如何在C＃中反序列化JSON对象

Question

I have a following JSON code,

{
    "dataContainer":{
    "sheets":{
        "1":{
            "0":{
                "1":{
                    "type":6,
                    "value":2,
                    "value2":"11-15-1991"
                },
                "2":{
                    "type":10,
                    "value":3,
                    "value2":3
                }
            },
            "1":{
                "1":{
                    "type":6,
                    "value":7,
                    "value2":"11-16-1991"
                },
                "2":{
                    "type":10,
                    "value":8,
                    "value2":8
                }
            }
        },
        "2":{
            "0":{
                "1":{
                    "type":6,
                    "value":2,
                    "value2":"11-15-1991"
                },
                "2":{
                    "type":10,
                    "value":3,
                    "value2":3
                }
            },
            "1":{
                "1":{
                    "type":6,
                    "value":7,
                    "value2":"11-16-1991"
                },
                "2":{
                    "type":10,
                    "value":8,
                    "value2":8
                }
            }
        }
    }}
}

i need to deserialize that code, i have tried that one,

Dictionary<string,object> dict = ser.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(obj);
List<object> sheetObject = new List<object>();
sheetObject = ((Dictionary<string, object>)dict["dataContainer"]).Values.ToList();
public object sheets = new object();
sheets = sheetObject[0];

but this is not working i want to able to work like below,

sheets[1][0][1].type

how to achieve this?

Json.NET is the library to use. This library has a function which will take a JSON string and return a "dynamic" variable representing the JSON. Syntax goes like this:

dynamic dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(YOUR_JSON_STRING);

You can now access the entire JSON tree dynamically, eg:

dynamic sheetObject = dict.dataContainer.sheets;

To iterate over the children at any given level, just use a foreach:

foreach (dynamic child in sheetObject.Children()) { /* do something */ }
