I am very new to json, JSON.net and all that. After reading similiar questions here I cannot get my code working.
What exactly is my error? What have I overseen?
Is it possible to skip the classes "links" and "meta" for testing purposes or do I have to define EVERY property?
I have got the following REST output:
{
"codes" : [
{
"href" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes/4Sxnr961xzM",
"rel" : "document_field_definition_code",
"title" : "TITLE 1"
},
{
"href" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes/buho0CsLc5k",
"rel" : "document_field_definition_code",
"title" : "TITLE 2"
},
{
"href" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes/RvQoykUM_Sk",
"rel" : "document_field_definition_code",
"title" : "TITLE 3"
}
],
"links" : [
{
"about" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes?about=1",
"href" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes",
"method" : "GET",
"rel" : "self",
"title" : null,
"type" : "codes"
},
{
"href" : "https://www.someserver.com/form_definitions/OIlG4GxMyeh0sdrt3AYuaXbauGicW71M/field_definitions/zFEova6LiPM/codes",
"method" : "POST",
"rel" : "codes",
"title" : "create new codes entity"
}
],
"meta" : {
"description" : null,
"last_page" : 1,
"page_offset" : 0,
"page_size" : 50,
"query-template" : "/codes{?query_search,page_offset,page_size,query_identification,embedded,properties,about}",
"total" : 6
}
}
As I unterstood I need three classes: e.g. codes, links and meta.
I created a class "clscodes":
Public Class clsCode
Private m_href As String
Private m_rel As String
Private m_title As String
Public Property Href As String
Get
Return m_href
End Get
Set(value As String)
m_href = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Rel As String
Get
Return m_rel
End Get
Set(value As String)
m_rel = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Title As String
Get
Return m_title
End Get
Set(value As String)
m_title = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
And I created a class clsValuelist:
Public Class clsWerteliste
Private m_code As IList(Of clsCode)
Public Property Code() As clsCode()
Get
Return m_code
End Get
Set(value As clsCode())
m_code = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
When I try to deserialize it I get "nothing" as in "CoolOutput"
Dim CoolOutput As New clsWerteliste
CoolOutput = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of clsWerteliste)(jsonstring)
