Get JSON Data

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others (http://www.json.org/)

How to get those data and deserialize them into our object data ?
You can check out the following C# code :

	using System;
	using System.Collections.Generic;
	using System.Linq;
	using System.Text;
	using Common;
	using System.Net;
	using System.IO;
	using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
	namespace JsonConsoleApplication
	{
	class Program
	{
	private const string apiUrl = "http://www.example.com";
	private const string loginname = "xxxx";
	private const string password = "****";
	static void Main(string[] args)
	{
	WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
	string url = apiUrl;
	webClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(loginname,password);
	var json = webClient.DownloadString(url);
	JavaScriptSerializer parser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
	var info = parser.Deserialize<List<Track>>(json);
	List<Track> listTrack = (List<Track>)info;
	//note that List<Track> is an object, you can change it by yours
	}
	}
	}

Please note that Track object properties should be configured as same as the JSON return value. As such, before create the object data, you must generate c# classes from JSON. You may use jsonTocsharp by simply entering the JSON, and klik generate, you will get a bunch properties that should be put within your class/object.
