Json.NET in Unity throwing 'The type or namespace `Newtonsoft` could not be found'

Question

I used nuget to install Json.NET into my Unity project but the issue is when I launch it throws The type or namespace 'Newtonsoft' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference
Yet it is in my references and I have using Newtonsoft.Json;
I have looked at other questions but I could not an answer which worked. I am using Unity 5 and the latest version of Json.NET

Answer 1

1.In Unity, place the Newtonsoft.Json.dll file into the Assets/Plugins folder

2.In Visual Studio, highlight Analyzers in the in Solution Explorer window.

3.Go to Project-> Add Reference and choose your project directory followed by Assets/Plugin. That's it.

Optional:

In Unity 5.3, Unity added native support of Json serialization. You can simply use that to convert to Json and back to class.
