Get Data from JSON Object in .NET C# – Step by Step Guide

Learn how to get data from a JSON object in .NET C# using the Newtonsoft.Json library. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to access the values of properties in a JSON object.

To get data from a JSON object in C#, you can use the Newtonsoft.Json library. Here’s an example of how to do it:

1. Deserialize the JSON string into a C# object using the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject method:

string jsonString = "{\"name\":\"John Smith\",\"age\":30}";
dynamic jsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);

2. Access the values of properties in the JSON object by using the dot notation:

string name = jsonObj.name; // "John Smith"
int age = jsonObj.age; // 30

Alternatively, you can use the JObject class to access the properties:

JObject jsonObj = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
string name = (string)jsonObj["name"]; // "John Smith"
int age = (int)jsonObj["age"]; // 30

Note that you’ll need to include the Newtonsoft.Json namespace in your C# file for these examples to work.
