Extra curly braces when parsing string with Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject

I have the following string that I want to parse:

result = ""faceId":"55717de7-4099-4016-8d72-5c4c9c06fca1","faceRectangle":"top":316,"left":327,"width":154,"height":154,"faceAttributes":"smile":0.013,"gender":"female","age":23.0,"facialHair":"moustache":0.0,"beard":0.0,"sideburns":0.0,"glasses":"Sunglasses""

JObject jsonObject = JObject.parse(result);

This is what the jsonObject becomes:


 "faceId": "a2e0c348-c144-4cb7-a7c5-535efabc0482",
 "faceRectangle": 
 "top": 316,
 "left": 327,
 "width": 154,
 "height": 154
 ,
 "faceAttributes": 
 "smile": 0.013,
 "gender": "female",
 "age": 23.0,
 "facialHair": 
 "moustache": 0.0,
 "beard": 0.0,
 "sideburns": 0.0
 ,
 "glasses": "Sunglasses"

As you can see above, I suddenly have extra curly braces around the object after parsing. When pasting this into http://json.parser.online.fr/ it returns errors because of these extra braces. Because of the braces, I can't query information from it.

Is there a way that I can get rid of the extra curly braces?

"I suddenly have extra curly braces around the object after parsing" this makes no sense...where exactly are you seeing this display? When you parse JSON, it becomes an object - code variable representing a data structure. It ceases to be a string of text any more. Any textual representation you're seeing is probably just a function of the debugger, and is largely meaningless - if you want to see it as JSON again you must explicitly serialise it back into a string.

Now, you say "Because of the braces, I can't query information from it"...but you didn't show what code you're writing to query it, or which information exactly you want, or what error / issue you're facing in running your query. Some extra braces shown, probably in a debugger, would have no material impact on that as far as I can see. Please show the actual code which is causing the problem and explain what error you're getting. Then we might be able to offer some practical help. Thanks.

Are you looking at this value in the debugger? The Visual Studio debugger wraps the results of ToString() calls in curly braces for some reason. To see what value you really have you should output it to the debugger window using Debug.WriteLine, or write it to a file using File.WriteAllText. I bet you will find the extra curly braces suddenly aren't there anymore.

By the way, here is a fiddle to prove the point: dotnetfiddle.net/p5sJEA

Brian thank you, yes that is right! I got the value during debugging in Visual Studio. The problem is solved now!
