Question

I need to make an http request for JSON data on a sharepoint site. When accessing the data through the browser, I am first prompted for a username and password. After entering my credentials I am allowed to see the JSON. I am new to C# and am wondering the best way go about forming my request, retrieving the response, and parsing the JSON. I have worked with JSON requests in java before, but never had to deal with sharepoint credentials. Thanks in advance.

Here you go:

private void login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string username = uname.Text;
    string password = pword.Text;
    string url = "THE SITE URL HERE";
    var req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    req.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
    var response = req.GetResponse();
    //Do Stuff with response
}
