Question

I\'m receiving a JSON string in a MVC4/.NET4 WebApi controller action. The action\'s parameter is dynamic because I don\'t know anything on the receiving end ab

Answer 1

I think this can be a starting point

dynamic dynObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{a:1,b:2}");

//JContainer is the base class
var jObj = (JObject)dynObj;

foreach (JToken token in jObj.Children())
{
    if (token is JProperty)
    {
        var prop = token as JProperty;
        Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", prop.Name, prop.Value);
    }
}

EDIT

this also may help you

var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(jObj.ToString());
