Parse Json to List - json

Question

I want to parse a json to List how can we do that. I have tried the following code but it didnt worked
Dictionary<string, object> pGateways=(Dictionary<string,object>)Json.JsonParser.FromJson(jsonString);
List<object> creditOptions = new List<object>();
creditOptions = (List<object>)pGateways;
And after getting it int list i want to loop through it
Here is my sample json
{
"MessageCode": "CS2009",
"Status": "Y",
"ErrorCode": "0",
"ErrorDescription": "Success",
"account":
{
"card":
[
{
"cardend": "asd",
"token": "aads",
"cardstart": "asdad",
"accounttype": "asda",
"cardnetwork": "as",
"issuer": "asd",
"customername": "a",
"expdate": "04/2018"
},
{
"cardend": "asda",
"token":"adssadsa",
"cardstart": "asd",
"accounttype": "asd",
"cardnetwork": "asd",
"issuer": "asda",
"customername": "asd",
"expdate": "03/2016"
}
],
"bank": []
}
}

Answer 1

The best option could be to use the JsonConvert in order to parse Json into a List.

Answer 2

You can use Json.Net.
To install Json.NET use NugetGallery : Json.net Nugets Gallery
And you can use json2Csharp.com for generate c# classes from json

Answer 3

The JSON string you posted is not suitable for straight-forward deserialization to List. The easiest thing to do is use the online JSON 2 CSharp tool to generate classes and deserialize the json string to it. Here is an example of the generated classes:
public class Card
{
public string cardend { get; set; }
public string token { get; set; }
public string cardstart { get; set; }
public string accounttype { get; set; }
public string cardnetwork { get; set; }
public string issuer { get; set; }
public string customername { get; set; }
public string expdate { get; set; }
}
public class Account
{
public List<Card> card { get; set; }
public List<object> bank { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string MessageCode { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public string ErrorCode { get; set; }
public string ErrorDescription { get; set; }
public Account account { get; set; }
}
And here is the logic for deserialization:
var root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonStr);
where the jsonStr variable holds the json string you posted.

You need to use json2csharp tool to generate classes and deserialize the JSON string to list.
Here is the Classes generated from your JSON string.
public class Card
{
public string cardend { get; set; }
public string token { get; set; }
public string cardstart { get; set; }
public string accounttype { get; set; }
public string cardnetwork { get; set; }
public string issuer { get; set; }
public string customername { get; set; }
public string expdate { get; set; }
}
public class Account
{
public List<Card> card { get; set; }
public List<object> bank { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string MessageCode { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public string ErrorCode { get; set; }
public string ErrorDescription { get; set; }
public Account account { get; set; }
}
and Deserialize your JSON object using JsonConvert,
Suppose e.result is your JSON string then
var rootObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(e.Result);
foreach (var blog in rootObject.Card)
{
//access your data like this- `blog.cardend;` or `blog.token;`
}
