How to convert the following JSON array to IDictionary <string, object>?

Question

Below is a serialized JSON array that I want to convert to IDictionary

[
  {
    "8475": 25532
  },
  {
    "243": 521
  },
  {
    "3778": 15891
  },
  {
    "3733": 15713
  }
]

When I tried to use

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IDictionary<string, object>>((string)jarray);

I got an error:

Cannot write 'jarray' (which has the actual type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray') for 'string'

A JSON deserializer only needs a string.

Answer 1

If you already have one JArray, all you have to do is convert it into a dictionary, which I think.

Like that:

IDictionary<string,object> dict = jarray.ToDictionary(k=>((JObject)k).Properties().First().Name, v=> v.Values().First().Value<object>());

Check this out for complete code with an example.

I think there may be a better way to convert it to a dictionary. I will continue to search.

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T> JSON , .
, , , , , JArray. , , - :

Dictionary<string, object> myDictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();

foreach (JObject content in jarray.Children<JObject>())
{
    foreach (JProperty prop in content.Properties())
    {
        myDictionary.Add(prop.Name, prop.Value);
    }
}
