c# - Deserialize JSON object into dynamic object using Json.net

Question

Is it possible to return a dynamic object from a json deserialization using json.net? I would like to do something like this:

dynamic jsonResponse = JsonConvert.Deserialize(json);
Console.WriteLine(jsonResponse.message);

Answer 1

Json.NET allows us to do this:

dynamic d = JObject.Parse("{number:1000, str:'string', array: [1,2,3,4,5,6]}");

Console.WriteLine(d.number);
Console.WriteLine(d.str);
Console.WriteLine(d.array.Count);

Output:

 1000
 string
 6
