How to Convert Strings to JSON Objects in C#?

In C#, the Newtonsoft.Json library (also known as Json.NET) provides robust support for JSON serialization and deserialization. To convert a JSON string into a JSON object, you can use the JObject.Parse() method provided by Json.NET. This method parses the JSON string and returns a JObject representing the JSON data.

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string jsonString = "{\"name\":\"Peter\",\"age\":35,\"city\":\"Chennai\"}";
        
        // Convert JSON string to JObject
        JObject jsonObject = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
        
        // Accessing values from the JObject
        string name = (string)jsonObject["name"];
        int age = (int)jsonObject["age"];
        string city = (string)jsonObject["city"];
        
        // Output
        Console.WriteLine("Name: " + name);
        Console.WriteLine("Age: " + age);
        Console.WriteLine("City: " + city);
    }
}

In this program, we have defined a JSON string representing a simple object with properties like "name," "age," and "city." We used the JObject.Parse() method to convert this string into a JObject. Once we have the JObject, we have easily accessed individual properties using indexing and cast them to their appropriate data types. If you need any C# project assistance, feel free to reach out.

Output:

Name: Peter
Age: 35
City: Chennai
