How to parse json feed in c#?

How can I parse json feed in c#?

I tried following so far:

         string fileurl = "http://itunes.apple.com/rss/customerreviews/id=123456789/json";

        var jsonStr = new WebClient().DownloadString(fileurl);

        JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        var jsonObject = serializer.Deserialize<IDictionary<string, object>>(jsonStr);

Once i get Dictionary<string, object> dic1 = new Dictionary<string, object>(); using above code.

i iterate to get the value object[] as shown below.

        foreach (KeyValuePair<String, object> d in dic1)
        {
            var k = d.Key;
            var v = d.Value;
         }

Now the value is System.Object[] type so can anyone help me parse this object as shown in the below image? I'm new to this so any help would be great!

Perhaps the ServiceStack's JSON parser will help - it supports dynamic JSON.

I tend to use JSON.NET in situations like this. There is an example here where he parses a rss feed using LINQ,

There is also the SelectToken method which queries the parsed JSON using a path syntax.

You're deserializing to the wrong type.

In your code,

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var jsonObject = serializer.Deserialize<IDictionary<string, object>>(jsonStr);

you specify that it needs to deserialize to type IDictionary<string, object>. Try matching the type to something other than object.
