How to get first child of JObject without using foreach loop

Question

I need to get the first child of JObject. This is how I temporarily solved it with foreach loop breaking after first iteration.

foreach (KeyValuePair<string, JToken> item in (JObject)json["stats"])
{
    // doing something with item
    break;
}

I wonder if there is shorter solution, like json["stats"][0] (however it doesn't work this way).

Answer 1

There are probably a few ways, but here's one:

JToken prop = obj["stats"].First;

If you know it's a JProperty:

JProperty prop = obj["stats"].First.ToObject<JProperty>();
