Parse JSON with .NET 2.0

I have an app written in C# with version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. Unfortunately, I do NOT have the option of updating to a newer version of .NET.

My app is calling a webservice that returns some JSON. The returned JSON looks something like the following:

{"Status":1, "ID":"12345"}

I need parse this string and get the respective Status and ID values. If I was using a later version of the .NET framework, I would use the System.Json namespace. However, I do not have that luxury. I have no idea how to parse this response.

Does anyone know how I can parse this with C# in .NET 2.0?

For .net 2.0 you can you use Newtonsoft.Json and can parse like this JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<yourobject>(jsonString);

I was able to backport Mono's implementation of System.Json to C# 2.0 with a few minor changes.

You'll need 6 files from here or you can simply download my C# 2.0 project from here.

Unfortunately JSON.NET isn't adapted for .NET Compact Framework 2.0.

I'm using Json for the Compact Framework.

public class YourClass {        
  public int Status = 0;
  public String ID = "";
}

using CodeBetter.Json;

YourClass object = Converter.Deserialize<YourClass >(jsonString);
