Deserialize JSON to class in C#

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

If my string(json) contain only following part, I am able to deserialize it with the help of newtonsoft's library.

{"Code": "MXXXXX", "Status": "failed"}

Code to deserialize:

public class Account
{
public string Code{ get; set; }
public string Status{ get; set; }
}
Account account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

Console.WriteLine(account.Code);

But if my string is like this:

{'data': ' {"Code": "MXXXXX", "Status": "failed"}'}

I am unable to deserialize. Here the class has only one property which is data... how can I do that?

What I have tried:

Code to deserialize:

public class Account
{
    public string Code{ get; set; }
    public string Status{ get; set; }
}
Account account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

Console.WriteLine(account.Code);

This does not look correct JSON (not syntactically). 'data' in your JSON will be deserialized as string due to additional quotes around the desired data.

You need a class with a property called "data" that is of type "Account" and you deserialise to that class. You might also need to update your source string to

{'data': {"Code": "MXXXXX", "Status": "failed"}}

Note I removed some apostrophes

try this

static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           string json = "{'data':  {\"Code\": \"MXXXXX\", \"Status\": \"failed\"}}"; // take care of the json, it should be a valid json format
           MyAccount account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyAccount>(json);
           Console.WriteLine(account.data.Code);

       }

public class MyAccount
   {
       public Account data { get; set; }
   }
   public class Account
   {
       public string Code { get; set; }
       public string Status { get; set; }
   }
