Nested JSON Deserialization in C# SSIS

Question

I am using a Web API that returns JSON. Within that JSON there is a base64 encoded JSON string that is returned.

The initial response returns JSON that uses the following classes.

public class Attachment
{
    public string type { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string contentType { get; set; }
    public string  content { get; set; }
}

public class Response
{
    public int postVersion { get; set; }
    public int appId { get; set; }
    public string appReference { get; set; }
    public string createDate { get; set; }
    public string clientName { get; set; }
    public string storeName { get; set; }
    public List<Attachment> attachments { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public bool Success { get; set; }
    public Response Response { get; set; }
}

The "content" in the Attachment class is returned a base64-encoded JSON string.

Once decoded the JSON sting uses the following classes (this was generated from json2csharp.com)

public class Salary
{
    public int AccountID { get; set; }
    public string H1 { get; set; }
    public string H2 { get; set; }
    public string H3 { get; set; }

public class RootObject

}

With 2 "RootObjects" I need to know how to declare these?

Is there a way to do this? or is it best to output it and develop new Script?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can change the name of the Rootobject for decoded json as

public class RootObjectDecoded
{
    public Applications Applications { get; set; }
}

and while you want to deseralize it

var rr = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObjectDecoded>(yourdecodedjson);
