Json – How to parse a dynamic string to find key-value pairs in it

I have a data packet in following JSON format.

[{"C74": "123"}, {"C75": "32"}, {"C76": "11"}, {"C78": "15"}]

Is it possible to parse in following C# model?

{
   string key { get; set; }
   string value { get; set; }
}

    your string is not a Dictionary it’s a Dictionary[]

    So you have to deserialize it that way and convert it into your desired format.

    string input = "[{"C74": "123"}, {"C75": "32"}, {"C76": "11"}, {"C78": "15"}]";
Dictionary<string, string>[] temp = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>[]>(input);
Dictionary<string, string> result = temp.Select(x => x.First()).ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value);

    Yes, you can parse it to a List, for example

    List<Item> items = JArray.Parse(json)
                         .SelectMany(ja => ((JObject)ja).Properties()
                         .Select(x => new Item { key = x.Name, 
                                                 value = (string)x.Value })
                         ).ToList();

public class Item
{
    public string key { get; set; }
    public string value { get; set; }
}
