Using Newtonsoft.Json
When it comes to parsing JSON in C#, one of the most popular libraries is Newtonsoft.Json. This library provides a simple and efficient way to work with JSON data in C#. To get started, you’ll need to install the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package in your project.
Once you have the library installed, you can start using it by adding the following using statement at the top of your C# file:
«`csharp
using Newtonsoft.Json;
«`
Deserializing JSON to objects
One of the most common tasks when working with JSON in C# is deserializing JSON data into objects. This allows you to easily access and manipulate the data in a structured manner. The Newtonsoft.Json library provides a convenient way to do this.
To deserialize JSON data into an object, you can use the `JsonConvert.DeserializeObject` method. This method takes two parameters: the JSON string and the type of the object you want to deserialize the JSON into.
Here’s an example:
«`csharp
string json = «{«name»»:»»John»»
