JSON array to C# Dictionary

Question

to a C# Dictionary wi

Answer 1

Its quite simple actually :

lets say you get your json in a string like :

string jsonString = @"[{"myKey":"myValue"},
{"anotherKey":"anotherValue"}]";

then you can deserialize it using JSON.NET as follows:

JArray a = JArray.Parse(jsonString);

// dictionary hold the key-value pairs now
Dictionary dict = new Dictionary();

foreach (JObject o in a.Children())
{
    foreach (JProperty p in o.Properties())
    {
        string name = p.Name;
        string value = (string)p.Value;
        dict.Add(name,value);
    }
}
