I'm really stuck on this problem now for 2 days, how can I get the data out of a deeply nested json object.
I have found an online json tools http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ http://jsonformat.com/ which when you paste your json into it, shows all the objects arrays etc, so I can dig down into the data and get the information I want.
When I debug the code and put a break point on: foreach (JToken data in rates.ToArray()) I can see the data I'm after, I just cannot get the data out, depends on what I try depends on the error I get, last error was.
Error converting value "@rateChange" to type
'Web.UI.Controllers.HomeController+RateInfo'.
Could not cast or convert from System.String to Web.UI.Controllers.HomeController+RateInfo.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
My class
public class RateInfo
{
public string RateChange { get; set; }
public string Promo { get; set; }
public string PriceBreakdown { get; set; }
public bool NonRefundable { get; set; }
public string RateType { get; set; }
public int CurrentAllotment { get; set; }
public int? PromoId { get; set; }
public string PromoDescription { get; set; }
public string PromoType { get; set; }
}
code
IList<JToken> rates = root["HotelListResponse"]["HotelList"]["HotelSummary"][0]["RoomRateDetailsList"]["RoomRateDetails"]["RateInfos"]["RateInfo"].Children().ToList();
IList<RateInfo> info = new List<RateInfo>();
foreach (JToken data in rates.ToArray())
{
RateInfo rateInfo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RateInfo>(data.ToString());
info.Add(rateInfo);
}
