c# - How to read values from config.json in Console Application -

i installed asp.net 5 , created console application in visual studio. i've added file, config.json, root folder of project.

it looks this:

{ "data": {     "targetfolderlocations": {         "testfolder1": "some path",         "testfolder2": "another path"     } } 

}

my program.cs looks this

public void main(string[] args)     {         var configurationbuilder = new configurationbuilder(environment.currentdirectory)         .addjsonfile("config.json")         .addenvironmentvariables();         configuration = configurationbuilder.build();          //doesn't work...null time         var test = configuration.get("data:targetfolderlocations");          console.readline();     } 

how can access targetfolderlocations key code?

have type following:

public class foldersettings {     public dictionary<string, string> targetfolderlocations { get; set; } } 

you can use configurationbinder automatically bind configuration sections types above. example:

var foldersettings = configurationbinder.bind<foldersettings>(config.getconfigurationsection("data")); var path = foldersettings.targetfolderlocations["testfolder1"];
