Trying to get element from JSON

Question

I need to be able to read the elements from JSON. I can successfully get the email address and status, but I can't navigate down to LOADEDFROM, going through merge_fields

Root: {{
"members": [
{
"email_address": "user@domain.com",
"status": "subscribed",
"merge_fields": {
"FIRST_NAME": "Fred",
"LAST_NAME": "Bloggs",
"WEBSTATUS": "SETPASSWORD",
"LOADEDFROM": "K2"
}
}
]
}}

What I have tried:

Dim json As String = responseFromServer
Dim ser As JObject = JObject.Parse(json)
Dim data As List(Of JToken) = ser.Children().ToList

For Each item As JProperty In data
item.CreateReader()
For Each members As JObject In item.Values
Dim u As String = members("email_address")
Dim d As String = members("status")
'how do I get the "LOADEDFROM" bit???
Next

Tried a few combinations of traversing, but failed miserably, I always seem to get = nothing, or invalid references. Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Something like this should work:

C#

Dim json As String = responseFromServer
Dim ser As JObject = JObject.Parse(json)
Dim members As JToken = ser("members")

For Each member As JObject In members
    Dim u As String = member("email_address")
    Dim d As String = member("status")
    Dim l As String = member("merge_fields")("LOADEDFROM")
Next
