Question

Im currently trying to filter some information from a file we have coming to our application from a web server

the format the information is currently in is :

{"ns2":"ns2.xxxx.xxx","ns1":"ns1.xxxx.xxx","classname":"com.logicboxes.foundation.sfnb.order.domorder.DomCno","privacyprotectedallowed":"true","isOrderSuspendedUponExpiry":"false","noOfNameServers":"2","isprivacyprotected":"true","classkey":"domcno","isImmediateReseller":"false"}

What we would like to do is extract the information piece by piece but we are trying to start with the NS2 and NS1 fields

Before we had the following to format our data but i couldnt seem to change it around to make it filter out the above string

Dim m As New Regex("(?<=<div id=""xxxx"">).+(?=</div>)")

I was wondering if someone here could give me a path to go down

Thanks

In your case, you can do something like this:

Your JSON result as a .net object

string json = "{"ns2":"ns2.xxxx.xxx","ns1":"ns1.xxxx.xxx","classname":"com.logicboxes.foundation.sfnb.order.domorder.DomCno","privacyprotectedallowed":"true","isOrderSuspendedUponExpiry":"false","noOfNameServers":"2","isprivacyprotected":"true","classkey":"domcno","isImmediateReseller":"false"}";


public class Blob
{
      public string ns2 {get;set;}
      public string ns1 {get;set;}
      public string classname {get;set;}
      public bool privacyprotectedallowed {get;set;}
      public bool isOrderSuspendedUponExpiry{get;set;}
      public int noOfNameServers{get;set;}
      public bool isprivacyprotected{get;set;}
      public string classkey{get;set;}
      public bool isImmediateReseller{get;set;}
}

You can use this library to convert it: http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json-net.aspx

Here’s the example:

var Blob = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Blob>(json);

Hope this helps you out!

I would also recommend to take a look at the ContractResolvers, so you can use PascalCasing for your properties. More info can be found here

If you don’t want to create the Blob object, you can also try this:

JObject obj = JObject.Parse(json);
string ns1 = (string)obj["ns1"];
string ns2 = (string)obj["ns2"];
