Hi,  
When using a JSON deserialized string, I’d like to access directly one specific element value.  
For instance, if JSON is the following:  
{  
“product”: “Live JSON generator”,  
“id”: 31,  
“releaseDate”: “2014-06-25T00:00:00.000Z”,  
“demo”: true  
}

I know we could use the ForEach Loop as explain in the HowTo… but how to access directly one item when we know the structure ?  
I tried with SelectToken(“id”) but nothing is working so far…

on your parse json object fire **parsed\_json\_data.GetValue(“id”).ToString**.
