Parse nested json string to string list

Question

I have following json

["a", ["amazon", "amazon.in", "aaj tak", "axis bank", "amar ujala", "amazon.com", "aadhar card", "airtel online recharge", "airtel", "axis bank internet banking", "amazon india", "air india"]]

Now I want to get it in list string

I tried

var obj = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(result);


Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject obje = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(result);

And many other options but nothing worked, it throwing error.

Additional information:

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

try var options = obj[1].ToList(); ? I think you're trying to access the first item as an array when it's a string.... — Aesphere

This is throwing error @var obj = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(result); line — Md. Parvez Alam

It's throwing an exception because the root container is not an object it's an array. You want to use JToken.Parse(). — dbc

You have a JSON array while trying to parse is as a JSON object.

Replace

var obj = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(result);

to

var obj = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray.Parse(result);
