I have to accept the json response in below format which can have many "fields" in the string array. What would be the simplest way to parse this in a loop where I can extract "fieldvalues" and do some operations on them?

 
 "fields":
 [
 "/field1/field1value/field2/field2value/field3/field3value",
 "/field1/field1value/field2/field2value/field3/field3value"
 ]
 

If you just need to parse the JSON and iterate over the strings in the fields array, you can do that like this:

JObject obj = JObject.Parse(json);
foreach (var path in obj["fields"].Values<string>())

 Console.WriteLine(path);

If you need to break down the strings into name-value pairs, you can split on / and loop over the parts like this (inside the previous loop):

 string parts = path.Split('/');
 for (var i = 1; i < parts.Length; i += 2)
 
 var name = parts[i];
 var value = (i + 1 < parts.Length) ? parts[i + 1] : null;

 Console.WriteLine(name + ": " + value);
 

See fiddle here: https://dotnetfiddle.net/TupvAu

You can parse that Json and obtain the single lines of data in this way

// As an example for your input data.....
string json = ""fields":["/field1/field1value/field2/field2value/field3/field3value","/field1/field1value/field2/field2value/field3/field3value"]";

// Json.NET JObject.Parse
var lines = JObject.Parse(json);
// Remove comment with LinqPad 
// lines.GetType().Dump();
// Not really needed to explicitly use the Properties method...
foreach (var x in lines.Properties())

 // Remove comment with LinqPad 
 // x.GetType().Dump();
 foreach (var k in x.Value)
 
 // Remove comment with LinqPad 
 // k.GetType().Dump();
 string dataLine = k.Value<string>();
 Console.WriteLine(dataLine);
 

I suggest to try this code with LinqPad using the Dump method on the variables lines, x and k to understand the inner structure of that JObject returned by Parse.
