deserialize json into list of anonymous type

Question

I have a json as below :

  "[{"a":"b","c":"d"},{"a":"e","c":"f"},{"a":"g","c":"h"}]"

now I want to deserilize this into a list of objects of anonymous type "foo"

  var foo=new { a=string.empty , c=string.empty };

the code is :

  ServiceStackJsonSerializer Jserializer = new ServiceStackJsonSerializer();
  dynamic foos = Jserializer.Deserialize>(jsonString);

but not working .

update :

replacing ServiceStack with JavascriptSerializer and passing dictionary[] solved the problem without need to anonymous Type

        JavaScriptSerializer jSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        var Foos = jSerializer.Deserialize[]>(jsonString);

The below example can deserialize JSON to a list of anonymous objects using NewtonSoft.Json's DeserializeAnonymousType method.

var json = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\TestJSONFiles\yourJSONFile.json");
var fooDefinition = new { a = "", b = 0 }; // type with fields of string, int
var fooListDefinition = Enumerable.Range(0, 0).Select(e => fooDefinition).ToList();

var foos = JsonConvert.DeserializeAnonymousType(json, fooListDefinition);

deserialize json into list of anonymous type
