Creating an Array of strings from a stringified JSON

malkav · 2022-09-29T13:29:56.592Z

So I have this kind of JSON structure: ```json { "sourceJson": [ { "BookID": "1", "BookTitle": "SQL World", "BookPrice": "550" }, // ... ], "targetJson": [ { "BookID": "6", "BookTitle": "High Availability", "BookPrice": "900" } ] } ``` and I want to use Newtonsoft.Json to `DeserializeObject (sourceJson)` but when I do this, I get "Unexpected character '{' at path: sourceJson line 3 position 5" Does anyone know how to convert this json into a `string[]` or `IEnumerable `? Perhaps I have to use `JArray` instead?? I don't know

So I have this kind of JSON structure:

{
  "sourceJson": [
    {
      "BookID": "1",
      "BookTitle": "SQL World",
      "BookPrice": "550"
    },
    // ...
  ],
  "targetJson": [
    {
      "BookID": "6",
      "BookTitle": "High Availability",
      "BookPrice": "900"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "sourceJson": [
    {
      "BookID": "1",
      "BookTitle": "SQL World",
      "BookPrice": "550"
    },
    // ...
  ],
  "targetJson": [
    {
      "BookID": "6",
      "BookTitle": "High Availability",
      "BookPrice": "900"
    }
  ]
}

and I want to use Newtonsoft.Json to

DeserializeObject<string[]>(sourceJson)

DeserializeObject<string[]>(sourceJson)

but when I do this, I get "Unexpected character '{' at path: sourceJson line 3 position 5"

Does anyone know how to convert this json into a

string[]

IEnumerable<string>

IEnumerable<string>

?
Perhaps I have to use

JArray
