C# get value from deserialized json object

Try:

var result = data["meta"]["rap"].Value<int>();

or

var result = data.SelectToken("meta.rap").ToString();

or if you don't want to want to pass the whole path in, you could just search for the property like this:

var result = data.Descendants()
                 .OfType<JProperty>()
                 .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "rap")
                 ?.Value;

Instead of declaring as type var and letting the compiler sort it, declare as a dynamic and using the Parse method.

dynamic data = JArray.Parse(json);

Then try

data.meta.rap

To get the internal rap object. I edited from using the deserializeobject method as i incorrectly thought that had the dynamic return type. See here on json.net documentation for more details: http://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/QueryJsonDynamic.htm

I just came to add Yet another way to get 2098:

After having got your object in the way you actually did:

var data = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

The first you have to note is that the value you want to get is itself a value of the property "meta":

so, first you have to extract the contents of "meta" by simply calling

data["meta"]

and just then you are able to ask for the Value<string> of "rap":

String rap = data["meta"].Value<string>("rap");

which acctually gives you the value you were looking for:

Console.WriteLine(rap); // 2098

var jobject = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
var jvalue = (JValue)jobject["meta"]["rap"];
Console.WriteLine(jvalue.Value); // 2098

Try to use as following

var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(param);

var testDTO = new TPRDTO();
testDTO.TPR_ID = test.TPR_ID.Value;

Note: For using of JsonConvert class you have to install Newton-Soft from your package-manager

The value is actually an int type. Try:

int rap = data["rap"].Value<int>();

string rap = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json).meta.rap;
Console.WriteLine(rap); // 2098

If you're not into dynamic (or aren't using .NET 4+), I like how this other answer relies solely on Json.NET's API.

the problem is that you are casting the deserialized json into a JObject. if you want to have the JObject then simple do this:

JObject.Parse(json); 

then you have the JObject and you can access a specific path (for extracting value see this )

you have also another option which is to deserialize your json into a class that you have in your code like this:

var instanceOFTheClass =  JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourClassName>(json); 

with the above code you can access any property and values you want.

Use the enumerator to get at the value:

var data = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
var enumerator = data.GetEnumerator();
enumerator.MoveNext();
var dataValue = enumerator.Current.Value.ToString();

Just use dynamic representation of object:

dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json)
var value = obj.meta.rap;

JObject easily convertable to dynamic type itself. You can either get string or int from this value:

var ivalue = (int)obj.meta.rap;
var svalue = (string)obj.meta.rap;
