How to selectively deserialize JSON?

Question

JSON

There is a problem with deserializing complex Json files. I just can't understand how I can pull out an arbitrary value from a complex structure and work with it normally. For example, take a list of all "messages" (just them), and then access the rest of the values ​​in the style "message.from.lastname".

The "JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<>()" method converts everything at once and does not allow you to work correctly directly with values.

On the Internet, I did not find parsing of complex structures, only simple json.

According to the dynamyc-type, I didn’t understand how it works at all. Some kind of magic.

Answer 1

I don’t see any point in parsing partially, but if you really want to:
JsonDocument
Utf8JsonReader
And here’s how to use them:

Don’t even look at dynamic, it’s support from System.Text.Json was cut out
