I am using this function for describe table.
Use it after fill datatable

static public string DataTableToJSON(DataTable dataTable,bool readableformat=true)
        {
            string JSONString="[";
            string JSONRow;
            string colVal;
            foreach(DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows)
            {
                if(JSONString!="[") { JSONString += ","; }
                JSONRow = "";
                if (readableformat) { JSONRow += "\r\n"; }
                JSONRow += "{";

                foreach (DataColumn col in dataTable.Columns)
                {
                    colVal = dataRow[col].ToString();
                    colVal = colVal.Replace("\"", "\\\"");
                    colVal = colVal.Replace("'", "\\\'");
                    if(JSONRow!="{"&&JSONRow!="\r\n{") {

                        JSONRow += ",";

                    }
                    JSONRow += "\"" + col.ColumnName + "\":\"" + colVal + "\"";

                }
                JSONRow += "}";
                JSONString += JSONRow;
            }
            JSONString += "\r\n]";
            return JSONString;
        }

MySQL Query: "DESCRIBE TableName;"; DataTableToJSON(dataTable) Example Output:

[
{"Field":"id","Type":"int(5)","Null":"NO","Key":"PRI","Default":"","Extra":"auto_increment"},
{"Field":"ad","Type":"int(11) unsigned","Null":"NO","Key":"MUL","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"soyad","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"ulke","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"alan","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"numara","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"NO","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""}
]

Tested With PHP:

$X='[
{"Field":"id","Type":"int(5)","Null":"NO","Key":"PRI","Default":"","Extra":"auto_increment"},
{"Field":"ad","Type":"int(11) unsigned","Null":"NO","Key":"MUL","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"soyad","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"ulke","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"alan","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"YES","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""},
{"Field":"numara","Type":"varchar(20)","Null":"NO","Key":"","Default":"","Extra":""}
]';
$Y=json_decode($X,true);
echo $Y[0]["Field"];
var_dump($Y);
