How can I deserialize a JSON object that uses unspecified and variable property names

问题

I have a JSON response (which I have no control over) similar to this:

{"response":{
  "a" : "value of a",
  "b" : "value of b",
  "c" : "value of c",
  ...
}}

Where:

"a", "b", "c" are unknown names upfront.
The number of items can vary.

All I need at the end is an array of strings for all the values. Keeping the names is a bonus (Dictionary?) but I need to browse values by the order in which they appear.

How would you achieve this using JSON.NET?

You can use the JObject class from the Newtonsoft.Json.Linq namespace to deserialize the object into a DOM-like structure:

public class StackOverflow_10608188
{
    public static void Test()
    {
        string json = @"{""response"":{
          ""a"" : ""value of a"",
          ""b"" : ""value of b"",
          ""c"" : ""value of c""
        }}";
        JObject jo = JObject.Parse(json);
        foreach (JProperty property in jo["response"].Children())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(property.Value);
        }
    }
}

This works but not very pretty. I believe you can exchange to json.net with JavaScriptSerializer.

var json = "{\"response\":{\"a\":\"value of a\",\"b\":\"value of b\",\"c\":\"value of c\"}}";
var x = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
var res = x.Deserialize<IDictionary<string, IDictionary<string, string>>>(json);

foreach (var key in res.Keys)
{
    foreach (var subkey in res[key].Keys)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(res[key][subkey]);
    }
}

Console.WriteLine(res["response"]["a"]);
Console.WriteLine(res["response"]["b"]);
Console.WriteLine(res["response"]["c"]);

output:

value of a
value of b
value of c
