I would like to know , how we can parse a JSON data which is received from a rest web service. The sample JSON data is given here {"success":true, userName:true}

I propose you to build classes of your json or else you could go to this site and generate the classes.

a sample snippet would be like this:

public class RootObject
{
public Response response { get; set; }
}

public class Response
{
public int errorFlag { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("Score Detail")]
public JObject ScoreDetail { get; set; }
}

Json.NET makes this sort of thing super easy - https://www.nuget.org/packages/newtonsoft.json/

Lots of easy to follow examples here - http://james.newtonking.com/json/help/index.html

If you are using visual studio 2013, you can directly generate the de-serialized class using the "paste as json" feature. You can then parse the json using this code

        public T GetObject(string json)
        {
            DataContractJsonSerializer jsonParser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
            var obj = jsonParser.ReadObject(stream);
            return (T)obj;
        }
