I've to verify response coming from a web service as Json with c# Nunit asserts like

C#

Assert.AreEqual(Response.get(PARTICULAR FIELD), "expected value");

The o/p is like

Java

"meta": {
    "code": 200,
    "status": "ok",
    "expires_in": 60578
  },

After you import Json.NET[^] package you can do the following:

C#

dynamic json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(yourJsonAsString)

Then you can preform your asserts

Arrays are of type JArray ( http://james.newtonking.com/json/help/index.html?topic=html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Linq_JArray.htm )
You can access it like:
json.payload[0]._functions.functions[3].Value
