I have a JSON String returned by my SOAP web service in .NET. It is as follows:
{
"checkrecord":
[
{
"rollno":"abc2",
"percentage":40,
"attended":12,
"missed":34
}
],
"Table1":[]
}
Now I want to parse this string to a JSON Object. I also read this where they have used this line of code:
JObject jsonObj = JObject.Parse(json);
So can I do the same by replacing "json" with my string name. Also do I need to reference any other dll except the NewtonSoft.dll ?
BTW, Here is the full webservice code
use new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<object>(jsonString)
You need System.Web.Extensions dll and import the following namespace.
Namespace: System.Web.Script.Serialization
for more info MSDN
I see that this question is very old, but this is the solution I used for the same problem, and it seems to require a bit less code than the others.
As @Maloric mentioned in his answer to this question:
var jo = JObject.Parse(myJsonString);
To use JObject, you need the following in your class file
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
Another choice besides JObject is System.Json.JsonValue for Weak-Typed JSON object.
It also has a JsonValue blob = JsonValue.Parse(json);
you can use. The blob will most likely be of type JsonObject
which is derived from JsonValue
, but could be JsonArray
. Check the blob.JsonType
if you need to know.
And to answer you question, YES, you may replace json
with the name of your actual variable that holds the JSON string. ;-D
There is a System.Json.dll you should add to your project References.

Since you mentioned that you are using Newtonsoft.dll you can convert a JSON string to an object by using its facilities:
MyClass myClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyClass>(your_json_string);
[Serializable]
public class MyClass
{
public string myVar {get; set;}
etc.
}
