advanced patterns When Using Dynamic Object with JSON.NET in C#
I'm performance testing and I need some guidance on Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working on a personal project and I'm working with an scenario when deserializing a dynamic object using JSON.NET (Newtonsoft.Json) in a .NET 6 application. I have a JSON string that represents a complex object, and I'm trying to deserialize it into a `dynamic` type, but I'm getting unexpected results. For instance, when I attempt to access a property that I know exists in the JSON, it returns `null`. Here’s a sample of the JSON string I’m working with: ```json { "name": "John Doe", "age": 30, "address": { "street": "123 Main St", "city": "Anytown" } } ``` I’m using the following C# code for deserialization: ```csharp string json = "{\"name\": \"John Doe\", \"age\": 30, \"address\": {\"street\": \"123 Main St\", \"city\": \"Anytown\"}}"; dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json); Console.WriteLine(obj.address.street); ``` When I run the above code, I get a runtime behavior: `Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: behavior converting value "123 Main St" to type 'System.String'. Path 'address.street', line 1, position 44.` I’ve double-checked the JSON string and the property names, and they appear to match perfectly. I’ve also tried using a concrete class instead of `dynamic`, but I still encounter issues with deserialization. Here’s the class I was attempting to use: ```csharp public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } public Address Address { get; set; } } public class Address { public string Street { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } } ``` When I used this class, I did it like this: ```csharp Person person = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Person>(json); Console.WriteLine(person.Address.Street); ``` However, this also resulted in the same `null` values for the `Address` properties. I’m not sure if there is an scenario with how I'm formatting the JSON or if it’s something with the way JSON.NET is interpreting it. Can anyone guide to figure out what might be going wrong here? Any guidance on best practices for deserializing dynamic objects with JSON.NET would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Any ideas what could be causing this? Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks in advance! Any ideas how to fix this?
