I find this to be the friendliest and most concise way to post an read JSON data:

var url = @"http://www.myapi.com/";
var request = new Request { Greeting = "Hello world!" };
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(request);
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
    var jsonResponse = client.UploadString(url, json);
    var response = JsonSerializer.Deserialize(jsonResponse);
}

I'm using Microsoft's System.Text.Json for serializing and deserializing JSON. See NuGet.
