Working with a string in JSON format

Question

I have a long string in JSON format. This is what it looks like:

{"ShowMapUrl":true,"GameDiffusionType":5,"InputYellowCards":false,"DisplayYellowCards":false,"InputYellowCards2":false}

Note that the string is much longer. I've been trying to convert that string into a dictionary by using json.NET without success. Any tips?

Json is not a format. It is serialized object data. You cant deserialzie part of a json string, so you should post it all as well as how you are trying to use it. — Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp

Use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>():

var json = @"{""ShowMapUrl"":true,""GameDiffusionType"":5,""InputYellowCards"":false,""DisplayYellowCards"":false,""InputYellowCards2"":false}";
var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(json);

It works with the string you used, but not with mine. But why do you have more quotes than I do? What does the symbol @ do?
