Dynamically add fields in json

Question

I have JObject containing dynamic data for example:

{ "person":
  { "name": "myname",
     "city":"myCity",
     "dynamicUserData":{}
  }
}

now based on the city the dynamicUserData should be populated with values from Dictionary. The problem is how to add this dictionary in the dynamicUserData.

code:

var jobject=JObject.Parse(@"{ ""person"":  { ""name"": ""myname"", ""city"":""myCity"",""dynamicUserData"":{}}}");

var dic=new  Dictionary<string, string>();

foreach (var field in someFieldArray)
{
    if (field==something)
      {
        dic.Add(field,somevalue);
      }
}

//now here how can I put these values in dynamicUserData of the JObject?

Are you forced to use the exact JSON format as shown or are you free to format the JSON a bit different (and better to deserialize a dictionary)? — DrKoch

You should be able to achieve this without too much effort. On a JObject you can access a property the same way you would access dynamic objects. So you should be able to update the property using

jobject.person.dynamicUserData = new JObject(dic);

Or on a JObject you can access a property using jobject[key]
