JObjects can be enumerated via JProperty objects by casting it to a JToken:

foreach (JProperty x in (JToken)obj) { // if 'obj' is a JObject
    string name = x.Name;
    JToken value = x.Value;
}

If you have a nested JObject inside of another JObject, you don't need to cast because the accessor will return a JToken:

foreach (JProperty x in obj["otherObject"]) { // Where 'obj' and 'obj["otherObject"]' are both JObjects
    string name = x.Name;
    JToken value = x.Value;
}

For people like me  linq addicts  and based on  svick s answer  here a linq approach   using System Linq          make it linq iterable   var obj linq   Response Cast lt KeyValuePair lt string  JToken gt  gt       Now you can make linq expressions like   JToken x   obj linq            Where  d   gt  d Key     my key              Select v   gt  v             FirstOrDefault              Value  string y     JValue x  Value    Or just   var y   obj linq         Where d   gt  d Key     my key           Select v   gt    JValue v Value  Value          FirstOrDefault      Or this one to iterate over all data   obj linq ToList   ForEach  x   gt    do stuff

If you look at the documentation for JObject  you will see that it implements IEnumerable lt KeyValuePair lt string  JToken gt  gt   So  you can iterate over it simply using a foreach   foreach  var x in obj        string name   x Key      JToken value   x Value
