Is there a better way to parse this information below with exception handling. I am only interested in data in between curly { ....... }. But I need to capture curly brackets only with data so I can send it through the JObject parser.
This is my current logic below and also review the logic I am parsing.
public List<JObject> ReadJsonFile(string fileName)
{
JObject jsonData = null;
using (StreamReader file = File.OpenText(fileName))
{
string line = file.ReadLine();
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
string [] jsonLine = line.Split('{');
if (jsonLine.Count() == 2)
{
string json = "{" + jsonLine[1];
jsonData = JObject.Parse(json);
JObjectList.Add(jsonData);
}
}
}
return null;
}
File name is dummydata.txt:
