Parse Json Array of Strings to Object C#-CodePudding

I'm working with a legacy system that is using a Generic Method to Deserialize Json Responses to Objects using Newtonsoft.Json as Follows:

  responseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TResponse>(responseData);

I'm trying to deserialize this response:

[
"LA1_1200099253",
"LA1_1200030493",
"LA1_1200005581",
"LA1_1199533163",
"LA1_1199521680",
"LA1_1199500161",
"LA1_1199445213",
"LA1_1199385918",
"LA1_1198691674",
"LA1_1198584599",
"LA1_1198580864",
"LA1_1198199891",
"LA1_1198193839",
"LA1_1197677005",
"LA1_1197387180",
"LA1_1197178604",
"LA1_1197195621",
"LA1_1197149865",
"LA1_1197164149",
"LA1_1197050213"

]

But I'm getting this exception:

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: [. Path '', line 1, position 1.

When trying to map the response to this class:

  public class MatchesResponse : ResponseBase
    {
        public List<string> Games { get; set; } = new List<string>();
    }

Does anyone know what I could do?. Thanks in Advance

If responseData is a JSON string as in your example, then result can't be a responseData as well. You should rename it to something else in the first place. Simply you can user string[]:

string responsedata = [
"LA1_1200099253",
"LA1_1200030493",
"LA1_1200005581",
"LA1_1199533163",
"LA1_1199521680",
"LA1_1199500161",
"LA1_1199445213",
"LA1_1199385918",
"LA1_1198691674",
"LA1_1198584599",
"LA1_1198580864",
"LA1_1198199891",
"LA1_1198193839",
"LA1_1197677005",
"LA1_1197387180",
"LA1_1197178604",
"LA1_1197195621",
"LA1_1197149865",
"LA1_1197164149",
"LA1_1197050213"
]; 
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string[]>(responseData);

foreach(string s in result)
{
   Console.WriteLine(s);
}

CodePudding user response：

deserialize object allows us to parse our c# properties into a json object. if the expressions you define in the array correspond to the object, you can use this method JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<"Class Name">>(json);

CodePudding user response：

try this

var response = new MatchesResponse 
{
  Games = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string[]>(responseData);
}
