How to parse JSON without JSON.NET library?

by

You can use the classes found in the System.Json Namespace which were added in .NET 4.5. You need to add a reference to the System.Runtime.Serialization assembly

The JsonValue.Parse() Method parses JSON text and returns a JsonValue:

JsonValue value = JsonValue.Parse(@"{ ""name"":""Prince Charming"", ...");

If you pass a string with a JSON object, you should be able to cast the value to a JsonObject:

using System.Json;


JsonObject result = value as JsonObject;

Console.WriteLine("Name .... {0}", (string)result["name"]);
Console.WriteLine("Artist .. {0}", (string)result["artist"]);
Console.WriteLine("Genre ... {0}", (string)result["genre"]);
Console.WriteLine("Album ... {0}", (string)result["album"]);

The classes are quite similar to those found in the System.Xml.Linq Namespace.
