Any help would be great. Or a little clue about how to parse Json will also be enough.

Answer 1

It seems like you need to de-serialise a JSON string to an object. You can create create a class that represents the object, and then de-serialise the json to it.

Something like

class Information
{
   int id;
   string name;
   string telephone;
   // etc
}

Then de-serialise with something like this

JavaScriptSerializer json_serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
// Using List<T> as the JSON is organised like an array
List<Information> info = (List<Information >)json_serializer.DeserializeObject(JSONFeed);

Where JSONFeed is your json string from the website.
