I want to get specific object data from json from url the following code give me. i need the second object 'EmailAddressSuffices'
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(
"https://atea-dev.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/metadata/IdentityProviders.js?protocol=wsfederation&realm=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost%3a44300%2fAccount%2fLoginCallback%2f&reply_to=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost%3a44300%2fAccount%2fLoginCallback%2f&context=&request_id=&version=1.0&callback=");
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
Using JSON.Net you can deserialize the JSON response easily:
Solution 1
1. Create a class to map your JSON into:
public class ResponseObject
{
[JsonProperty("Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("LoginUrl")]
public string LoginUrl { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("LogoutUrl")]
public string LogoutUrl { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("ImageUrl")]
public string ImageUrl { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("EmailAddressSuffixes")]
public IList<string> EmailAddressSuffixes { get; set; }
}
2. Deserialize your JSON using JsonConvert.Deserialize<ResponseObject>()
var myresponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ResponseObject>>(responseFromServer);
string email = myresponse[1].EmailAddressSuffixes[0];
Solution 2
If you don't want to bother with derializing the entire thing then you can do this:
JArray array = JArray.Parse(responseFromServer);
string q = array[1]["EmailAddressSuffixes"][0].ToString();
But you should make sure that your object has the right format (and the right number of items in the array.
