Hello friends,

I am trying to Deserialize my jSon data. Output jSon string is as follow :

[
	{
		"id":1
	},
	{
		"id":2,
		"children":
		[
			{
				"id":4,
				"children":[]
			},
			{
				"id":6,
				"children":[]
			},
			{
				"id":3,
				"children":
				[
					{
						"id":5
					}
				]
			},
			{
				"id":8,
				"children":[]
			}
		]
	},
	{
		"id":7
	}
]

Deserializing JSON is just about as hard as deserializing XML, but thankfully there's a library for that[^]. Add the library to your solution (either via NuGet or downloading the DLLs directly) and you'll be able to deserialize JSON objects into C# objects fairly easiliy. There are some class and method decorations you'll have to add but the documentation[^] is really easy to follow and there are pleanty of examples[^] to look through. Once you have deserialized your JSON you can then treat it like any other object or array of objects and manipulate it as such. Serialzing it back if needed is pretty straight forward as well. Good luck!
