Json to Custom Collection
There is a situation where you want to have your json into a user defined collection. In this article we will see simple code which will convert json to custom collection.
Step 1: Create a class map and name it as “EmployeeDetails.css” as shown below:
public class EmployeeDetails
{
public string employeeName { get; set; }
}
Add following reference in your module:
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
Code example
string json = @"{
'employeeDetails': [
{
'employeeName': 'VBAOVERALL'
},
{
'employeeName': 'INFOEXTRACT'
}
]
}";
//Parse json
JObject objEmp = JObject.Parse(json);
//Deserialize json into jArray
JArray objEmpList = (JArray)objEmp["employeeDetails"];
//Populate JArray into collection
IList<EmployeeDetails> employee = objEmpList.ToObject<IList<EmployeeDetails>>();
Console.WriteLine(employee[0].employeeName);
// VBAOVERALL
Console.WriteLine(employee[1].employeeName);
// INFOEXTRACT
