C# Serialize JSON to simple Dictionary<string,string>

Question

I have following json:

{
    "Name" : "Value1",
    "Data": [
        {
            "UserName": "test",
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "UserInformation": {
                "City": "city",
                "country:": "country"
            }
        },        
        {
            "UserName": "test1",
            "email": "[email protected]"
        }
    ]
}

I want get next dictionary:

{
    "Name" : "Value1",
    "Data[0].UserName": "test",
    "Data[0].email": "[email protected]",
    "Data[0].UserInformation.City": "city",
    "Data[0].UserInformation.country": "country",
    "Data[1].UserName": "test1",
    "Data[1].email": "[email protected]"
}

Using Newtonsoft.Json don't help resolving my problem. Please, can you help me?

That's some odd requirement. Have you seen json2csharp? This site can convert your JSON to C# classes which you can use to deserialize your JSON. — user5386938

If I understood correctly you are looking for something like this (using Newtonsoft.Json):

var dictionary = JObject.Parse(json)
    .Descendants()
    .OfType<JValue>()
    .ToDictionary(jv => jv.Path, jv => jv.ToString());
