Deserialize JSON in C# without creating a class [duplicate]

Question

I'm looking for a way to deserialize a string coming from an API. The Json string is just : {"key" : "lolo"}.

I dont want to create a class for this. I have found this but it's kind of old so I don't know if there is something better today: Json deserialize

In the future I will use more Json deserialization so I would like to use JSON.NET. Thanks.

Thanks, but in the top right corner, the examples. He create a Movie class. And I don't want to create a class for one value.

You can also deserialize to dictionaries: JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>("{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }")

@null This should be a part of the answer as it is the main argument why using netwonsofts library would work.

Use dynamic datatype. like - dynamic obj = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result.ToString());
