How can i parse this json without class in c#. I don't know what to use either an array or anything else.

    "status": 200,
    "message": "SUCCESS",
    "response": {
        "message": "Device Registered",

Read about `JObject`. That's what you need. https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Linq_JObject.htm — ravi kumar, Oct 24 '19 at 06:28
If you just need one value, do as suggested, if you are trying to save time and code, then just deserialize it to a concrete class (to actually save time and code for-reals) — TheGeneral, Oct 24 '19 at 06:29
I agree with @TheGeneral, generate class for your JSON data. It will take 5 minutes, but will save you lot of time in future. — Aleksej Vasinov, Oct 24 '19 at 06:49

Thx everyone, i just figure it out my self. This is what i do.

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

public async Task<string> CheckDevice(string id)
        {
            var uri = new Uri(string.Format(Constant.CheckDevicesRegistration + "id=" + id, string.Empty));

            try
            {
                var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                    var jsonData = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);

                    var message = jsonData["response"]["message"].Value<string>();

                    resultService = message;
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                resultService = "Connection-Error";
            }
            return resultService;
        }

You can use dynamic instead of creating an object. But dynamic object cost more source than a normal class. If you have performance concern I don't recommend you; if not here you go:

  string json = @"[
  {
    'Title': 'Json.NET is awesome!',
    'Author': {
      'Name': 'James Newton-King',
      'Twitter': '@JamesNK',
      'Picture': '/jamesnk.png'
    },
    'Date': '2013-01-23T19:30:00',
    'BodyHtml': '&lt;h3&gt;Title!&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;Content!&lt;/p&gt;'
  }
]";

dynamic blogPosts = JArray.Parse(json);

dynamic blogPost = blogPosts[0];

string title = blogPost.Title;

Console.WriteLine(title);
// Json.NET is awesome!

string author = blogPost.Author.Name;

Console.WriteLine(author);
// James Newton-King

DateTime postDate = blogPost.Date;

Console.WriteLine(postDate);
// 23/01/2013 7:30:00 p.m.

You can use Json.NET https://www.newtonsoft.com/json

Documentation is here

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SerializingJSON.htm

Short explanation:

For Serialize(object to string):

string text = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object);

For Deserialize(string to object)

var jsonobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonstring);

If you want to Deserialize Anonymous type, you can use this documentation, it's quite simple

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/DeserializeAnonymousType.htm

You can use use JObject to parse json

    dynamic response = JObject.Parse(jsonString);
    success   = response ?.success;

This is irrelevant, because question was specifically without creating a class – HariHaran Oct 24 '19 at 07:05
