How to get all variables from a string

I get a string from UnityWebRequest containing all the information I need. The problem is that UnityWebRequest.downloadHandler.text returns a string.

How do I get all variables, like all the names, put into an array of strings?

Below is an example of some code I get.

"{'id': 1, 'name': Bob, 'age': 25},{'id': 2, 'name': Mark, 'age': 32},{'id': 3, 'name': Simon, 'age': 16}";

I managed to figure this out. The problem was that my JSON class wasn't written probably. I copied the string UnityWebRequest sent me and saved it to a text file. I then imported this text file into Unity assets folder and from there I used Visual Studios "Paste Special" and that created my JSON class for me.

From there I used JSONUtility.FromJson to read UnityWebRequest and then I could get all the information I needed from the string.

Thanks to Sani Singh Huttunen for providing me clues to solve this problem.

You should parse it as Json.
But that can be a bit tricky since the data isn't strictly valid Json.
You need to do some reformatting first:

Here is a simple example:

using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var jsonString = "{'id': 1, 'name': Bob, 'age': 25},{'id': 2, 'name': Mark, 'age': 32},{'id': 3, 'name': Simon, 'age': 16}";
        jsonString = jsonString.Replace("\'", "");
        jsonString = Regex.Replace(jsonString, @"\w+", @"""$0""");
        jsonString = "[" + jsonString + "]";

        var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data[]>(jsonString);
    }
}

public class Data
{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public int Age {get;set;}
}
