An unhandled exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException'

Question

i have this code below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Amazon.DynamoDBv2;
using Amazon.DynamoDBv2.Model;
using Amazon.Runtime;
using System.IO;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {


            using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\Users\\Desktop\abc.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs))
            using (JsonTextReader reader = new JsonTextReader(sr))
            {

                while (reader.Read())
                {
                    if (reader.TokenType == JsonToken.StartObject)
                    {
                        JObject obj = JObject.Load(reader);
                        var device_id = obj["device_id"];
                        Console.WriteLine(device_id);
                    }  
                }
                Console.ReadLine();

            }
        }


    }
}

The file abc.json content is also below

{"_id":{"$oid":"552fcdd61718285a7402aeea"},"gateway_id":2,"device_id":28,"date_time":1.429196246258e+12,"data":[{"r":203,"v":2509},{"r":221,"v":3037},{"r":400,"v":0},{"r":401,"v":0},{"r":402,"v":0},{"r":403,"v":0},{"r":404,"v":0},{"r":405,"v":0},{"r":406,"v":0},{"r":407,"v":0},{"r":408,"v":0},{"r":409,"v":0},{"r":1000,"v":0},{"r":1001,"v":0},{"r":1002,"v":3},{"r":1003,"v":21895},{"r":1004,"v":2500}]}

The error is coming on the line while (reader.Read()). Moreover, Is the above code fine to read the large json file up to 1 GB? thanks

The JsonReaderException is typically thrown with an associated error message which normally tells you exactly what's wrong. Please share all the exception details with us. — Maritim, Aug 29 '17 at 20:27
@Maritim Additional information: Additional text encountered after finished reading JSON content: {. Path '', line 2, position 0. i think that is more detail — Ali Nouman, Aug 29 '17 at 20:29
@HumanLove - update your question with that detail, don't place it here as a comment. When you have an Exception always include the Type, Message, and the stack trace. Repeat this recursively for any inner exception. — Igor, Aug 29 '17 at 20:30
Please add the details to your question. I believe the problem here is that you're not reading the file line by line, and your json objects aren't comma separated. — Maritim, Aug 29 '17 at 20:30

You stored json wrong. Try to use it

As for the large file: I do not advise doing this, because the big part of the file is not the data, but the names of the fields. Use db — A. Lukianovich, Aug 29 '17 at 20:45
