Trouble with json file from tiled editor

Questions & Answers
1

So I was starting to work with Tiled which is a tilemap editor, and it can export a json file containing all the data of the tilemap. I am trying to load the data into a class, but there is a part of the json that I don’t know how I’m going to convert.

So here is a summed up version of where the problem is in the json:
(link to full codes at the end)

{
    ...,
    "tilesets":[
        {
            ...,
            tiles: 
            {
                "0": ...,
                "1": ...,
                ...
            }
        },
        ...
    ],
    ...
}

As you can see, the property “tiles” is not a list of tiles, it is instead an object with some properties inside, like “0”, “1”, etc. I was expecting it to be something like:

"tiles": [
    {
        "id": 0,
        ...
    },
    {
        "id": 1,
        ...
    },
    ...
]

As its not a list, I can’t make a variable in my target class like “public Tile tiles” or something, because this is not an array. And this “tiles” object in the json, can have as many propeties as I generate tiles in the tiled editor, so this needs to be a dynamic thing. So the way it is right now, I can’t think of anyway to convert this part of the json to a class. Is there any way to do it?

Here is my full code:

The full json: http://pastie.org/10864781

The class I’m trying to serialize the json into: http://pastie.org/10864784

The code I’m using to read the json: http://pastie.org/10864787

I managed to make it work using a different a different Json API: unity.Json.NET

I followed this tutorial to install it:

After installing that, in my target class, I treated this tiles as a dictionary, like this:

public Dictionary<string, TileData> tiles;

And now it magically works.

The only problem is that they say this unity.Json.NET doesn’t work with iOS, but I think I’m gonna have to deal with that in the future if I ever want to make a build for iOS =(
