How to parse the array of JSON using C#

Question

I need to parse the JSON data which is collection of array using C#.

ItemRelations: [
    {
        rel: "System.Links.H-Forward",
        source: {id: 123456,url: "https://somename.domain.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/Items/123456"},
        target: {id: 231856,url: "https://somename.domain.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/Items/231856"}
    }
]

Search for Newtonsoft.Json and read some docs. It's really powerful, and you probably dont even need to do much. Also visual studio has a function Edit->Paste Special -> Paste JSON as Classes. — Mafii

Instead of a simple object or array, the JSON you pasted is an array of objects. Hope that helps. — wandering-geek

The posted text is not valid json, specifically the keys need to be embedded in quotes. — Lasse V. Karlsen

You can generate class for your json using Json2csharp. Then using Json.Net from nuget:

void Main()
{
    var json = @"{ItemRelations: [
    {
        rel: ""System.Links.H-Forward"",
        source: {id: 123456,url: ""https://somename.domain.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/Items/123456""},
        target: {id: 231856,url: ""https://somename.domain.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/Items/231856""}
    }
]}";

    var parsed = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);

    //Linqpad
    //parsed.Dump();
}

public class Source
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string url { get; set; }
}

public class Target
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string url { get; set; }
}

public class ItemRelation
{
    public string rel { get; set; }
    public Source source { get; set; }
    public Target target { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<ItemRelation> ItemRelations { get; set; }
}
