One way to deserialize this, using Newtonsoft.Json Nuget package, is like this:

var deserializedObject = 
    Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(File.ReadAllText("data.txt"));

var errorCodeValue = deserializedObject.ErrorCode;

Another way can be to use splits and loops but it will be tricky when you have collections...
