convert JSON object to collections which implements IEnumerable

how can I convert JSON object to Collections that implement IEnumerable so that I can use in foreach

ERROR: "foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Attributes' because 'Attributes' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator' " the .net code to traverse Attributes:

var jsonData  = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Rootobject>(json); 
//RootObject  is the class generated from Json using Paste JSON as Classes    
var att = jsonData.AnswerTA.Attributes;
            foreach (var item in att)<-- This is giving error
            {}

Part of JSON file: 

  {  "FormTitle": "This is Form Title from JSON",  
"TitleQuestion1": "This s the Title of Question 1",  
"TextQuestion1": "1-    This is the text of Quextion umber 1",            "AnswerRadioButton": {    "visibleRB": "true",    "titleRB": "Radio Button Title",
"FieldsetRB": "yes",
"optionRB": [
  {

  }
  ]

In your json sample "Attributes" is not an array. If you want to enumerate Attributes it needs to be defined as an array:

 "Attributes":[ {
   "placeholder": "this is the watermark",
   "title": "this is tooltip",
   "maxlength": "10",
   "minlength": "5",
   "required": "yes"
 },
 { 
   "placeholder": "this is the watermark",
   "title": "this is tooltip",
   "maxlength": "10",
   "minlength": "5",
   "required": "yes"
 } ],

Or, you need to make Attributes class implement IEnumerable interface.

Also, you can enumerate the properties of Attributes by using reflection
