How to deserialize list JSON using entity class?-CodePudding

I am getting a JSON in which it include list. Now I want to use only some property rather than all the properties. JSON

{ 
  "instance_pools" : [
      {
          "instance_pool_name":"pool1",
          "node_type_id":"standard",
          "azure_attributes":{
              "availability":"on"
           },
           "instance_pool_id":"poool2345",
           "status":{}
      },
      {
          "instance_pool_name":"pool1",
          "node_type_id":"normal",
          "azure_attributes":{
              "availability":"on"
           },
           "instance_pool_id":"poool2345",
           "status":{}
      },
      {
          "instance_pool_name":"pool1",
          "node_type_id":"high",
          "azure_attributes":{
              "availability":"on"
           },
           "instance_pool_id":"poool2345",
           "status":{}
      }
  ]
}

Now at .Net side, I only want instance_pool_name and corresponding instance_pool_id. I am new to .Net, Can somebody please help me with how to deserialize this complex JSON and use only some properties.

Thank you

CodePudding user response：

You can create the classes as you want. You must not map all json properties into C# class' property. Therefore you can write the C# classes with the properties you need:

public class InstancePoolCollection
{
    public InstancePool[] instance_pools{get;set;}
}


public class InstancePool
{
    public string instance_pool_id{get;set;}
    public string instance_pool_name{get;set;}
}

Deserializing using System.Text

var obj = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<InstancePoolCollection>(jsonObj);

Deserializing using Newtonsoft.Json

var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<InstancePoolCollection>(jsonObj);

Note: Your JSON was not conform. I have changed it.
