I am trying to parse a JSON obtained from a web API but I do not know how to do it correctly, I am learning C# and I am using JSON.Net, this is my JSON:
{
"success": true,
"result": {
"id": "20429683581",
"name": "CINEPLEX S.A",
"Condition": "HABIDO",
"PLE": "02\/01\/2013",
"lawyers": [
{
"type": "DNI",
"numdoc": "07871885",
"name": "PONCE PINTO ALEJANDRO EDUARDO",
"date": "22\/08\/2000"
},
{
"type": "DNI",
"numdoc": "09333203",
"name": "SORIANO BARRANTES JOSE FERNANDO",
"date": "22\/09\/2008"
}
],
"workers": [
{
"time": "2017-07",
"service": "8"
},
{
"time": "2018-06",
"service": "13"
}
]
}
}
In the example, the API returned 2 "lawyers" and 2 "workers" but this number can vary, they can be 3 or 4 independently (the other section of the json remains constant). With PHP I know very well how to solve this but in C# I do not have much idea, this is the code that I'm using to parse it (I've parsed except "lawyers" and "workers"...)
public class Lawyer
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string numdoc { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
}
public class Worker
{
public string time { get; set; }
public string service { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string Condition { get; set; }
public string PLE { get; set; }
public List<Lawyer> lawyers { get; set; }
public List<Worker> workers { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public bool success { get; set; }
public Result result { get; set; }
}
RootObject rootobject;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"https://www.example.com/api/?get=" + inid);
HttpWebResponse response;
try
{
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
{
var json = reader.ReadToEnd();
rootobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
}
if (rootobject.success == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("---------------");
Console.WriteLine("ID: " + rootobject.result.id);
Console.WriteLine("NAME: " + rootobject.result.name);
Console.WriteLine("CONDITION: " + rootobject.result.Condition);
Console.WriteLine("PLE: " + rootobject.result.PLE);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("---------------");
Console.WriteLine("NOTHING");
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("---------------");
Console.WriteLine("ERROR");
}
What should I do here? Would I have to use a foreach like in PHP? As I said, the amount of "lawyers" or "workers" can be variable.

from what I can tell from your comments, you have deserialized this. You are just having trouble traversing the object model which means the whole json.net thing is a bit of a side track, to traverse, just do something like
rootobject.result.lawyers.ForEach(lawyer => Console.WriteLine($"{lawyer.name} {lawyer.type}");
or you can do
foreach(var lawyer in rootobject.result.lawyers)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{lawyer.name} {lawyer.type}");
}
or good ol for loops if you wish
for(int i = 0; i<rootobject.result.lawyers.Count; i++)
{
var lawyer = rootobject.result.lawyers[i];
// print it...
