Parse JSON object in C# using Json.NET

Suppose we have a JSON as under

{
  "Employees": {
    "Employee": [
      {
        "DeptName": "Software",
        "EmployeeName": "Niladri",
	"Gender":"Male"
      },
      {
        "DeptName": "Finance",
        "EmployeeName": "Arina",
	"Gender":"Female"
      },
      {
        "DeptName": "Doctor",
        "EmployeeName": "Babai",
	"Gender":"Female"
      },
      {
        "DeptName": "Article Authors",
        "EmployeeName": "RNA Team",
	"Gender":"Male"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The objective is to parse the JSON in C# using Json.NET

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Dynamic;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            try
            {
                var empObj = new List<ExpandoObject>();
                var empJSONSource = "{'Employees': {'Employee': [{'DeptName':'Software','EmployeeName':'Niladri','Gender':'Male'},{'DeptName':'Finance','EmployeeName':'Arina','Gender':'Female'},    {'DeptName': 'Doctor','EmployeeName': 'Babai','Gender':'Female'},{'DeptName':'Article Authors','EmployeeName': 'RNA Team','Gender':'Male'}]}}";
                dynamic employeeInfo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(empJSONSource);

                var countRecord = employeeInfo.Employees.Employee.Count;

                for (var i = 0; i < countRecord; i++)
                {
                    dynamic expandoObj = new ExpandoObject();                    
                    expandoObj.EmployeeName = Convert.ToString(employeeInfo.Employees.Employee[i].EmployeeName);
                    expandoObj.DeptartmentName = Convert.ToString(employeeInfo.Employees.Employee[i].DeptName);
                    expandoObj.Gender = Convert.ToString(employeeInfo.Employees.Employee[i].Gender);
                    empObj.Add(expandoObj);
                }

                //print the result
                foreach (dynamic e in empObj)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Employee {0} who is {1} belongs to Department {2}", e.EmployeeName,e.Gender, e.DeptartmentName);
                }

                Console.ReadKey();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }            
        }        
    }
}

We are converting the empJSONSource string into an object by using the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject method, then looping through the record count and preparing the List<ExpandoObject>. Finally by using a Foreach Loop, we are looping through teh collection and displaying the records.
