I had asked this question before. The solution using Newtonsoft worked great until I deployed the website on web hosting server, where its giving me nightmares. Therefore, I am planning to use some System.Web
libraries so that I don't have to deal with *.dlls and such and I can easily deploy my website.
Can someone help me parse the same json output using System.Web.Script.Serialization
or any System library
? Thanks a lot.
I hope your real json string is valid since the one you posted is corrupted but Json.Net tolerates it.
The only trick is deserializing to this funny type List<Dictionary<string,object>>
Here is an example with corrected json(removed trailing ,
s)
string json = @"[ { ""ew"" : ""bharat"", ""hws"" : [ ""\u092D\u093E\u0930\u0924"",""\u092D\u0930\u0924"",""\u092D\u0930\u093E\u0924"",""\u092D\u093E\u0930\u093E\u0924"",""\u092C\u0939\u0930\u0924"" ] }, { ""ew"" : ""india"", ""hws"" : [ ""\u0907\u0902\u0921\u093F\u092F\u093E"",""\u0907\u0928\u094D\u0921\u093F\u092F\u093E"",""\u0907\u0923\u094D\u0921\u093F\u092F\u093E"",""\u0908\u0928\u094D\u0921\u093F\u092F\u093E"",""\u0907\u0928\u0921\u093F\u092F\u093E"" ] } ]";
var list = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<List<Dictionary<string,object>>>(json);
foreach (var dict in list)
{
var ew = (string)dict["ew"];
var firstValOfHws = ((ArrayList)dict["hws"])[0];
}
--EDIT--
OK, This should work
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(List<Result>));
var result = (List<Result>)serializer.ReadObject(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json)));
public class Result
{
public string ew;
public List<string> hws;
}
