Question

I am using the Newtonsoft JSon c# plugin. I jave a JArray

{"data":[{"name":"Wesley 1","id":"616611941"},{"name":"Wesley 2","id":"100000138033375"},..............

I was wondering is there a way to loop though each object between the curly braces and extract the name and id of each entry?

Thanks to anyone who can help

Answer 1

using jQuery you can do this. First loop will go thorough each item in array. second loop will get the key, value in each array item

$.each(data, function() {
  $.each(this, function(key, value) {
    //do what ever you want
  });
});

EDIT

OK. You got some good answers from others. Here is another way.

namespace

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

You add strongly typed class that maps data in the json

public class wordList
{
    public List<NameId> data { get; set; }
    public wordList() 
    { 
        data = new List<NameId>(); 
    }
}

public class NameId
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string id { get; set; }        
}

then you call

 string jsonObj = @"{""data"":[{""name"":""Wesley 1"",""id"":""616611941""},{""name"":""Wesley 2"",""id"":""100000138033375""}]}";

 JavaScriptSerializer jsSer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
 wordList wl = jsSer.Deserialize<wordList>(jsonObj);

You can loop through the WordList to get the name, id values
