Hi,

I want to read data from API.  
Below is the output string  
{  
“Start” : 2,  
“Index” : 3,  
“Result” :[{  
“Id” : 12345,  
“Email” : {  
“Primary” : true,  
“Type” : “R”  
},  
“DisplayName” : “xyz”,  
“Roles” : [  
{  
“I’d”: 12355,  
“DisplayName”:“test”  
},  
“I’d” : 76567,  
“Value”:“app”  
]

}]  
}

It’s consistent JSon object , json array and multi dimension array.

I need to store this as a dictionary and read the data..  
How can I do this

I am able to read json object by iterating the dictionary but how can I read property of json array.

@Harbansh_Singh  
use deserialize json activity and then you can use it like key value pair(dictionary variable)

@muhamed_fasil yes I am able to do that with json object but when it’s comes, when dictionary has json array then it is giving me all the properties of json array how I can extract particular single value from that…

Hi @Harbansh_Singh ,

Could you also let us know what are the values you would need from the Json and in which format ?
