Deserializing JSON using JSon.NET with dynamic data

Question

I\'m trying to deserialize some JSON data into objects for an application. Up until now it\'s been fine because the properties on the JSON data was static (key with a value)

Answer 1

The simplest method. In this particular case would probably be to go dynamic.

dynamic data = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
var lastRevId = data.query.pages["6695"].lastrevid;

You can reference any element by it's [] name so you can do something like data["query"]["pages"]["6695"]["lastrevid"]. This will get by all those little objects where the name isn't valid in c#.
