I have the following code that extracts json elements values and outputs to csv:
csv output:
File Name,Page,Practice Name,Owner Full Name,Owner Email
file1.json,1,Some Practice Name,Bob Lee,Bob@someemail.com
Currently there is no other contextual information on each item to reference them so the only way is by indexing, e.g. lines[2]
This works for now but I may have other JSON files that have an extra field, therefore the values pulled will be wrong.
In order to address this scenario, how can i pull the values contextually instead of indexing the lines?
Ive tried
but i get Cannot implicitly convert type string to int error
file1.json sample:
C#:
public static void Json_to_Csv(string jsonInputFile, string csvFile)
{
using (var p = new ChoJSONReader(jsonInputFile).WithJSONPath("$..readResults")) // "readResults": [
{
using (var w = new ChoCSVWriter(csvFile).WithFirstLineHeader())
{
w.Write(p
.Select(r1 =>
{
var lines = (dynamic[])r1.lines;
return new
{
FileName = jsonInputFile,
Page = r1.page,
PracticeName = lines[2].text,
OwnerFullName = lines[4].text,
OwnerEmail = lines[6].text,
};
}
}
}
}csv output:
File Name,Page,Practice Name,Owner Full Name,Owner Email
file1.json,1,Some Practice Name,Bob Lee,Bob@someemail.com
