Answer 1

For those who need same in F#:

module JsonFlatten =

let Join prefix name =
    if String.IsNullOrEmpty(prefix) then name else prefix + "." + name

let rec FillDictionaryFromJToken (dict:Dictionary) (token:JToken) (prefix:string) =
    match token.Type with
    | JTokenType.Object ->
        for prop in token.Children() do
            FillDictionaryFromJToken dict prop.Value (Join prefix prop.Name)
    | JTokenType.Array ->
        let mutable index = 0

        for value in token.Children() do
            FillDictionaryFromJToken dict  value (Join prefix (index.ToString()))
            index <- index + 1
    | _ ->
        dict.Add(prefix, sprintf "%A" (token :?> JValue).Value)

let DeserializeAndFlatten(json:string) =
    let dict = Dictionary()
    let token = JToken.Parse(json);
    FillDictionaryFromJToken dict  token ""
    dict
