JsonByPath

How to use

var order = new JsonByPath(jsonString);

Example JSON:

{
    "billing_address": {
        "given_name": "Jane"
    },
    "order_amount": 5000,
    "order_lines": [
        {
            "name": "Magz",
            "available_attributes": {
                ["duration", "extras"]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Example 1 - Dig deep

var firstProductSecondAttribute = order.GetString("order_lines[0].available_attributes[1]", "");
// "extras"

Example 2 - Simply getting a value

var firstName = order.GetString("billing_address.given_name", "");
// "Jane"

var lastName = order.GetString("billing_address.family_name", "unknown");
// "unknown" (fallback)

var totalAmountIncTax = order.GetInt("order_amount", 0);
// 5000

Example 3 - Iterating array

var orderItemNames = order.GetArray("order_lines")
    .Select(x => JsonByPath.Use(x).GetString("name", ""));
// IEnumerable<string> { "Magz" }
