c# - Deserializing JSON string to Object with json.net -

i'm building small application pulls statistics api have no control over. json string looks this:

{     "weapons":         [             {                 "aek":                     {                         "name":"aek-971 vintovka",                         "kills":47,                         "shots_fired":5406,                         "shots_hit":858                     },                 "xm8":                     {                         "name":"xm8 prototype",                         "kills":133,                         "shots_fired":10170,                         "shots_hit":1790                     },             }         ] } 

and objects set follows:

class weapscollection {     public weaponlist[] weapons { get; set; } }  class weaponlist {     public weapondetails aek { get; set; }     public weapondetails xm8 { get; set; } }  class weapondetails {     public string name { get; set; }     public int kills { get; set; }     public int shots_fired { get; set; }     public int shots_hit { get; set; } } 

i don't have problems deserializing string way set now, i.e. can do:

weapscollection weps = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<weapscollection>(json); console.writeline(weps.weapons.first().aek.name.tostring()); console.readline(); 

this outputs aek-971 vintovka

fine... don't want different weapons separate properties. want able enumerate , foreach on each weapon or this:

console.writeline(weapons.where(w => w.kills > 30).name.tostring()); 

any tips how achieve this?

the list of actual weapons 60+ i've been thinking doing string.replace ("[weaponname]", "weapon") on json data before deserializing it, cannot work either.

i'd appreciate tips.

what remove square brackets json, turns array dictionary. deserialise directly class:

class weaponlist {     public dictionary<string, weapondetails> weapons { get; set; } } 

you can whatever want that.
