xamarin forms deserialize json

my app consumes data from rest api and gets json

code in my app:

var content = await httpClient.GetStringAsync("http://192.168.0.101:8000/api/list");

JSON

"count": 10,
"next": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/list?page=2",
"previous": null,
"results": [
    {
        "name": "lorem ipsum1",
        "image": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/pictures/2.jpg",
        "description": "lorem ipsum5"
    },
    {
        "name": "lorem2",
        "image": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/pictures/1.jpg",
        "description": "lorem ipsum4"
    }

and i have a class i want to use to deserialize "count"

public class Count
{
    public int count { get; set; }
}

my question is: can i deserialize only "count": 10 ? Thanks in advance

if you only want a single value, you can just parse the data into a JObject

var data = JObject.Parse(json); 
        
Console.WriteLine(data["count"]);

Absolutely. You just have to build a model class with that single property Count and deserialize with Newtonsoft.Json.

public class Dto
{
    public int Count { get; set; }
}

I made a .NET fiddle for you:

Note that I had to fix your sample JSON:

  • the whole json is missing an opening an closing brace "{" & "}"
  • the results array had no closing bracket "]"
  • the stuff with .Replace("'", "\""); is just required because I had to use ' instead of " in the C# string. You don't need that.
