Learning Silverlight 2 Series (16): JSON for data and communication

This article will briefly describe the support for JSON in Silverlight 2.

public class Post
{
　　public int Id { get; set; }
　　public string Title { get; set; }
　　public string Author { get; set; }
}
public class Blog
{
　　public List<Post> Posts { get; set; }
}
