I have used Newtonsoft JSON.NET (Documentation) It allows you to create a class / object, populate the fields, and serialize as JSON.

public class ReturnData  {     public int totalCount { get; set; }     public List<ExceptionReport> reports { get; set; }   }  public class ExceptionReport {     public int reportId { get; set; }     public string message { get; set; }   }   string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myReturnData);
