json usage for noob

I apologize if the question is too simple.

I just received a response as byte[] from a webClient POST request.
This response is a json, I want to simply get one of the fields.

WebClient client = new WebClient();
byte[] response = client.UploadValues(baseUrlAdd, new NameValueCollection()
{
{ "Device_ID", Globals.device_id },
});

object[] result = JsonUtility.FromJson<object[]>(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(response));
Globals.game_id = result["Game_ID"]; // ???????????

This is wrong. How do I get "Game_ID" ?

Thank you!

 

Can you cast as dynamic or the Type (if you have it) instead of object[]?

(At work, but something like this should work)
e.g.
dynamic result = JsonUtility.FromJson<dynamic>(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(response));

var gameID = result.GAMEID (not sure on what this will be exactly).

 

yes, if I cast it to dynamic it doesn't give me syntax error anymore, so this:

dynamic stuff = JsonUtility.FromJson<dynamic>(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(response));
Globals.game_id = stuff.Game_ID;

should work?

 

It should, but there is always a doubt. If you know the structure of what you are deserializing, you can always create the object needed to deserialize it to.

Code (csharp):

1. public class ObjectName{
2. public int Game_ID {get;set;}
3. }
4.  
5. then...
6. ObjectName stuff = JsonUtility.FromJson<ObjectName>(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(response));
