From a .NET assembly (non-web app)... The normal response from Bit.ly is somewhat in the form of below. What is recommended way of consuming that result so that I can easily get the value of the shortUrl field?

I'm working on a REST API. The key objects ("nouns") are "items", and each item has a unique ID. E.g. to get info on the item with ID foo: GET http://api.example.com/v1/item/foo New items can be created, but the client doesn't get to pick the ID. Instead, the client sends some info that represents that item. So to create a new item: P...
