                   ]
                }
             ]
          ]
       }
    ]

2) my c# code is

XmlDocument doc = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(str);

Getting following error:

Error:--XmlNodeConverter can only convert JSON that begins with an object.

i tried to little edit in json like remove [] for question element. but not worked.

According to the Mitchell Skurnik's comment, you can use JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(JSONString, "root");.

If your data is an array then you need to do something like this: JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode("{"Row":" + json + "}", "root").ToXmlString() otherwise you will get a "XmlNodeConverter can only convert JSON that begins with an object." exception.

<pre> public static string GetXMLFromJson(string jsonString)
        {
             string parentNote="Person";
            XDocument doc = (XDocument)JsonConvert.DeserializeXNode("{\""+ parentNote + "\":" + json + "}", "DocumentElement");
            return doc.ToString();
        } </pre>

This works when there is only one value in an array. This does not support multiple arrays on the parent node.
