How do I loop through JSON to parse and display each item?

Question

I am trying to pull data and display it from a rest API using C#. However I am having trouble looping through it and displaying each individual item I have tried code like so

private void ParseAndDisplay(JsonValue json)
{
    JsonValue teamData = json["teams"];
    TextView name = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.txtName);

    foreach(var team in teamData)
    {
        name.Text = team["name"];
    }
}

What is it I do differently? For now I am simply trying to loop through and display all the teams "name" in one text view.

Thanks guys I am quite new to using apis and this sort of stuff do you know any good tutorials about deserializing this type of data? — Cathy Regan, Apr 23 '17 at 08:56
You Can use dynamic keyword if your dont want create class [see](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3142495/deserialize-json-into-c-sharp-dynamic-object) — Mahdi, Apr 23 '17 at 09:43

Ok. lets assume this is your json object:

{"Tables":[
  {"field1":1,"field2":2}
  ,{"field1":1,"field2":2
  }]}

at first we create a object like this:

public class Table
{
    public int field1 { get; set; }
    public int field2 { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<Table> Tables { get; set; }
}

then just deserilize your json into object then iterate it like this:

    var objs = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(yourJson);
    foreach(var t in objs.Tables)
    {
        //do something
    }
