How to get values from elements in JSON without indexing?

Oct 23 2020 6:42 PM
I have the following code that extracts json elements values and outputs to csv:
  1. public static void Json_to_Csv(string jsonInputFile, string csvFile) {  
  2.   using(var p = new ChoJSONReader(jsonInputFile).WithJSONPath("$..readResults")) //   
  3.   "readResults": [{  
  4.     using(var w = new ChoCSVWriter(csvFile).WithFirstLineHeader()) {  
  5.       w.Write(p.Select(r1 =>{  
  6.         var lines = (dynamic[]) r1.lines;  
  7.         return new {  
  8.           FileName = jsonInputFile,  
  9.           Page = r1.page,  
  10.           PracticeName = lines[2].text,  
  11.           OwnerFullName = lines[4].text,  
  12.           OwnerEmail = lines[6].text,  
  13.         };  
  14.       }  
  15.     }  
  16.   }  
  17. }  
csv output:
 
File Name,Page,Practice Name,Owner Full Name,Owner Email
file1.json,1,Some Practice Name,Bob Lee,[email protected]
 
Currently there is no other contextual information on each item to reference them so the only way is by indexing, e.g. lines[2]
 
This works for now but I may have other JSON files that have an extra field, therefore the values pulled will be wrong.
 
In order to address this scenario, how can i pull the values contextually instead of indexing the lines?
 
Ive tried PracticeName = lines["Practice Name"].text,, but i get Cannot implicitly convert type string to int error
 
file1.json sample:
  1. {  
  2.    "status":"succeeded",  
  3.    "createdDateTime":"2020-10-22T19:35:35Z",
