Deserialize Json String in .Net without creating Type or anonymous type

I have JSON string in following format.

{
  "Request": {
    "Header": { "Action": "Login" },
    "DataPayload": {
      "UserName": "user",
      "Password": "password"
    }
  }
}

I need to deserialize the above JSON string without creating any Type or Anonymous type and I should be able to access properties like below in .NET.

Request.Header.Action : To get action value.
Request.DataPayload.UserName : To get username.

You can do this easily using Json.NET.

Either parse your string as a JObject and use it like a dictionary: 

var obj = JObject.Parse(str);
var action = obj["Request"]["Header"]["Action"];

Or deserialize it into a dynamic object, if you don't mind losing static typing:

dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(str);
var action = obj.Request.Header.Action;
