If you're new to coding and JSON, here's a JSON string you can work with:
Currently, I've managed to extract the timestamp but struggling to retrieve data like station names.
Below is a snippet of a proxy class:
public class BPNewYorkCityProxy
{
public async static Task<RootObject> GetNewYorkCity()
{
var http = new HttpClient();
var response = await http.GetAsync("https://feeds.citibikenyc.com/stations/stations.json");
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(RootObject));
var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(result));
var data = (RootObject)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
return data;
}
}
[DataContract]
public class StationBeanList
{
// Properties for station details
}
[DataContract]
public class RootObject
{
// Properties including execution time and list of StationBeanList objects
}
Here's a portion of XAML code where attempts are being made to display more than just the timestamp:
private async void GetData_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
RootObject nycData = await BPNewYorkCityProxy.GetNewYorkCity();
// Need help accessing station names from the list...
//myStationName.Text =
// This successfully displays the timestamp
myTimeStamp.Text = nycData.executionTime.ToString();
}
If you have any tips or solutions on how to achieve this, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
