LitJSON
A .Net library to handle conversions from and to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) strings.
It's quick and lean, without external dependencies. Just a few classes so easily embeddable in your own code or a very small assembly to ship with your code. The code is highly portable, which in general makes it easy to adapt for new platforms.
