c# - Deserialise Nested JSON with JSON Utility Unity 5.4

This is what my JSON looks like: {"series":[{,"points":[{"ts":"1473850836254","value":"11.27"},{"ts":"1473851256637","value":"6.44"}]}]}

I am trying to access the values in "points" by calling something like: data.series.points[0].ts

    Void Start(){
    IncomingData data = IncomingData.CreateFromJSON(jsonResponse.text);
    print("Series point length" + data.series.points.Count);
    print("Series point 0" + data.series.points.get_Item[0].ts); // error
    }

//----------------------------------------- classes -------------------------

    [System.Serializable]
    public class IncomingData
    {

        public Series series;
        public static IncomingData CreateFromJSON(string json)
        {   
            return JsonUtility.FromJson(json);
         }
    }

    [System.Serializable]
    public class Series
    {

        public List points = new List { };
    }


    [System.Serializable]
    public class Points
    {
        public int ts;
        public int value;
    }

My error:

// error CS0021: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type `method group'

Answer

You say you want to use data.series.points[0].ts but then you... don't, you use data.series.points.get_Item[0].ts

The thing you say you want to use works perfectly fine so let's dig into why the other thing is not working:

• get_Item is a function, not a field or property. So you need to call it with (0) and not with [0]


• get_Item is a magical function that should never ever be called directly. There is a special error for it as well (CS0571, "cannot explicitly call operator or accessor").


• get_Item is called if you use the syntax points[0], the compiler translates this to .get_Item(0) so you can use the neat looking fancy syntax and not worry about anything.
