Deserialize json twitter string into object

c#, json, twitter

Solution

the only field i need is the location in the user table

You don't need any class to get a few fields from your json. Just make use of `dynamic`

dynamic dynObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json); 
Console.WriteLine(dynObj.users[0].location);

Problem

using the url below i am trying to pull the followers that a particular screen name has which is working fine. when i try deserialize the code into a ojbect i get the error message below any ideas why this would be. I have also put the code for the for the Json type.. I would like to get the Location filed. i have released that the users is an object itself. so can i get an example that will let me Desalinize the initial object anf then the object within. URL = `"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json?&screen_name="will insert here "` Deserialize into objec code ``` var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List>(FollowerData) ``` Json type code ``` public class Follower { [JsonProperty("created_at")] public string CreatedAt { get; set; } [JsonProperty("id")] public string Id { get; set; } [JsonProperty("id_str")] public string IdStr { get; set; } [JsonProperty("name")] public string Name { get; set; } [JsonProperty("screen_name")] public string ScreenName { get; set; } [JsonProperty("location")] public bool Location { get; set; } [JsonProperty("description")] public string Description { get; set; } } ``` Error Message {"Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {\"name\":\"value\"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[OAuthTwitterWrapper.JsonTypes.FollowerUsers]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.\r\nTo fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.\r\nPath 'users', line 1, position 9."} Json String Examplt ``` { "users": [ { "id": 219566993, "id_str": "219566993", "name": "belenastorgano", "screen_name": "anna_belenn_", "location": "CapitalFederal, Argentina", "description": "Mesientonomade, todav\\u00edanotengounlugarfijodondevivir.-", "url": null, "entities": { "description": { "urls": [] } }, "protected": true, "followers_count": 44, "friends_count": 64, "listed_count": 0, "created_at": "ThuNov2506: 28: 12+00002010", "favourites_count": 1, "utc_offset": -10800, "time_zone": "BuenosAires", "geo_enabled": true, "verified": false, "statuses_count": 207, "lang": "es", "contributors_enabled": false, "is_translator": false, "profile_background_color": "599E92", "profile_background_image_url": "http: \\/\\/a0.twimg.com\\/images\\/themes\\/theme18\\/bg.gif", "profile_background_image_url_https": "https: \\/\\/si0.twimg.com\\/images\\/themes\\/theme18\\/bg.gif", "profile_background_tile": false, "profile_image_url": "http: \\/\\/a0.twimg.com\\/profile_images\\/378800000326157070\\/e91b8fd8e12eda0a7fa350dcd286c56a_normal.jpeg", "profile_image_url_https": "https: \\/\\/si0.twimg.com\\/profile_images\\/378800000326157070\\/e91b8fd8e12eda0a7fa350dcd286c56a_normal.jpeg", "profile_link_color": "E05365", "profile_sidebar_border_color": "EEEEEE", "profile_sidebar_fill_color": "F6F6F6", "profile_text_color": "333333", "profile_use_background_image": true, "default_profile": false, "default_profile_image": false, "following": null, "follow_request_sent": null, "notifications": null } ], "next_cursor": 1443863551966642400, "next_cursor_str": "1443863551966642309", "previous_cursor": 0, "previous_cursor_str": "0" } ```
