I am parsing a Bitcoin transaction String
into a JObject
(it is in JSON format) and want to reference the prev_out
hash and second value in the JSON String (see below for an example). As you can see below I have tried to get the property values using the index but I keep getting null
back. Please help!
What the Typical JSON string looks like:
{
"hash" : "4ebf7f7ca0a5dafd10b9bd74d8cb93a6eb0831bcb637fec8e8aabf842f1c2688",
"ver" : 1,
"vin_sz" : 1,
"vout_sz" : 2,
"lock_time" : 0,
"size" : 225,
"in" : [{
"prev_out" : {
"hash" : "bf7d91ac70917f98b497927e1b07267507652b206df14ecdba2e9390b9bffc65",
"n" : 0
},
"scriptSig" :
" 3044022069b6b0f1a8d453bdb89e3ad475232b8e01d2851e7b53acab3f830f40e80b3b5102203c0 49

}
],
"out" : [{
"value" : "0.08990000",
"scriptPubKey" : "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 5b1d720daf0e95e37d0eaedd282b6ed9a40bab71
OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG"
}, {
"value" : "0.01000000",
"scriptPubKey" : "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 71049fd47ba2107db70d53b127cae4ff0a37b4ab
OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG"
}
]
}
I am trying to reference the prev_out
hash value using this:
JObject transaction = JObject.Parse(t1);
var d = transaction["in"][0]["hash"];
Where t1
is the JSON transaction string
I try to get the second value
property using this:
JObject v = JObject.Parse(t1);
var val = v["out"][1]; //second value starting from 0
value = val.ToString();
"hash" lives inside "prev_out", so you need to access it like this:
var d = transaction["in"][0]["prev_out"]["hash"];
This becomes clear if you format the JSON.
