I'm parsing some JSON which looks like this using DataContract. The issue that i have is parsing "ThresholdRules" as dynamic as possible. Keep in mind the objects inside "ThresholdRules" go up to 99 so having a DataMember defined similar to ThresholdGroups and ThresholdSeverities is not an option. I'm also open to use JavaScriptSerializer but via this method i'm not sure how to deal with the entries where the keys are numbers.

If you are using .Net 4.5 or later you can setUseSimpleDictionaryFormat = trueand[DataMember] public Dictionary<string, ThresholdRuleInfo> ThresholdRulesshould just work. (Notice an extra level of class nesting is removed.) See How do deserialize JSON with non-standard (and varying) property names (in .NET) or Any way to make DataContractJsonSerializer serialize Dictionaries properly?. Actually, this may be a duplicate. Agree?
