Converting dynamic type to dictionary C#

Question

I have a dynamic object that looks like this,

 {
    \"2\" : \"foo\",
    \"5\" : \"bar\",
    \"8\" : \"foobar\"
 }

How can I convert this

Answer 1

You can do it with jsonSerializer. And it requires System.Net.Extensions reference. Here is a sample code.

var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var dict = jss.Deserialize<Dictionary<string,string>>(jsonText);
var place = dict["8"]; // "foobar"
