How do I get the console to print out the strings that are in the GetSet class?-CodePudding

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); 
string URL = "https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/";
Console.WriteLine("Enter a word: "); 
string Input = Console.ReadLine(); 
string response = await client.GetStringAsync(URL   Input);
List<GetSet> gs = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<GetSet>>(response);

Console.ReadKey();    

  

public class GetSet 
{
   public string word {get; set;}
   public string origin {get; set;}
    
   public string definition {get; set;}
   public string partOfSpeech {get; set;}

}

I don't want to print out everything in the URL, only the strings that are present in GetSet class. I can't figure it out for the life of me. any help is greatly appreciated

CodePudding user response：

By using Console.WriteLine along with the string you want to print. Since you're using a list, you have to seperately handle each object in that list. Consider this piece of code.

foreach(var getset in gs)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Word: {getset.word}");
}

We iterate through the collection of GetSet objects that you created using JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<GetSet>>(response); and use string interpolation (the $"" syntax) to create a string. We then pass that string to WriteLine, which outputs that string as a line of text in the console.

Some varations on the above, illustrating some different ways of creating and passing strings:

Console.WriteLine("someString");

Console.WriteLine(someVariable "someString");

Console.WriteLine($"{someVariable} someString")
