Reading data from json array

Question

My json format is like -

{
 "data": {
  "translations": [
   {
    "translatedText": "مرحبا"
   }
  ]
 }
}

i want to read translated text value without using json.net . but it always returns null value.

 JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            nameList myNames = ser.Deserialize<nameList>(json);

Answer 1

public class nameList { public name[] Translator { get; set; } }

That's an incorrect class to map the Json to.

Try these classes to deserialize the Json and it will work perfectly fine:

public class Translation
{
    public string translatedText { get; set; }
}

public class Data
{
    public List<Translation> translations { get; set; }
}

public class nameList
{
    public Data data { get; set; }
}

Example reaching for the translatedText property:

var text = myNames.data.translations[0].translatedText;
