cast JObject to dictionary c# code example

Example: cast JObject to dictionary c#

public static class JObjectExtensions
{
    public static IDictionary<string, object> ToDictionary(this JObject @object)
    {
        var result = @object.ToObject<Dictionary<string, object>>();

        var JObjectKeys = (from r in result
                           let key = r.Key
                           let value = r.Value
                           where value.GetType() == typeof(JObject)
                           select key).ToList();

        var JArrayKeys = (from r in result
                          let key = r.Key
                          let value = r.Value
                          where value.GetType() == typeof(JArray)
                          select key).ToList();

        JArrayKeys.ForEach(key => result[key] = ((JArray)result[key]).Values().Select(x => ((JValue)x).Value).ToArray());
        JObjectKeys.ForEach(key => result[key] = ToDictionary(result[key] as JObject));

        return result;
    }
