❔ Reading from a JSON file

I have a JSON file in the following format

{
  "type" : {
    "path" : "filename",
    "path2" : "filename",
  },
  "type2" : {
    "path" : "filename"
    }
  }
}

{
  "type" : {
    "path" : "filename",
    "path2" : "filename",
  },
  "type2" : {
    "path" : "filename"
    }
  }
}

where I don't know how many types I have or how many paths per type. How would I go about reading and storing this in C#?

❔ Passing data from a web page to a ""singleton"" C# desktop application

So, let's say I have a web page that has a button that opens my C# application (through a url protocol in the registry), through which it might receive some parameters. However, I also want it so that if I have an instance of my C# application open, clicking the button will instead send those parameters to the already-open application, rather than starting a new instance of it. How would I go about doing this? ------ Currently, I have it so that my program maintains a named mutex, and if that named mutex is owned by another process, then there is a previous instance of my program running, and the current instance aborts.
