Json deserialisation of server results?
Hi there,
I have been trying for a couple hours to deserialize info from my server for our high score system. Everytime i try to i will get n error "ArgumentException: JSON must represent an object type."
This is my Json info which is generated by my server when i echo it out. What am i doing wrong?
[
{
"ScoreID": "8",
"GoogleID": "asasda",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "11",
"GoogleID": "kjjahushcjkasjkcajskndas",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "10",
"GoogleID": "aakhskjbjkabsjjkasd",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "9",
"GoogleID": "mnbabksgkajsd",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "13",
"GoogleID": "kajiuskabkjshdkhausd",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "7",
"GoogleID": "asasdas,mgkhgjhbhjaf",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "6",
"GoogleID": "ss",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "5",
"GoogleID": "kljkuasjkba",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "4",
"GoogleID": "asdadasdasdasdw",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "3",
"GoogleID": "asdadsasd",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "2",
"GoogleID": "kbaskjkjsbnkjas",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "12",
"GoogleID": "lahaushyuiahkjsjksd",
"Score": "258"
},
{
"ScoreID": "1",
"GoogleID": "254asdasd54a5s1das2d1as54d",
"Score": "259"
},
{
"ScoreID": "14",
"GoogleID": "kjaskjhjkahsjkdnjkasd",
"Score": "6859"
}
]
and this is the classes im trying to serialise into
[System.Serializable]
public class LeaderBoardEntries
{
public int ScoreID;
public string GoogleID;
public int Score;
}
[System.Serializable]
public class Scores
{
public List<LeaderBoardEntries> scores;
}
There is built in functionality for parsing json name "JsonUtility" which serialized/deserialized json string to object or vice versa.
string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(myObject);
Unity Official Documentation For JSONSerialization link JSONSerialization
"ArgumentException: JSON must represent an object type."
an object type in json is a {}. your json is a [], which is an array.
if you're able to change the server code, modify it to emit something like
{
"scores": [
{
"ScoreID": "1",
"GoogleID": "254asdasd54a5s1das2d1as54d",
"Score": "259"
},
{
"ScoreID": "12",
"GoogleID": "lahaushyuiahkjsjksd",
"Score": "258"
}
]
}
if you're not able to modify the server code, have your client modify the json string before parsing. eg
string newJSONString = "{ \"scores\": " + oldJSONString + " }";
.. i would strongly advise trying to to it on the server, tho.
also, unrelatedly, if it were me i would rename your "LeaderBoardEntries" class to "LeaderBoardEntry".
actually, the docs are pretty vague. arrays are not mentioned.
