Hi,

Im trying to deserialise a get request where i get a json back with the following

[{"GameName":"Game1","GameLocation":"Test1"},{"GameName":"Game2","GameLocation":"Test2"}]

Im useing the following script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace APP
{
[System.Serializable]
public class GameFinder
{
public string Token;
public string UserName;
public string CompanyName;
public string[] GameAreas;
public List<string> GameName = new List<string>();
public List<string> GameLocation = new List<string>();

//public string[] GameName;
//public string[] GameLocation; 

// public string ProductName;

}

//And im using this

IEnumerator GetGameList(WWW www)
{
yield return www;

if (www.error == null)
{
Debug.Log("WWW List Ok!: " + www.text);
string data = JsonWriter.Serialize(www.text);

apb = JsonReader.Deserialize<APP.GameFinder>(www.text);

}
else
{
Debug.Log("WWW List Error: " + www.error);
} 
}

Im getting this error

InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
Pathfinding.Serialization.JsonFx.JsonReader.Deserialize[GameFinder] (System.String value)

In the same file, declare classes that will hold your JSON data, with variable names that exactly match the variable names in the JSON:

public class MyJSON{
	public MyJSON(){}
	public GameData[] games
}

public class GameData{
	public string GameName;
	public string GameLocation;
}

public MyJSON jsonData;

Then in your code, you need something like this:

jsonData = JsonReader.Deserialize<MyJSON>(www.text);

It may take some fiddling around, i’m doing this from memory, but it’s the same concept I’ve used for dealing with JSON anyway…
