Read Object from JSON web page in Windows Phone 8.1 - json

Question

I want to read some List<> of Object from a JSON file, which is generated by a PHP file.
When I try to compile it, I have some problems, it seems that the Smartphone is waiting something. Also I'm not sure if the read is correct for Windows Phone. Thank you in advance for your help !
This is the JSON file example:
{"giocatori":[{"Giocatore":"124","Cognome":"DE SANCTIS","Ruolo":"P","Squadra":"ROM"},{"Giocatore":"140","Cognome":"MIRANTE","Ruolo":"P","Squadra":"PAR"},{"Giocatore":"156","Cognome":"SKORUPSKI","Ruolo":"P","Squadra":"ROM"}],"success":1}
These are the Objects:
public class Giocatori
{
public string Giocatore { get; set; }
public string Cognome { get; set; }
public string Ruolo { get; set; }
public string Squadra { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return Giocatore + " " + Cognome + " " + Ruolo + " " + Squadra;
}
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Giocatori> giocatori { get; set; }
public int success { get; set; }
}
And here are the methods:
private async Task<RootObject> getPlayers()
{
Uri serviceUri = new Uri("myURL");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
string jsonString = await client.GetStringAsync(serviceUri);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonString));
RootObject RootObject = new RootObject();
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(RootObject.GetType());
RootObject = ser.ReadObject(ms) as RootObject;
return RootObject;
}
private void loadPlayers()
{
RootObject players = getPlayers().Result;
setComboboxs(players.giocatori); // The method which I need to use the
}

Download JSON.Net package via Nuget.
Right Click project > Manage Nuget > Json.net > Install
According to http://json2csharp.com/ your class should look like this.
public class Giocatori
{
public string Giocatore { get; set; }
public string Cognome { get; set; }
public string Ruolo { get; set; }
public string Squadra { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Giocatori> giocatori { get; set; }
public int success { get; set; }
}
RootObject can be renamed to whatever you like.
When you receive your JSON do
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>("jsonstring");
