Answer 1

you can use

JavaScriptSerializer for this.

List<Class> list = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<List<Class>>(jsonString);

you need to use

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

Answer 2

I think you can use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<> for that:

var json = File.ReadAllText(yourFileName);
yourDictionary = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(json);
