Parsing javascript array to C# object list [duplicate]

Question

I am geting Javascript array as a result from webrequest which need to be converted/parsed to C# object for further handling. Any suggestion of .NET library or this need to be done by regex? Thank you?

<script>
{
item = new Array();

item [0] = new Array();
item [0][0]='value01';
item [0][1]='value02';

item [1] = new Array();
item [1][0]='value10';
item [1][1]='value11';

item [2] = new Array();
item [2][0]='value10';
item [2][1]='value11';
}
</script>

I know that the above code looks like JSON but, I have it as a part of a received html code. Therefore I think I need to parse it in traditional mannor.

A javascript array is very commonly written as something called 'json' look it up there are many parsers for .NET — Kevin DiTraglia

That's how the array is being created, but chances are that's not at all how you're receiving it. You're probably receiving it in JSON, in which case you'd need to implement a JSON parser for c# (which there are several). — brandonscript

Hi, I am not getting it as JSON, but from downloaded HTML. The javascript array is used to present the data in HTML table . — Jim

You could try JSON.net (http://json.codeplex.com/). You could get the nuget package within Visual Studio.

Here is an example of how to use it, taken from the official site:

string json = @"{
  'channel': {
    'title': 'James Newton-King',
    'link': 'http://james.newtonking.com',
    'description': 'James Newton-King's blog.',
    'item': [
      {
        'title': 'Json.NET 1.3 + New license + Now on CodePlex',
        'description': 'Annoucing the release of Json.NET 1.3, the MIT license and the source on CodePlex',
        'link': 'http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json-net.aspx',
        'category': [
          'Json.NET',
          'CodePlex'
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}";

// LINQ to JSON
// ------------
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(json);
string itemTitle2 = (string)jObject["channel"]["item"][0]["title"];
