Question

Is there a native library that would allow me to parse a Json formatted string? Say, for example, I had the string:

string inp = "{ \"title\": \"My Title\" }";

Is there a class where I can construct an object using that Json formatted string and find the value for title?

Edit: My app is a console application.

Answer 1

You can use the DataContractJsonSerializer to deserialize a Json formatted string into an object

For better performance, if you’re willing to install a NuGet package,

http://json.codeplex.com/

is quite popular.

Both alternatives work for a console application.
