Yes, you can do it with REGEX

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

var jsonString = "{\"Company\": [\"BMW\", \"Mercedes\"], \"Year\":[\"2011\",\"2014\"], \"request_id\":\"4\"}";
var regexPattern = @"""Company"":\s\[(""\w+"".\s?)+";
Regex.Match(jsonString, regexPattern)
//Result => ["Company": ["BMW", "Mercedes"]]

Regex.Match(jsonString, regexPattern).Groups[1]
//["BMW", "Mercedes"]]

terrible idea to parse json with regex

Alberto Monteiro Over a year ago

@FᴀʀʜᴀɴAɴᴀᴍ He want to parse it without JSON.NET, so the best option in this case is Regex

Btw @FᴀʀʜᴀɴAɴᴀᴍ terrible ideia is to downvote the answer because you want to use something that the OP wont.

There are two downvotes. So someone other than me (whom you consider ...) too doesn't like your answer.

If you absolutely cannot use any existing JSON parser, the best course of action would be to write your own. The grammar is quite simple, and it wouldn't be too difficult to make a bug free one.
