Question

I need to fetch some values obtained from an web URL.
The JSON is as given:

{"country":{"name":"India","State":"Raj": Count :239}, "Population": 25487}

Now i want to fetch the value of Count and Population using C#.

I have tried using JavaScriptSerializer(); But the problem is that its response time is much much slower.

Please suggest me a way to fetch the values from this JSON string.

Thanks

Answer 1

I personally use

https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text

It’s a very fast JSON serializer/deserializer.

I usually create an extension method to make the code tidier:

    public static string ToJson(this object _obj)
    {

        return JsonSerializer.SerializeToString(_obj);
    }

Edit:

A quick way to fetch those values would be to create a class of the data:

public class Country
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public int Count { get; set; }
}

public class CountryInformation
{
    public Country Country { get; set; }
    public int Population { get; set; }
}

Then, using ServiceStack:

void SomeFunction(string _Json)
{
    var FeedResult = _Json.FromJson<CountryInformation>();
}

You can then get the values from FeedResult as such:

FeedResult.Country.name;
