This is just a quick addendum to a colleague's post about using JSON in .NET.
Original post
See Dan's post here: Google Translate and .NET (Dan Matthews)
Complete example code
This example translates the phrase "a piece of pie" into French using Google Translate. I do not use any processing on the JSON output except to convert it into an XML document that can be processed in .NET:
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
namespace JSON_Example
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(
"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/" +
"services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=" +
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("a piece of pie") +
"&langpair=" + "en" + "%7C" + "fr");
WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
using (Stream s = res.GetResponseStream())
{
XmlDictionaryReader xr =
JsonReaderWriterFactory.CreateJsonReader(
s,
XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max);
doc.Load(xr);
xr.Close();
s.Close();
}
Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

- System.ServiceModel.Web (3.5)
- System.Web (2.0)

- and the other usual suspects
