| Oct 11, 2018 at 17:52 | comment | added | t3chb0t | Could you tell something more about this part: I need a dynamic approach. I do not want to create C# classes for the JSON data. - why does it have to be dynamic? What are using this for? | |
| Oct 11, 2018 at 17:49 | comment | added | t3chb0t | Here is a simplified version of my JSON - what do you mean by simplified? Have you removed any properties from it or made the structure simpler? Usually we don't like anything simplified... | |
| Oct 11, 2018 at 15:33 | comment | added | Xiaoy312 | @PieterWitvoet You're right. The example in the initial post looked like it was a simple distinct by name. | |
| Oct 11, 2018 at 15:17 | comment | added | Pieter Witvoet |
@Xiaoy312: that only compares categories by name, which isn't sufficient. Replacing that GroupBy part with Distinct(JToken.EqualityComparer) should make it work as intended.

You can simplify the code down to: string.Join("\n", JObject.Parse(jString)["Relations"].SelectMany(x => x["Categories"]).GroupBy(x => (string)x["Name"], (k, g) => g.First()))

@PieterWitvoet - Well, I believe I had a great reason in my head for creating result, but after working for 10 straight hours, I believe I was just confused :). I will delete it from the question. I will edit the question to answer the other questions. Thanks for the notes!

Why do you create a second list (result) that ends up being a copy of the first (categories)? How is this code meant to be used (since it doesn't return anything)? And how important is input validation (e.g. do you need JToken.DeepEquals or is it safe to use (string)category.Name for comparisons)?

Is it necessary that your result is in JSON? Couldn't you want a list of categories without json? Like : ["Identity","Contact Information",...]
