title: Parse string with square brackets to json
body: <p>I would like to parse this string to Json:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String str="[{\"property\":\"insert_date\",\"direction\":\"ASC\"}]"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried with this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dynamic myObject=Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(str)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it returns some JArray.
  I would like to read values simple like: </p>
  
  <pre><code>String dir=myObject.direction;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>One option is to parse string and remove square object from string. Than it would work. But i would like to do it on more proper way.</p>
