How to deserialize json data in C#

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I get response in following format.

strTokenNumber

={"code":200,"message":"Authorized","data":{"token":1545207965545}}
I am getting excpetion

Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[POSInvoiceDetailsIntegration.TokenResult]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.

in following statement:

var userauthenticate = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserAuthenticate>(strTokenNumber);

What I have tried:

 public class TokenResult
    {
       //[JsonProperty("TokenResult")]
       public string token { get; set; }
    }
public class UserAuthenticate   
    {
        //TokenResult token = new TokenResult();
        public string code { get; set; }
        public string message { get; set; }

        //public Array data { get; set; }
        //public List<string> data { get; set; }
        public List<TokenResult> data { get; set; }
    }

The JSON you show doesn't match your classes - the "data" item is not a collection, buut a single instance.
If I take your JSON and feed to to a class generator: json2csharp - generate c# classes from json[^] I get these:

C#

public class Data
{
    public long token { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public int code { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
    public Data data { get; set; }
}

If I feed you classes some data, I get what I expect:

UserAuthenticate ua = new UserAuthenticate();
ua.code = "200";
ua.message = "Authorized";
ua.data = new List<TokenResult>();
ua.data.Add(new TokenResult() { token = "1545207965545" });
string json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ua);

{"code":"200","message":"Authorized","data":[{"token":"1545207965545"}]}

I'd start by checking your data source.

Solution 1

In the json you have "data" is a single object, not an array\list so change your class definition;

public class UserAuthenticate   
    {
        public string code { get; set; }
        public string message { get; set; }

        public TokenResult data { get; set; }
    }
