Answer 1

You are looking for a dictionary.

Use this as your class definition:

public class Rootobject
    {
        public Dictionary<string, DataObject> data { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
        public string version { get; set; }
    }
    public class DataObject
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string key { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string title { get; set; }
    }

And this demonstrates that reading your object works:

var vals = @"{

""data"": {
    ""A"": {
        ""id"": 24,
        ""key"": ""key"",
        ""name"": ""name"",
        ""title"": ""title""
    },
    ""B"": {
        ""id"": 37,
        ""key"": ""key"",
        ""name"": ""name"",
        ""title"": ""title""
    },
    ""C"": {
        ""id"": 18,
        ""key"": ""key"",
        ""name"": ""name"",
        ""title"": ""title""
    },
    ""D"": {
        ""id"": 110,
        ""key"": ""key"",
        ""name"": ""name"",
        ""title"": ""title""
    }
  },
""type"": ""type"",
""version"": ""1.0.0""
}";
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Rootobject>(vals);
