The above answers helped me come up with this solution. I am receiving json with name/value pairs. {"p1":7514,"p2":3412, "p3":"joe smith" ... }

[OperationBehavior(Impersonation = ImpersonationOption.Allowed)]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, 
        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json
        )]

public Stream getJsonRequest()
    {

        // Get the raw json POST content.  .Net has this in XML string..
        string JSONstring = OperationContext.Current.RequestContext.RequestMessage.ToString();

        // Parse the XML string into a XML document
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.LoadXml(JSONstring);

        foreach (XmlNode node in doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
        {
                node.Name // has key
                node.InnerText;  // has value
