Question

How do i print out a selected field from my json object without having to create classes for it, at the moment it prints out the whole json object but i just want to print out selected fields for example something like Console.WriteLine(response.venues.name);

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

namespace FourSquareTest
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
        {
            var json = webClient.DownloadString("https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=40.7,-74&query=mcdonalds&client_id=XXXXXXX&client_secret=XXXXXXXX&v=20120101");
            // Now parse with JSON.Net

            JObject parsed = JObject.Parse(json);
            foreach (var pair in parsed)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", pair.Key, pair.Value);

            }

        }


    }
}

Try

 JObject parsed = JObject.Parse(json);
 JToken response = parsed["response"];
 JArray venues = (JArray)response["venues"];
 JValue names = (JValue)venues[1]["name"];

But I don’t have the library to test, so that’s just based on the documentation.
