JSON Deserialize - can you spot the problem?

[CW!]

I've spent many hours with this script. It executes without error, but does NOT extract the JSON data for some reason, the 2nd WriteLog statement gives an empty string. Any help appreciated.

My first post - couldn't figure out how to insert code as in other posts I've seen (sorry).

Imports System.Web.Script.Serialization

Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)
Try
Dim json As New JavaScriptSerializer

Dim DataRaw as String = hs.DeviceStringByName("Big5 HTTP WU")
' data:
' {"observations":[{"stationID":"KNMSILVE59","obsTimeUtc":"2019-08-07T17:45:02Z","obsTimeLocal":"2019-08-07 11:45:02","neighborhood":"Silver City","softwareType":"myAcuRite","country":"US","solarRadiat ion":null,"lon":-108.2144928,"realtimeFrequency":null,"epoch":1565199902,"lat ":32.86399078,"uv":2.0,"winddir":317,"humidity":40,"qcSt atus ":-1,"imperial":{"temp":84,"heatIndex":83,"dewpt":57,"windChi ll ":84,"windSpeed":3,"windGust":6,"pressure":30.29,"precip Rate ":0.0,"precipTotal":0.0,"elev":6864}}]}
hs.WriteLog("Parse", DataRaw)


Dim jData As Observation = json.Deserialize(Of Observation)(DataRaw)
hs.WriteLog("PARSE", jData.stationID)

Catch Ex As Exception
hs.WriteLog("Parse",Ex.Message)
End Try

End Sub

Public Class Imperial
Public Property temp As Integer
Public Property heatIndex As Integer
Public Property dewpt As Integer
Public Property windChill As Integer
Public Property windSpeed As Integer
Public Property windGust As Integer
Public Property pressure As Double
Public Property precipRate As Double
Public Property precipTotal As Double
Public Property elev As Integer
End Class

Public Class Observation

Public Property imperial As Imperial
End Class

Are the spaces in solarRadiat ion and other items just cut and paste issues or are they spaces?

[CW!]

I checked - no spaces, this is probably a word wrap problem, since the data set is one long string - where it splits seems random. It doesn't appear when word wrap is not enabled (in an editor, for example).

Your json data is a dictionary with the key observations which contains a list of Observation objects. So decoding that as an Observation won’t work. You need the container object which holds a list and then container.observations[0] would be what you expected. At least that’s how I’m reading the json data...

Yup, that was it. Knew it was right in front of me. Thanks, bsobel.
Have a great day!
