Json parsing error Unity 5.6

Hi everyone!

I upgraded my project to unity 5.6 and the json parsing function doesn't seem to work anymore:

I get the following error:

InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.

Here is my code:

 //Json string
 string json = @" {""Settings"":{""default_language"":""English""},""Languages"":{""English"":""English"",""French"":""Français""}}";

 //Json data
 JsonData language_config = JsonMapper.ToObject( json ); 
     
 //Language Settings (add all available languages)
 foreach( DictionaryEntry translation in language_config["Languages"] ){
     //Get JSON keys / values
     var translation_key = translation.Key.ToString();// as string;
     var translation_value = translation.Value.ToString();//translation.Value as JsonData;
 }

Tells us nothing. First show us your class that you are trying to get by mapping the object. Second what json framework you are using. Third your json string looks odd.
