_education_history", "bookmarked" } using JSON.NET 4.0 I've gotten it to work using the `CustomCreationConverter' public class ListConverter : CustomCreationConverter<List<string>> { public override List<string> Create(Type objectType) { return new List<string>(); } public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type

I have a web application made in asp.net mvc 4 in Global.asax, i added added IsoDateTimeConverter protected void Application_Start() { AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add( new IsoDateTimeConverter { DateTimeFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm" }); } I have an ActionResult public ActionResult GetDate() { DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Now; return Json(dateTime, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); } However, this actionResult returns this: "\/Date(1365060823129)\/" What i am missing? Well I believe you got a little bit
