I have got a nested JSON which needs to be converted in to a dictionary. I'm getting an error as follows.

Error converting value "12345" to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2[System.String,System.String]'. Path 'requestId', line 2, position 24.

This is the code i have tried.

public static void LoadJson()

 using (StreamReader r = new StreamReader("D:SampleJson.json"))
 
 string json = r.ReadToEnd(); 
 var mergeCollection =
 JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IDictionary<string, IDictionary<string, string>>>(json);

 

The JSON string is

 "requestId": "12345",

And the class file is generated as follows
