read json c# code example

Example 1: c# read json file into object

// read file into a string and deserialize JSON to a type
Movie movie1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Movie>(File.ReadAllText(@"c:\movie.json"));

// deserialize JSON directly from a file
using (StreamReader file = File.OpenText(@"c:\movie.json"))
{
    JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
    Movie movie2 = (Movie)serializer.Deserialize(file, typeof(Movie));
}

Example 2: reading a json file in c#

JObject o1 = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText(@"c:\videogames.json"));

// read JSON directly from a file
using (StreamReader file = File.OpenText(@"c:\videogames.json"))
using (JsonTextReader reader = new JsonTextReader(file))
{
    JObject o2 = (JObject)JToken.ReadFrom(reader);
}

Example 3: c# parse json

Product product = new Product();
product.Name = "Apple";
product.Expiry = new DateTime(2008, 12, 28);
product.Price = 3.99M;
product.Sizes = new string[] { "Small", "Medium", "Large" };

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(product);
//{
//  "Name": "Apple",
//  "Expiry": "2008-12-28T00:00:00",
//  "Price": 3.99,
//  "Sizes": [
//    "Small",
//    "Medium",
//    "Large"
//  ]
//}

Product deserializedProduct = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Product>(json);

Example 4: how to read json file in C#

//For any of the JSON parse, use the website 
//http://json2csharp.com/ 
//(easiest way) to convert your JSON into 
//C# class to deserialize your JSON into C# object.

public class FormatClass
{
	public string JsonName { get; set; }      
	public string JsonPass { get; set; }      
}
//Then use the JavaScriptSerializer (from System.Web.Script.Serialization),
// in case you don't want any third party DLL like newtonsoft.
public void Read()
{
  	using (StreamReader Filejosn = new StreamReader("Path.json"))
	{
   		JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
   		var Items = jss.Deserialize<FormatClass>(Filejosn.ReadToEnd());
  		// Add Code here :)
	}
