Deserialize JSON dynamic array

Question

Hey guys,

I have JSON string:

{"results": {
"0001": [{
"type": "AA",
"Id": "420",
"service": false,
"description": "",
"imageUrl": "http://www.somelink.com/file.jpg",
"date": "1457608735000"
},
{
"type": "CC",
"Id": "114",
"service": true,
"description": "",
"imageUrl": "http://www.somelink.com/file.jpg",
"date": "1457611015000"
}]
}
}

In this example array 0001 will be dynamic id in numbers, it will be always random number. How can I deserialize this string into right order? I need to receive type, Id, service, description, imageUrl, date of the very last object (the one who's "type":"CC").

Please, somebody help. Thank you.

try something like this... const string j = "{\"0001\":[{\"type\":\"AA\",\"Id\":\"420\",\"service\":false,\"description\":\"\",\"imageUrl\":\"http://www.somelink.com/file.jpg\",\"date\":\"1457608735000\"},{\"type\":\"CC\",\"Id\":\"114\",\"service\":true,\"description\":\"\",\"imageUrl\":\"http://www.somelink.com/file.jpg\",\"date\":\"1457611015000\"}]}" ; var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer(); dynamic s = serializer.Deserialize (j);

you can deserialize json data in string, use in jquery code as given below. var data = JSON.parse(JSONObject);

With latest json you can use dynamic keyword to get this done dynamic d = JObject . Parse ( "{id:114,type:'string', array: [1,2,3,4,5,6]}" ); Console . WriteLine ( d . id ); Console . WriteLine ( d .type ); Console . WriteLine ( d . array . Count );

Thank you to those who tried to help and offered their examples. But I'm looking for a different solution. Anyone has other ideas to this? Also, I need to have foreach() in the code.

Tommy · Answer

No Suthish. Any ideas?

Suthish Nair · Answer

Tommy, did above reply helped your problem?

Tommy · Answer

Thank you both but this is not what I'm after. I know you are trying to help. Hima, I think you got my question wrong. Array is going to be dynamic, constantly changing. You set that as values (1, 2, 3 etc). Id will also be dynamic, based on the id received from json file. Please, can somebody help me with this bit of the code? I am looking for simple foreach() thanks.
