Trying deserialize a JSON array in C#

I have a similar issue relate in this link Deserialize a JSON array in C#

But I can’t catch the array, so if someone can take a look and tell what I’m doing wrong, I would appreciate it. This is my JSON array:

{
    "latitude": [
        {
            "ts": 1677055475800,
            "value": "40.480946"
        }
    ],
    "longitude": [
        {
            "ts": 1677055475800,
            "value": "-3.37441"
        }
    ]
}

I tried the answer:

    class Latitud
    {
        public Device latitude;

    }
    class Longitud
    {
        public Device longitude;

    }
    class Device
    {
        public string ts { get; set; }

        public int value { get; set; }

    }

    JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    var mylongitude= ser.Deserialize<List<Longitud>>(jsonData);
    var mylatitude = ser.Deserialize<List<Latitud>>(jsonData);

What am I doing wrong?

    Your structure does not match the source JSON.

    You need a target object to represent the whole structure. Also, your Device class needs to match the structure of the inner data stored in the arrays:

    //This represents your main structure
public class SomeTargetObject
{
    public Device[] Latitude { get; set; }

    public Device[] Longitude { get; set; }
}

//This represents the inner data 
public class Device
{
    public string ts { get; set;}
    public string value { get; set; }
}

    Lastly, I would recommend using NewtonSoft from the Newtonsoft.Json package to deserialize it instead:

    var json = @"{
                ""latitude"": [
                    {
                        ""ts"": 1677055475800,
                        ""value"": ""40.480946""
                    }
                ],
                ""longitude"": [
                    {
                        ""ts"": 1677055475800,
                        ""value"": ""-3.37441""
                    }
                ]
            }";

var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SomeTargetObject>(json);

    JsonConvert can be found in the Newtonsoft.Json namespace. Make sure to add the package.

    When you deserialize the JSON string jsonData into the mylatitude and mylongitude variables, you are using the Deserialize<List>(jsonData) and Deserialize<List>(jsonData) methods, respectively.

    However, the latitude and longitude properties in the JSON object are arrays, not objects. So you should deserialize them into a list of Coordinate objects rather than a list of Latitud or Longitud objects.

    Can you please try this,

    public class Location
{
     public List<Coordinate> latitude { get; set; }
     public List<Coordinate> longitude { get; set; }
}

public class Coordinate
{
    public long ts { get; set; }
    public string value { get; set; }
}

// Deserialize the JSON string into an object
string jsonString = "Your JSON code";

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Location location = serializer.Deserialize<Location>(jsonString);


Console.WriteLine("Latitude: " + location.latitude[0].value);
Console.WriteLine("Longitude: " + location.longitude[0].value);
