This is the JSON and I want to map this into the c# object using Newtonsoft.json
{
"PremiumStructure": [
{
"Level": true,
"LevelText": "Level"
},
{
"Stepped": false,
"SteppedText": "Stepped"
},
{
"DifferentPropetyNameinFuture" : false,
"DifferentPropetyNameinFutureText" : "stringValue"
}
]
}
Just use the below approach. Create a RootObj and define a property as List which contains Dictionary :
class MyObj
{
public List<Dictionary<string, object>> PremiumStructure;
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var text = File.ReadAllText("test.json"); // the file contains your json example
var myObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObj>(text);
foreach (var item in myObj.PremiumStructure)
{
foreach (var key in item.Keys)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Key: {key} Value: {item[key]}");
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Output :
Key: Level Value: True
Key: LevelText Value: Level
Key: Stepped Value: False
Key: SteppedText Value: Stepped
Key: DifferentPropetyNameinFuture Value: False
Key: DifferentPropetyNameinFutureText Value: stringValue
You can use json2csharp to Convert it to C# classes.
This gives me concrete generated model, but in array I may have more object for that I will have to add more concrete classes to map the model according to json2csharp. So, I want the solution which is generic for it.
Then you might want to not deserialise the JSON, and just parse it to a JObject instead:
// Remember to add "using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;"!
JObject root = new JObject.Parse(yourJSONString);
And then use the indexers of root to access the different KVPs. e.g.
root["PremiumStructure"][0]["Level"]
Alternatively, if you want to access the properties with dot notation, deserialise the JSON into a dynamic variable and directly access the properties with that:
dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
obj.PremiumStructure[0].Level
