Parse json string using json.net?

Question

I have a string like the following in C#. I tried with JSON.NET but couldn't figure out how to retrieve the value.

"{[{'Name':'AAA','Age':'22','Job':'PPP'},
{'Name':'BBB','Age':'25','Job':'QQQ'},
{'Name':'CCC','Age':'38','Job':'RRR'}]}";

I would like

foreach (user in users){
 Messagebox.show(user.Name,user.Age)
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

• M.Babcock: Have you read the documentation for the library or tried anything yourself? There are a dozen or so tutorials online that should be able to help you get started.
• Glenn Ferrie: Note: My code sample below removes the extra braces (present in the question text) that surround the array. they cause the deserialize operation to fail.
• yiqun: @M.Babcock Yes.I try to use Dataset in json.net but there is no root in my json string.I google examples them always with root.

Here is a code sample:

class Program
{
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 var text = @"[{'Name':'AAA','Age':'22','Job':'PPP'},
 {'Name':'BBB','Age':'25','Job':'QQQ'},
 {'Name':'CCC','Age':'38','Job':'RRR'}]";
 dynamic data = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(text);
 for (var i = 0; i < data.Count; i++)
 {
 dynamic item = data[i];
 Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}, Age: {1}", (string)item.Name, (string)item.Age);
 }
 Console.ReadLine();
 }
}

I downloaded Json.Net through NuGet, but otherwise this is a standard .NET 4.0 Console App
