How to read json file and serialize it in custom class?
The serialization has an extra, unnamed container above menu. Your class structure needs to look like:
public class container{ public menu menu { get; set; }}public class menu{ public menuitem[] menuitems { get; set; }}public class menuitem{ public string Label { get; set; } public string Listview { get; set; }}And to deserialize, you can use:
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("menu.json");string filedata = sr.ReadToEnd();var menus = js.Deserialize<container>(filedata);
I think you need to rename your Menu class to MenuItem:
public class MenuItem{ public string Label { get; set; } public string Listview { get; set; }}And create a new Menu class that has a list of MenuItems:
public class Menu{ public List<MenuItem> MenuItems { get; set; }}See if that works.
