c# - How do I deserialize json so that some json properties gets assigned to an array or List? -

using json.net, how deserialize following json orderdepthfeed class provided below? want bid1 go bid[0], bid2 bid[1] , on.

{     "i": "101",     "m": 11,     "tick_timestamp": 1440479701986,     "bid1": 78.00,     "bid_volume1": 60,     "bid_orders1": 1,     "ask1": 80.50,     "ask_volume1": 500,     "ask_orders1": 1,     "bid2": 77.50,     "bid_volume2": 500,     "bid_orders2": 1,     "ask2": 82.00,     "ask_volume2": 1560,     "ask_orders2": 2,     "bid3": 77.00,     "bid_volume3": 107,     "bid_orders3": 2,     "ask3": 82.95,     "ask_volume3": 75,     "ask_orders3": 1,     "bid4": 76.30,     "bid_volume4": 200,     "bid_orders4": 1,     "ask4": 83.40,     "ask_volume4": 49,     "ask_orders4": 1,     "bid5": 76.00,     "bid_volume5": 506,     "bid_orders5": 2,     "ask5": 83.50,     "ask_volume5": 1500,     "ask_orders5": 1 }

public class orderdepthfeed {     public int { get; set; }     public int m { get; set; }     public int ticktimestamp { get; set; }      public double?[] ask { get; set; }     public int?[] askvolume { get; set; }     public double?[] bid { get; set; }     public int?[] bidvolume { get; set; } } 

here's code use, , pascalcasecontractresolver changes case , removes underscores in property names overriding resolvepropertyname();

var serializersettings = new jsonserializersettings(); serializersettings.contractresolver = new pascalcasecontractresolver(); var orders = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<orderdepthfeed>(json, serializersettings); 

here custom converter:

public class jsonorderdepthfeedconverter : jsonconverter {     public override void writejson(jsonwriter writer, object value, jsonserializer serializer)     {         //implement if want convert json in same way         throw new notimplementedexception();     }      public override object readjson(jsonreader reader, type objecttype, object existingvalue, jsonserializer serializer)     {         var order = jobject.load(reader);         var orderdepthfeed = new orderdepthfeed         {             = order["i"].value<int>(),             m = order["m"].value<int>(),             ticktimestamp = order["tick_timestamp"].value<long>()         };          const int count = 5;         orderdepthfeed.ask = new double?[count];         orderdepthfeed.askvolume = new int?[count];         orderdepthfeed.bid = new double?[count];         orderdepthfeed.bidvolume = new int?[count];          (var = 1; <= count; i++)         {             jtoken aux;              if (order.trygetvalue("ask" + i, out aux)) orderdepthfeed.ask[i - 1] = aux.value<double>();             if (order.trygetvalue("ask_volume" + i, out aux)) orderdepthfeed.askvolume[i - 1] = aux.value<int>();             if (order.trygetvalue("bid" + i, out aux)) orderdepthfeed.bid[i - 1] = aux.value<double>();             if (order.trygetvalue("bid_volume" + i, out aux)) orderdepthfeed.bidvolume[i - 1] = aux.value<int>();         }          return orderdepthfeed;     }      public override bool canconvert(type objecttype)     {         return typeof(orderdepthfeed) == objecttype;     } } 

and how use it:

var settings = new jsonserializersettings { converters = { new jsonorderdepthfeedconverter() } }; var order = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<orderdepthfeed>(json, settings);
