Deserialize into a class. You can use https://json2csharp.com/ that makes it easier to convert json into a C# class. Deserialize -> json (string) to object Serialize -> object to json (string)

Try avoiding dynamic. Go with concrete objects.

public async Task<string> GetRandomJokeAsync()
        {
            var request = new HttpRequestMessage
            {
                Method = HttpMethod.Get,
                RequestUri = new Uri($"https://api.humorapi.com/jokes/random?api-key={AppSettings.HumorApiKey}")
            };

            using var response = await _client.SendAsync(request);
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            var data = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()) ?? new Dictionary<string, object>();

            return data.TryGetValue("joke", out object value) ? value.ToString() : string.Empty;
        }

public async Task<string> GetRandomJokeAsync()
        {
            var request = new HttpRequestMessage
            {
                Method = HttpMethod.Get,
                RequestUri = new Uri($"https://api.humorapi.com/jokes/random?api-key={AppSettings.HumorApiKey}")
            };

            using var response = await _client.SendAsync(request);
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            var data = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()) ?? new Dictionary<string, object>();

            return data.TryGetValue("joke", out object value) ? value.ToString() : string.Empty;
        }

Dictionary<string, object> is only slightly less worse Also, your code seems to be using WebClient?

V0FBU1VM•3y ago

You are total right, as I said a concrete object is much better. But I got lazy there. I'm not sure what you mean by WebClient? No it's using HttpClient! if that's what you mean.

Angius•3y ago

Ah, my mistake then Seemed too complex for a httpclient, since you can just use await client.GetAsJsonAsync<MyClass>(url);

V0FBU1VM•3y ago

Oh maybe I overcomplicated it. I wasn't aware you could do await client.GetAsJsonAsync<MyClass>(url); yeah that for sure simplifies it. Good to know.
