vb.net - Loop throught JSON and get all data - json

Question

Has anyone an idea how to loop JSON string and get all data by JSON key? I have very heavy JSON file with arrays in arrays in array.
{
"ID":"33",
"A":a,
"SUB-ID": [
{ "ID":"33"},
{ "A":"b"},
{ "SUB-ID":[] }
]
"ID":"37",
"A":a,
"SUB-ID": [
{ "ID":"38"},
{ "A":"b"},
{ "SUB-ID":[] }
]
"ID":"39",
"A":a,
"SUB-ID": [
{ "ID":"31"},
{ "A":"b"},
{ "SUB-ID":["ID":"30",SUB-ID[...]] } 'And this array in array "Sub-ID" - there may be more below each other
]
}
In Sub-Id can be infinite loop arrays....
This JSON can have lot of sub-arrays... And i need to get list of all IDs.

You do not need to loop through aka manually parse json text to create your object. Go to your nugent packages and download Newtonsoft json and add it to your project.
Now if you have a class written with that object You can now call the following:
Dim myJsonText as string = (your json text)
Dim myJsonObject as new (whatever your object name is)
MyJsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(myJsonText, GetType(yourobjectName))
It will now create your object and now you can assign your object properties like this.
MyJsonObject.ID = 3
MyJsonObject.A=“A”
If you need to convert it back to json text you call the following:
MyJsonText = jsonConvert.SERIALIZEObject(myJsonObject)
