Deserialize JSON array(or list) in C#

here is the basic code:

public static string DeserializeNames()
{

    jsonData = "{\"name\":[{\"last\":\"Smith\"},{\"last\":\"Doe\"}]}";

    JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();

    nameList myNames = ser.Deserialize<nameList>(jsonData);

    return ser.Serialize(myNames);
}

//Class descriptions

public class name
{

   public string last { get; set; }

}

public class nameList
{

  开发者_运维问答 public List<name> { get; set; }

}

I have tried:

nameList myNames = ser.Deserialize<nameList>(jsonData);

and:

List<name> myNames = ser.Deserialize<List<name>>(jsonData);

and neither work. Anyone have any ideas?

This code works for me:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

namespace Json
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DeserializeNames());
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        public static string DeserializeNames()
        {
            var jsonData = "{\"name\":[{\"last\":\"Smith\"},{\"last\":\"Doe\"}]}";

            JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();

            nameList myNames = ser.Deserialize<nameList>(jsonData);

            return ser.Serialize(myNames);
        }

        //Class descriptions

        public class name
        {
            public string last { get; set; }
        }

        public class nameList
        {
            public List<name> name { get; set; }
        }
    }
}

Download Json.NET from here http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json-net.aspx

name deserializedName = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<name>(jsonData);

I was having the similar issue and solved by understanding the Classes in asp.net C#

I want to read following JSON string :

[

My asp.net c# code looks like following

First, Class3.cs page created in APP_Code folder of Web application

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class3
/// </summary>
public class Class3
{

    public List<ListWrapper_Main> ResultList_Main { get; set; }

    public class ListWrapper_Main
    {
        public List<ListWrapper> ResultList { get; set; }

        public string resultSize { get; set; }
        public string pageIndex { get; set; }
    }

    public class ListWrapper
    {
        public string channelType { get; set; }
        public string duration { get; set; }
        public int episodeno { get; set; }
        public string genre { get; set; }
        public string[] genreList { get; set; }
        public List<genres_cls> genres { get; set; }
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string imageUrl { get; set; }
        //public string imageurl { get; set; }
        public string language { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public int productId { get; set; }
        public int productMasterId { get; set; }
        public string productMasterName { get; set; }
        public string productName { get; set; }
        public int productTypeId { get; set; }
        public string productTypeName { get; set; }
        public decimal rating { get; set; }
        public string releaseYear { get; set; }
        //public string releaseyear { get; set; }
        public string showGoodName { get; set; }
        public string views { get; set; }
    }
    public class genres_cls
    {
        public string personName { get; set; }
    }

}

Then, Browser page that reads the string/JSON string listed above and displays/Deserialize the JSON objects and displays the data

JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();


        string final_sb = sb.ToString();

        List<Class3.ListWrapper_Main> movieInfos = ser.Deserialize<List<Class3.ListWrapper_Main>>(final_sb.ToString());

        foreach (var itemdetail in movieInfos)
        {

            foreach (var itemdetail2 in itemdetail.ResultList)
            {
                Response.Write("channelType=" + itemdetail2.channelType + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("duration=" + itemdetail2.duration + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("episodeno=" + itemdetail2.episodeno + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("genre=" + itemdetail2.genre + "<br/>");

                string[] genreList_arr = itemdetail2.genreList;
                for (int i = 0; i < genreList_arr.Length; i++)
                    Response.Write("genreList1=" + genreList_arr[i].ToString() + "<br>");

                foreach (var genres1 in itemdetail2.genres)
                {
                    Response.Write("genres1=" + genres1.personName + "<br>");
                }

                Response.Write("id=" + itemdetail2.id + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("imageUrl=" + itemdetail2.imageUrl + "<br/>");
                //Response.Write("imageurl=" + itemdetail2.imageurl + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("language=" + itemdetail2.language + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("name=" + itemdetail2.name + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("productId=" + itemdetail2.productId + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("productMasterId=" + itemdetail2.productMasterId + "<br/>");

                Response.Write("productTypeName=" + itemdetail2.productTypeName + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("rating=" + itemdetail2.rating + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("releaseYear=" + itemdetail2.releaseYear + "<br/>");
                //Response.Write("releaseyear=" + itemdetail2.releaseyear + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("showGoodName=" + itemdetail2.showGoodName + "<br/>");
                Response.Write("views=" + itemdetail2.views + "<br/><br>");
                //Response.Write("resultSize" + itemdetail2.resultSize + "<br/>");
                //  Response.Write("pageIndex" + itemdetail2.pageIndex + "<br/>");


            }



            Response.Write("resultSize=" + itemdetail.resultSize + "<br/><br>");
            Response.Write("pageIndex=" + itemdetail.pageIndex + "<br/><br>");

        }

'sb' is the actual string, i.e. JSON string of data mentioned very first on top of this reply

This is basically - web application asp.net c# code....

N joy...
