My JSON string looks like this. Please note that it has escape characters.

string json = "\"{\\\"Status\\\":true,\\\"ID\\\":24501}\"";

When I use the Parse method like below I run into an error stated below:

JObject o = JObject.Parse(json);

Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an object: String

How do I get rid of this error or is there any other method to parse my json string and fetch the values?

Remove first and last quotes:

string json = "{\"Status\":true,\"ID\":24501}";

See the Json format here.

It seems like your object is double encoded. Try:

string json = "{\"Status\":true,\"ID\":24501}";

That json string is what I get from an API. How do I remove the escape characters?\ –  SVI Aug 15 '11 at 21:48
    
@SVI : I'm late to the party but if anybody needs it, just replace them using something like json.Replace("\\\\", "\\") –  SolarBear Sep 24 '12 at 19:23

in here format should be something like this:

string jsonNew = @"{'Status': True,'ID': 24501 }";

You need something like this

json = json.Replace(@"\", string.Empty).Trim(new char[]{'\"'})
