c# - json deserialization and field extraction? -

following response i'm getting rest

{     "category_id": 1314,     "display_category_name": "",     "english_category_name": "sports",     "url_category_name": "" }, {     "category_id": 13,     "display_category_name": "art",     "english_category_name": "art",     "url_category_name": "art" }, {     "category_id": 21,     "display_category_name": "blogs",     "english_category_name": "blogs",     "url_category_name": "blogs" } 

but need "category_id" , english_category_name displayed how can extract 2 fields alone in c# ?

thanks in advance .

create following class:

public class category {     public int category_id { get; set; }     public string english_category_name { get; set; } } 

use following library newtonsoft.json

deserialize jsonstring follows:

var categories = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<list<category>>(json); 

you can access categories list of category objects i.e

var category = categories.firstordefault(); string categorydisplayname = category.english_category_name; 

please note can rename fields in c# json types this:

[jsonproperty("english_category_name")] public string englishcategoryname { get; set; }
