Answer by FistOfFury for How can I deserialize JSON to a simple Dictionary in ASP.NET?

Based on comments above try JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string,dynamic>>(json)

var json = @"{""key1"":1,""key2"":""value2"", ""object1"":{""property1"":""value1"",""property2"":[2,3,4,5,6,7]}}";var parsedObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string,dynamic>>(json);

seems to work even for complex objects and lists.
