Deserialize JSON into C# dynamic object?

Is there an approach to deserialize JSON content into a C# 4 dynamic type? It is ideal to skip making a lot of classes to utilize the DataContractJsonSerializer.

It's pretty simple using Json.NET:


dynamic stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{ 'Name': 'Jon Smith', 'Address': { 'City': 'New York', 'State': 'NY' }, 'Age': 42 }");



string name = stuff.Name;

string address = stuff.Address.City;

Also using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq:


dynamic stuff = JObject.Parse("{ 'Name': 'Jon Smith', 'Address': { 'City': 'New York', 'State': 'NY' }, 'Age': 42 }");



string name = stuff.Name;

string address = stuff.Address.City;

.NET 4.0 has a built-in library to do this:
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();

var d = jss.Deserialize<dynamic>(str);

This is the simplest way.
