C＃将JSON解析为Dictionary <string, List<string>

Question

I have some JSON returned inthe format of :

[{
"Strains":[{
    "Description":"String content"
    }],
"Description":"String content"
}]

Where there is a one to many relationship between the Description and the Strains. I want to parse this into a Dictionary<string, List<string>> , could somebody please advise what I should be looking at to achieve this?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I've tried deserializing as such:

JsonDeserializer des = new JsonDeserializer();
var foo = (List<Dictionary<string, object>>)des.DeserializeObject(json);

However, no joy. I'm just having a play with JSON.net, to see if there's anything there that helps.

Answer 1

I think it's failing because technically it's not a straight cast to a Dictionary<string, object> . The "Strains" property is an object, whilst the "Description" property could be mapped as a KeyValuePair

You'll need to deserialize this to an object. Have you tried Json.NET ?
