CSharp Parse JSON

How to Parse a JSON with C#

Let a JSON be:

  {
  "access_token": "2564231sdfsdf1sd",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "token_type": "Bearer"
  }


There are at least two ways I know to access to the values with C#:
  1. With the Deserialization way
  2. With the JSON PAth Query way
Both of them requires you to install and reference https://www.newtonsoft.com/json

The Deserialization way

With this method, you have to define a class that match the JSON and then perform the deserialisation:

  using Newtonsoft.Json;
  using Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization;
  // You probably need more
  namespace SSFS
  {
    public class Token{
      public string access_token {get; set;}
      public int expires_in {get; set;}
      public string token_type {get; set;}
    }
    public class Utils {
      string jsonString = @"{
        "access_token": "2564231sdfsdf1sd",
        "expires_in": 3600,
        "token_type": "Bearer"}";
        
      string getTokenValue(){
        Token j = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);
        return j.access_token;
      }
    }
  }


JSON PAth Query way

With this method, you have to parse the JSON then perform the Query

  using Newtonsoft.Json;
  using Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization;
  using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
  // You probably need more
  namespace SSFS
  {
    public class Utils {
      string jsonString = @"{
        "access_token": "2564231sdfsdf1sd",
        "expires_in": 3600,
        "token_type": "Bearer"}";
        
      string getTokenValue(){
        JObject o = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
        string accessToken = (string)o.SelectToken("access_token");    
        return accessToken;
      }
    }
  }

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&
