Follw up as below steps: Deserialize your jsonstring to some class List UserList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject >(jsonString); Write following extension method to your project public static DataTable ToDataTable ( this IList data) { PropertyDescriptorCollection props = TpeDescriptor.GetProperties( typeof (T)); DataTable table = new DataTable(); for ( int i = 0 ; i { PropertyDescriptor prop = props[i]; table.Columns.Add(prop.Name, prop.PropertyType); } object [] values = new object [props.Count]; foreach (T item in data) { for ( int i = 0; i { values[i] = props[i].GetValue(item); } table.Rows.Add(values); } return table; } or try below one private DataTable ConvertJSONToDataTable( string jsonString) { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); //strip out bad characters string [] jsonParts = Regex.Split(jsonString.Replace( "[" , "" ).Replace( "]" , "" ), "},{" ); //hold column names List string > dtColumns = new List string >(); //get columns foreach ( string jp in jsonParts) { //only loop thru once to get column names string [] propData = Regex.Split(jp.Replace( "{" , "" ).Replace( "}" , "" ), "," ); foreach ( string rowData in propData) { try { int idx = rowData.IndexOf( ":" ); string n = rowData.Substring(0, idx - 1); string v = rowData.Substring(idx + 1); if (!dtColumns.Contains(n)) { dtColumns.Add(n.Replace( "\"" , "" )); } } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception( string .Format( "Error Parsing Column Name : {0}" , rowData)); } } break ; // TODO: might not be correct. Was : Exit For } //build dt foreach ( string c in dtColumns) { dt.Columns.Add(c); } //get table data foreach ( string jp in jsonParts) { string [] propData = Regex.Split(jp.Replace( "{" , "" ).Replace( "}" , "" ), "," ); DataRow nr = dt.NewRow(); foreach ( string rowData in propData) { try { int idx = rowData.IndexOf( ":" ); string n = rowData.Substring(0, idx - 1).Replace( "\"" , "" ); string v = rowData.Substring(idx + 1).Replace( "\"" , "" ); nr[n] = v; } catch (Exception ex) { continue ; } } dt.Rows.Add(nr); } return dt; }
