JSON.Net error reading

Question

I'm trying to parse some JSON data with Json.Net. Here is my data:

[
    {
        "UIDClan": "1",
        "UIDKnjiga": "1",
        "Naslov": "Title1",
        "DatumZaKada": "2013-08-09 00:00:00",
        "DatumIstekRez": null,
        "Spremno": "0"
    },
    {
        "UIDClan": "1",
        "UIDKnjiga": "2",
        "Naslov": "Title2",
        "DatumZaKada": "2013-08-08 00:00:00",
        "DatumIstekRez": null,
        "Spremno": "0"
    },
    {
        "UIDClan": "1",
        "UIDKnjiga": "3",
        "Naslov": "Title3",
        "DatumZaKada": "2013-08-09 00:00:00",
        "DatumIstekRez": "2013-10-09 00:00:00",
        "Spremno": "1"
    }
]

With this piece of code i want to extract UIDClan data:

 JObject o = JObject.Parse(s);

 Console.WriteLine(o["UIDClan"]);

The error is

Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an object: StartArray. Path '', line 1, position 1.

I've checked with JSONLint and it's valid.

The examples that I found doesn't start with [.

Am I doing something wrong?

You could try using a JArray. This JSON data is actually an array.

JArray v = JArray.Parse(s);

To get the first item.

var firstItem = v[0]["UIDClan"].ToString();

You can even use linq

var items = v.Where(x =>  x["UIDClan"].ToString() == "1").ToList();

what if my object was just a single string? JObject.parse fails for the same reason and unfortunately for me, there is no JString.parse...

just answered my own question. JRaw.Parse seems to work with a string

To overcome the error plz serialize the jsonstring in below format.this serialize string we are able parse as Jobject

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new {JsonString})
