title: How to parse json array in vb.net?
body: <p>I am learning about <strong>JSON</strong> and I want to parse json array and get only one value using <strong>VB.Net</strong>. I found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26229563/vba-getting-values-from-a-collection">QUESTION</a> with answers but <em>I didn't seem to get what I was looking for</em>. According the the questioner, he has this</p>
  
  <pre><code>"links":[
    {
      "rel":"next",
      "href":"www.google.com"
    }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and we can use this to parse json array</p>
  
  <pre><code>   links(1).Item("rel")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or this</p>
  
  <pre><code>links(1)("rel")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What if I only have this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>[{
      "rel":"next",
      "href":"www.google.com"
  }]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How should I code it without the word <strong>links</strong>? I understand that <em>links</em> is the table name, isn't it? I tried so many possibilities which give me more errors. I'd appreciate much if anyone can help me out.</p>
  
  <p><em>P.S. This not a duplicate to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18076744/how-to-parse-json-list-in-vb-net-newtonsoft">this</a> because I am not going to add the information to a DataGridView. What I want here is to parse a field. Get only one result and not the entire list.</em></p>
