c# - How to parse JSON to a dynamic object on Windows Phone 7?

Question

For web applications I can use System.Web and use this trick to convert JSON to a dynamic object.

But for Windows Phone I can't use JavaScriptConverter. What is the workaround to convert JSON in a dynamic object on Windows Phone 7.1?

Answer 1

Json.Net ( http://james.newtonking.com/pages/json-net.aspx )

-----EDIT-----

If WP7 supports DynamicObject:

using System;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Collections;

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

public class JSonTest 
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string jsonStr = @"
            { 
                'glossary': { 
                    'title': 'example glossary', 
                    'GlossDiv': { 
                        'title': 'S',
