run the scripts in Package Manager Console :

Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json

after that use this syntax :

List<type> list = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<type>>(json string)

Do I have to create the type for myself? – Juri.B Jun 14 '17 at 07:24
@Juri.B the type refer to your sample datetype that you want to convert json to it. – Parsa Karami Jun 14 '17 at 07:25
I don't have a sample datetype atm so I have to create it right? – Juri.B Jun 14 '17 at 07:26

@ParsaKarami Any reason to use `Newtonsoft.Json` over .net's own [`System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.script.serialization.javascriptserializer(v=vs.110).aspx)? – Ivar Jun 14 '17 at 07:32
@Juri.B support async and await for operation and prepare some facilities – Parsa Karami Jun 14 '17 at 08:20
