Using System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavascriptSerializer to deserialize JSON - how to?

Question

Note: I posted a similar question, which was the ancestor of this question, as I was originally thinking of using JSON.NET to parse the JSON, but I\'m using the built-in

Answer 1

I tried with your example json / class, and the following works fine:

List<Item> items = ser.Deserialize<List<Item>>(json);

Is the actual code any different?

(where json is the string - feel free to replace by ReadToEnd etc; or use WebClient.DownloadString, which is simpler)
