Thanks for the quick response.
I am using JSON .Net.
A correction in what I meant, sorry about that. While I am able to deserialize it, I am
not able to access the property post deserialization. I am using C# dynamic object to
store the deserialized response and trying to access the property with *
Normally, I am able to access a property using object.PropertyName. Just after I sent the
email, I accessed the property using object["*"] instead of object.* and that
worked.

What JSON library are you using? Any decent library will handle it.

&action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content|ids&pageids=7412236 I get the
below with one of the properties as a *. Is it possible to get with a name like say
content instead of the *. I am not able to de-serialize the response.
