I am getting a string with json objects from an external webapi. I have a code that gets the objects into a ExpandoObject list, but there must be another solution without using dynamic object.Here is the code:\[code\]System.Net.HttpWebRequest request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://example.com/api/users.json");request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;request.Headers["Authorization"] = "API key="+somekey;// Ignore Certificate validation failures (aka untrusted certificate + certificate chains)System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(resStream);//response from the apistring responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();//serialize the datavar jss = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();System.Collections.IList users = (System.Collections.IList)((IDictionary<string, object>)((IDictionary<string, object>)jss.DeserializeObject(responseFromServer))["data"])["users"];List<System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject> api_users = new List<System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject>();//putting the expandable objects in listforeach (var u in users){ var user = ((Dictionary<string, object>)((IDictionary<string, object>)u)["User"]); dynamic data = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15799597/new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject(); //putting the user attributes into dynamic object foreach (var prop in user) { ((IDictionary<String, Object>)data).Add(prop.Key, prop.Value); } api_users.Add(data);}\[/code\]Here is a sample of the json string:\[code\]"data": { "users": [ { "User": { "user_id": "6741", "email": "[email protected]", "first_name": "Mark", "last_name": "Plas", "street_address": "", "post_code": "", "city": "" }, "CreatedBy": { "id": null, "name": null }, "ModifiedBy": { "id": null, "name": null } },...(can have more users here)\[/code\]
