I have a json like the following:
{
"d": {
"results": [
{
"__metadata": {
},
"prop1": "value1",
"prop2": "value2",
"__some": "value"
},
{
"__metadata": {
},
"prop3": "value1",
"prop4": "value2",
"__some": "value"
},
]
}
}
I just want to transform this JSON into a different JSON. I want to strip out the "_metadata" and "_some" nodes from the JSON. I'm using JSON.NET.
This answer applies if you have a JArray with JTokens, not JObjects:
Here is an example:
string json = "[null, null, \"x\", null, null, null, 0,[],[[\"x\"], null,[0],[\"x\"]]]";
JArray array = JArray.Parse(json);
// Keep first 3 elements, remove the rest
int max = array.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < max - 3; i++)
{
JToken elem = array[3];
array.Remove(elem);
}
json = array.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None);
Console.WriteLine(json);
