Answer 1

I prefer to use dynamic object in these cases (No need for creating ugly classes)

such as:

dynamic jsonObj = JsonUtils.JsonObject.GetDynamicJsonObject(json);
foreach(var item in jsonObj)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.delivery_line_1 + ", " + 
                      item.last_line + ", " +
                      item.metadata.county_name + ", " +
                      item.components.street_name + ", " + 
                      item.components.city_name  );

}
