I am trying to convert XML string to C# object, I have json string acle in xml tag, as shown below,

<message> <data:gcm xmlns:data=\"google:mobile:data\">{\"message_type\":\"ack\",\"from\":\"sdhad4asd4a-sdasd45ds\",\"message_id\":\"-something\"}</data:gcm> </message>

I want json string from data tag I just want this string from above xml,

{\\"message_type\\":\\"ack\\",\\"from\\":\\"sdhad4asd4a-sdasd45ds\\",\\"message_id\\":\\"-something\\"}

So how can I get this using c#.?

By reading some LINQ to XML documents I got the solution which is like below,

XDocument xdoc = new XDocument();
xdoc = XDocument.Parse(msg.ToString());

var result = xdoc.Element("message").Descendants();

var myString = result.FirstOrDefault().Value; //This will out given json string

Again Thank you @JonSkeet for your suggestion.!
