Read JSON to Object in C#

A good solution to use JSON into Object in C# is with JSON.NET

For converting json to list object, I used the generic deserialize method which will deserialize json into an object.

1. Create a JSON File (Here is my JSON data):


{
  "Books":
  [
    {
      "title": "Broken hearts",
      "genre": "Romance",
      "price": "15"
    },
    {
      "title": "Nothing in my life",
      "genre": "Guide",
      "price": "12"
    },
    {
      "title": "Love for love",
      "genre": "Romance",
      "price": "6"
    }
  ]
}

{

"Books":

[

{

"title": "Broken hearts",

"genre": "Romance",

"price": "15"

{

"title": "Nothing in my life",

"genre": "Guide",

"price": "12"

{

"title": "Love for love",

"genre": "Romance",

"price": "6"

}

]

}

2. Create a Book Class


    class Book
    {
        string title;
        string genre;
        int price;

        public string Title { get => title; set => title = value; }
        public string Genre { get => genre; set => genre = value; }
        public int Price { get => price; set => price = value; }

        public Book(string t, string g, int p)
        {
            title = t;
            genre = g;
            price = p;
        }
    }

class Book

{

string title;

string genre;

int price;

public string Title { get => title; set => title = value; }

public string Genre { get => genre; set => genre = value; }

public int Price { get => price; set => price = value; }

public Book(string t, string g, int p)

{

title = t;

genre = g;

price = p;

}

3. Create a BookRoot Class (C# JSON to List Sample)


    class BookRoot
    {
        public List<Book> Books { set; get; }
    }

class BookRoot

{

public List<Book> Books { set; get; }

}

4. Create an instance of the BookRoot type and fill it using JsonConvert.DeserializeObject.


BookRoot result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<BookRoot>(File.ReadAllText(@"books.json"));

BookRoot result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<BookRoot>(File.ReadAllText(@"books.json"));

5. Print JSON Data on Console Screen


            Console.WriteLine("There are "+result.Books.Count+" books");

            foreach (var item in result.Books)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Book : {0}\t Genre : {1} \t Price : {2} \t", 
                                    item.Title,
                                    item.Genre,
                                    item.Price);
            }

Console.WriteLine("There are "+result.Books.Count+" books");

foreach (var item in result.Books)

{

Console.WriteLine("Book : {0}\t Genre : {1} \t Price : {2} \t",

item.Title,

item.Genre,

item.Price);

}

This sample deserializes JSON retrieved from a file to List


 class Book
    {
        string title;
        string genre;
        int price;

        public string Title { get => title; set => title = value; }
        public string Genre { get => genre; set => genre = value; }
        public int Price { get => price; set => price = value; }

        public Book(string t, string g, int p)
        {
            title = t;
            genre = g;
            price = p;
        }
    }
    class BookRoot
    {
        public List<Book> Books { set; get; }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
         
            BookRoot result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<BookRoot>(File.ReadAllText(@"books.json"));

            Console.WriteLine("There are "+result.Books.Count+" books");

            foreach (var item in result.Books)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Book : {0}\t Genre : {1} \t Price : {2} \t", 
                                    item.Title,
                                    item.Genre,
                                    item.Price);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
