Your json isn't an array so JArray.Parse isn't going to work. Use JObject.Parse instead and change the rest of the code as necessary.

I tried to get the encrypyedRequestKeyData and encryptedRequestData json string as below:

But getting object reference issue.
string jsonString = objApi.ReqAPI;
var details = JObject.Parse(jsonString);

objApi.encryptedRequestKeyData = details["encrypyedRequestKeyData"].ToString();
objApi.encryptedRequestData = details["encryptedRequestData"].ToString();

My json string is as below:

Your json only has one property, webServiceRequest. That property is an object with two properties itself, entityDetails and requestDetails. Then inside requestDetails are the properties you want to access. As the json is a tree structure you have to go down the hierarchy to find the data. So get the root webServiceRequest property, then from that get requestDetails, then from that get the properties you want. Just doing

details["encrypyedRequestKeyData"]

isn't going to scan the entire object looking for a property with that name. google "c# traverse nested json" for examples of how to do this.

I passed the encrypted request data and encrypted request key data in asp.net with c#. But while decrypting a json string I am getting as below: There are characters like \u003e,\u003c which is to coming for xml characters

One hint: You need to replace some characters too. :)

A good hint: Please use a library that handles this, unless you really know what you are doing.
