using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
There are four ways:
- Roll your own with a Custom formatter
- Json.NET.
- JavaScriptSerializer
- DataContractJsonSerializer
I recently blogged about how to do Json Serialization.

I've used Json.NET with much success, it's quite nice.

The code that bdukes post did the trick. I will look into your 4 suggestions as well though. Thanks!

All are valid, with more or less hurdles, but I would go with option #2 (Json.NET)
You are going to want to look into JSON serialization. Here is a good article that explains one way to do it (unfortunately the examples are in C#) but with more information we can probalby steer you towards the right toolkit.

The link that you are referring to is dead.
you could try the javascript serializer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.script.serialization.javascriptserializer.aspx) I believe it was deprecated for a while by Microsoft but then un-deprecated (is that a word??) when they wanted to use it in MVC
