You can do this easily using JSON.net. Here's an example:

    List<Dictionary<String, Object>> Details = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>
    {
        new Dictionary<string,object>
        {
            {"abc" , "def"},
            {"123", 234}
        },
        new Dictionary<string,object>
        {
            {"abc1" , "def1"},
            {"1231", 2341}
        }
    };

        // serializing to: [{"abc":"def","123":234},{"abc1":"def1","1231":2341}]
        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Details);

        // de-serializing to a new List<Dictionary<String, Object>>.
        List<Dictionary<String, Object>> newDic = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Dictionary<String, Object>>>(json);
