How can I actually use JSON in C#?

Question

I have a Json file that was deserialized from a Json Api-Call, now I have to use this file as an object in the main program.

Here is a small section of it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace Api1
{
    public class EcmSimpleField
    {
        public string value { get; set; }
        public string displayName { get; set; }
        public string internalName { get; set; }
        public string dbName { get; set; }
        public bool visible { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
    }

    public class BaseParameter
    {
        public string value { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
    }

    public class SystemField
    {
        public string value { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
    }

How can I use this file as an object in the main program and work with it?

Create a class for the json like you shared above and use deserialise it using Newtonsoft.json dll or any other library.

var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourClass>(jsonString);

This thread will probably help you: How can I parse JSON with C#?

If your JSON file has changing parameters then the parameters will need to be retrieved in arrays because the array index will always be the same even if the "parameter" changes.
