Specific text in a string - json

Question

I know there are at least hundreds of examples out there, but I just can't find the one that works best for me.
I have a string that is displayed like this (with all the spaces, the backslashes, etc):
string textInfo = "{\n \"code\": null,\n \"success\": true,\n \"data\": [\n {\n \"id\": 109322,\n \"name\": \"Name Surname\",\n \"display_name\": \"Name SURNAME\",\n \"city\": \"Bellair\\u00eb\",\n \"zip\": \"24000\",\n \"street\": \"boulevard 21\"\n }\n ],\n \"message\": null,\n \"total\": 1\n}"
i would like to extract for example only the id, or name or message on another string. For example:
string resultID = "109322" //for my id
string resultName = "Name Surname" //for my name
etc...
Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping me.
Kind Regards

Answer 1

What language are you tring to use?
As your string is in JSON format, try parsing it with a JSON parser and then reading from the object

Answer 2

As mentioned by Jon, this string is in JSON (Javascript Object Notation) format.
Each language has a method to convert from JSON into an object from which you can extract each attribute as a property. In javascript you can use JSON.stringify(textInfo) to represent the data in an object form.
The mechanics would look like the following:
jsonString = "{\n \"code\": null,\n \"success\": true,\n \"data\": [\n {\n \"id\": 109322,\n \"name\": \"Name Surname\",\n \"display_name\": \"Name SURNAME\",\n \"city\": \"Bellair\\u00eb\",\n \"zip\": \"24000\",\n \"street\": \"boulevard 21\"\n }\n ],\n \"message\": null,\n \"total\": 1\n}"
dataObject = JSON.parse(jsonString)
var resultID = dataObject.data.id //for my id
var resultName = dataObject.data.name //for my name
the rest of the properties can be similarly queried.
For reference, here is a "prettified" version of your JSON data:
{
"code":null,
"success":true,
"data":[
{
"id":109322,
"name":"Name Surname",
"display_name":"Name SURNAME",
"city":"Bellairë",
"zip":"24000",
"street":"boulevard 21"
}
],
"message":null,
"total":1
}

I feel so bad not trying harder. Anyway here is my working code for Windows Application C#
string jsonString = "{\n \"code\": null,\n \"success\": true,\n \"data\": [\n {\n \"id\": 109322,\n \"name\": \"Name Surname\",\n \"display_name\": \"Name SURNAME\",\n \"city\": \"Bellair\\u00eb\",\n \"zip\": \"24000\",\n \"street\": \"boulevard 21\"\n }\n ],\n \"message\": null,\n \"total\": 1\n}"
JObject jsonObj = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
return (string)jsonObj["data"][0]["id"];
And output is: 109322
