Using JSON.NET to parse JSON generated through PHP

Question

Hello Everyone,

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not finding quite the information I'm needing so I thought I'd post this.

I've written a PHP script that returns a simple JSON object that looks like this:

{"status":"success","level":"admin"}

I'm doing a standard web request that submits the required data to the script over the internet and that's working fine.

Now, I want to use JSON.NET to pull out the individual variables so I can know what the values of "status" and "level" are. The problem is, I have no idea where to start.

I'm doing this in VB.NET (on the .NET Compact Framework). Can anyone help me? I've spent the last 2 hours on Google and can come up with nothing!

Thanks!

i think below code snippet will be useful.

Pasting the content from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb299886.aspx#intro_to_json_topic5

string jsonText = @"[""Europe"", ""Asia"", ""Australia"", ""Antarctica"",
 ""North America"", ""South America"", ""Africa""]";

using (JsonTextReader reader = new JsonTextReader(new StringReader(jsonText)))
{
    while (reader.Read())
    {
        if (reader.TokenClass == JsonTokenClass.String &&
            reader.Text.StartsWith("A"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(reader.Text);
        }
    }
}
