Parse JSON with .NET 2.0

Question

I have an app written in C# with version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. Unfortunately, I do NOT have the option of updating to a newer version of .NET.

My app is calling a webservice that returns some JSON. The returned JSON looks something like the following:

{"Status":1, "ID":"12345"}

I need parse this string and get the respective Status and ID values. If I was using a later version of the .NET framework, I would use the System.Json namespace. However, I do not have that luxury. I have no idea how to parse this response.

Does anyone know how I can parse this with C# in .NET 2.0?

Can you use third party external libraries in your application? — Katie Kilian

Yes, James Newton-King's JSON.NET supports .NET 2.0, and is fairly simple to work with.

I have used it numerous times, where .NET's JavaScriptSerializer just didn't cut it.

Unfortunately JSON.NET isn't adapted for .NET Compact Framework 2.0.

I'm using Json for the Compact Framework.

public class YourClass {        
  public int Status = 0;
  public String ID = "";
}

using CodeBetter.Json;

YourClass object = Converter.Deserialize<YourClass >(jsonString);

I was able to backport Mono's implementation of System.Json to C# 2.0 with a few minor changes.

You'll need 6 files from here or you can simply download my C# 2.0 project from here.

That's just a default using statement that you can remove, I have added a link to a C# 2.0 project containing all the necessary files

System.Linq is only used for ToArray() and can easily be removed.

For .net 2.0 you can you use Newtonsoft.Json and can parse like this JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<yourobject>(jsonString);
