Parsing JSON in ASP.NET

Question

I have the following JSOn I need to parse:

{"items":[{"dict":"es","words":[{"word":"car","id":"3487"},{"word":"dog","id":"443"},{"word":"plane","id":"1171"}]},{"dict":"fr","words":[{"word":"house","id":"134"}]}]}

Using JavaScriptSerializer, how could I iterate first through each dict and then retrieve the id of each word?

There are various JSon (de)serializers out there, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one... — Laurent S.

Do you have any model that will hold this for deserialization? — Fals

@scheien I don't know where to start besides making my own parser. I know how to do this in PHP but I'm not that familiar with ASP — Cornwell

make anonymouse type, acording your json, for example:

var result = new[] {new {action = "", value = false}}; // put your item structure here
var list   = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(myJson, result.GetType());

then you might want to itterate through. For example:

foreach (dynamic val in  ((dynamic) list)) { ...
