HttpRequest - POST request, response in C#

Question

Hello,

I need to port a C++ application to C#
C++ code is below.
How do I get this into C#

Request, response

How can I create classes objects?
How can I analyze the answer easily?
Which class/assembly offers itself there in C#?

Json::Value Food::SendScanResults(std::vector<std::string> serials, std::string date)
{
    HttpRequest::parameters params;
    params.port           = atoi(m_config.port.c_str());
    params.httpVer        = "HTTP/1.1";
    params.host           = m_config.host;
    params.method         = "POST";
    params.path           = m_config.function_path;
    params.accept_version = m_config.version;

    Json::Value json_body;
    json_body["currentDate"] = date;
    json_body["serialNumber"];

    for(int i = 0; i < serials.size(); i++)
    {
        json_body["serialNumber"][i] = serials[i];
    }

    Json::FastWriter fw;
    std::string query = fw.write(json_body);
    if(query.at(query.length()-1) == '\n')
    {
        query.pop_back();
    }

    params.query = query;



    HttpRequest req(params);
    if(!req.send())
    {
        Log("http request failed.");
    }
    std::string response (req.getAnswer());

    Log("Response: " + CString(response.c_str()));

    Json::Value j_response;
    Json::Reader j_reader;
    if(!j_reader.parse(response, j_response))
    {
        j_response = Json::nullValue;
        WriteLog("Error response...");
    }

    if(response.empty())
    {
        j_response["foodData"]["code"] = -1;
        j_response["foodData"]["message"] = response;
        j_response["data"] = "";
    }

    return j_response;
}

Many thanks for your help.

The defacto in .NET is to use HTTPClient. There are plenty of examles using HTTLClient doing a post/response action with Jason data out on Bing and Google.
