It looks like json so you could use some json methods. Or just parse it using string methods.

You have a JSON string there. You can follow this article to read it: http://aspdotnet.hotinit.com/2012/01/get-json-data-from-url.html[^] and than you have to choose how to process the string. I suggest you consult following article for a comparison of JSON libraries: fastJSON[^] - and of course, a good one to use for deserialization. If you have deserialized it to a collection of objects, you can simply query that with linq. This is also one interesting approach: http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json/help/index.html?topic=html/LINQtoJSON.htm[^]
