Step by Step Tutorial: Deserializing JSON using c# and json.net

really fantastic tutorial. I like the calm and thorough attitute ;)

Excellent video. I had only 'heard' of JSON up until this morning... now I'm an expert!!! :D Just kidding, many thanks even 6yrs later!

thank you

Was there source code to go with this as hate typing and watching videos as I get lost

Hi Les, Thanks for the great tutorial. Q) why are you creating classes with a class instead of keeping them seperate?

Increase your font size please

Sir, if our text file have multiple jason object than how we can fetch one object on the base of id or some other parameters any idea please reply

THANK YOU!!

I'm right there with you. Sean was the best Bond, but I too have a soft spot for Roger... for the exact same reason as you do. Also, your content is always outstanding, thanks!

Superb video. I'm just getting into C# for a project I'm working on and needed a good summary of working with JSON. You're a great teacher.

Completely lost.... I am used to commenting not remarking. 🙂

Thanks Les, this was one of the best video tutorials I have seen. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this, I will be using it as a reference going forward. As you said in the video, a lot of presenters don't cover every step and basic fundamentals can be missed. Well done!

HAHAHAHAHA it was like a serious discussion then all of a sudden there's this LOUD audience cheering meme HAHAHAHA

anyway, this tutorial really helps a lot :)

Brilliant Les. I'm new to RESTful APIs and thought it would be a headache but your videos have made it painless. First class videos and your examples are great. Many thanks!

Top notch, entertaining too. Thanks so much!

simply awesome!!! Les, you are a great teacher.

wow

Hello I am working with my API in Web then I already serielize the json data and display it. But I can't able to to deserialize the json to c#. Even if I converted in the json2csharp.

Can you show how to deserialize to polymorphic object ?

You are AMAZING. Thank you SO much for this.

Just wanted to pop in and let you know I foundTutorial was very useful in helping me in this JSON area. Have a great day!

Wow wow wow beautifully explained between self taught and professional programmer. I appreciate this tutorial in all ramifications

G'day Les, I'm a bit late to this party, but thanks for all this detail. This is a fundamentally simple concept, with straightforward code, that I've finally cottoned on to after seeing this. My endpoints are bouncing around in delight now, all lean and ready for action.

Excellent Video and easy to understand.
Still have a pretty small question, how about if from the JSON array of Phone Number, if we have to read one specific type of phone number. Example:- We just wanted to read the phone number of Type 'Home', what should be done for that. Reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks again!!

Excellent - thank you so much!

Jumpscare 😂

Thank you!!! You literally saved my life, excelent tutorial

like!)

You have helped me immensely! I have not found a guide that made me understand how this works as well as your video does.

When you use the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsontext) - what kind of object do you get back? I get a JObject - and as a result cannot pick out individual values like you have with the firstname and so on. Any ideas why this may be?

Les you are an excellent teacher. Keep up the good work and I like your sense of humour. I understand JSON structure and everything about it, thanks to your video, even though I have maintained an API to send simple JSON to outside service, but never understood the basics of it.
Thanks again

Finally now I know how to desrialize JSON in c#. It's a hard at first to grasp the concept if you are PHP dev because PHP makes it so easy. json_encode(array) and json_decode(array) that's it.

Thanks a lot

Ah, king Leonidas is now a tutor?! Awesome. 👊🏾

Hi Greate video. Say you had nested collection/Array in that json. How would you write that class??

You made my day sir! Huge time saver, thanks!

Thanks , we’re looking exactly what you’ve provided here

It would be great if you can explain reflection as the subject in this very video, touching it a bit.

Hi Les! I just watched this video tutorial and found it to be extremely helpful. I cannot thank you enough for making this, and taking the extra time to show us the use of a dynamic class, with and without inheritance, and the multiple json examples. I can't wait to check out your website and other videos. Cheers!

20 min of time and video is 56 min long

Thank you for this video. Over 35 years as a Visual Basic developer (mostly business software) and I made the switch to C# this year. JSON has been a nemeses of mine, but your video finally explained those things that everyone else seems to skip over and I think I now have enough knowledge to move on with the stack of new software I want to write using C#. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thank you for taking the time to explain inheritance. Though fairly straight forward, I have seen many people confused over inheritance and I'm betting it will help anyone starting out or a tad confused.

After watching and reading about a dozen guides, yours was the one that finally explained what I was looking for in an easy to follow fashion. Thank you for your tutorial!

Thanks for this material, it helps understand the topic ;) I like it.

PS. Your jokes are quite funny xD :P

Nice video. After stuck in C# sharp and JSON Stuff, this got me absolutly in an comfort zone in that topic. Now i know how to use json as config files, and some other interesting stuff. Programmed every of your steps in parallel, helps a LOT! Thank you !

Hi! I'm seeing this and its a great video, you're doing pretty good explanations. I like the way you explain things, I mean, from base up - some people like to thrown concepts people may have never heard before and pretend everyone knows it - whereas you build up from the basic and continues on, which is fantastic.

I would like to ask you do something, if its not much work, in the future: Subtitles. Not automated ones, real ones I mean. Some of us do not have such good hearing or audio equipment, or have problems understanding your accent (British Islands, btw? Can't recognize it myself). Its why I tend to eschew video tutorials, I feel like I am fighting both to understand and type what I hear, and to understand what I am being taught.
