I need to connect to an endpoint that serves out JSON via REST interfaces. I can't really find anything that combines these 2 technologies in a coherent manner.

I am looking for a library that will let me get started quickly.

You can use Json.Net library and this extension class that makes use of DynamicObject

Some usage examples:

public static void GoogleGeoCode(string address)
{
    string url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=true&address=";
    dynamic googleResults = new Uri(url + address).GetDynamicJsonObject();

    foreach (var result in googleResults.results)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("[" + result.geometry.location.lat + "," + 
                                result.geometry.location.lng + "] " + 
                                result.formatted_address);
    }
}

public static void GoogleSearch(string keyword)
{
    string url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&rsz=8&q=";
    dynamic googleResults = new Uri(url + keyword).GetDynamicJsonObject();

    foreach (var result in googleResults.responseData.results)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(
            result.titleNoFormatting + "\n" + 
            result.content + "\n" + 
            result.unescapedUrl + "\n");
    }
}

public static void Twitter(string screenName)
{
    string url = "https://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=" + screenName;
    dynamic result = new Uri(url).GetDynamicJsonObject();
    foreach (var entry in result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(entry.name + " " + entry.status.created_at);
    }
}

public static void Wikipedia(string query)
{
    string url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=" + query +"&format=json";
    dynamic result = new Uri(url).GetDynamicJsonObject();

    Console.WriteLine("QUESTION: " + result[0]);
    foreach (var entry in result[1])
    {
        Console.WriteLine("ANSWER: " + entry);
    }
}

EDIT:

Here is another sample without DynamicObject

public static void GoogleSearch2(string keyword)
{
    string url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&rsz=8&q="+keyword;

    using(WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        wc.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
        wc.Headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)";
        string jsonStr = wc.DownloadString(url);
        JObject jObject = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonStr);
        foreach (JObject result in jObject["responseData"]["results"])
        {
            Console.WriteLine(
                result["titleNoFormatting"] + "\n" +
                result["content"] + "\n" +
                result["unescapedUrl"] + "\n");
        }
    }
}

I would take a look at RestSharp. It's very straight forward to get up and running and has an active following.

Getting started guide: https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/wiki

Deserialization: https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/wiki/Deserialization

回答3:

The HttpCLient and the JSONValue Type from the WCF Web API should get you on your way. Download the source and look at the samples. There are many samples for working with JSON on the client. http://wcf.codeplex.com/releases

ServiceStack.Text is probably one of the easiest ways to do this.

Background: ServiceStack.Text is an independent, dependency-free serialization library that contains ServiceStack's text processing functionality

Example

using ServiceStack.Text;

//  Create our arguments object:
object args = new
{
   your = "Some",
   properties = "Other",
   here = "Value",
};

var resultString = fullUrl.PostJsonToUrl(args);
results = resultString.Trim().FromJson<T>();

The PostJsonToUrl and FromJson extension methods are some nice syntactic sugar in my opinion.
