Consuming a JSON REST result in C# .NET

Yesterday I wrote about an Simple API server for IP Address Information Lookup that I had created in Node.js. This server produces a JSON result that looks like this for IP address 8.8.8.8:

{
   "city":{
      "geoname_id":5375480,
      "names":{
         "en":"Mountain View",
         ...
      }
   },
   "continent":{
      "code":"NA",
      "geoname_id":6255149,
      "names":{
         "de":"Nordamerika",
         "en":"North America",
         ...
      }
   },
   "country":{
      "geoname_id":6252001,
      "iso_code":"US",
      "names":{
         "en":"United States",
         ...
      }
   },
   "location":{
      "latitude":37.386,
      "longitude":-122.0838,
      "metro_code":807,
      "time_zone":"America/Los_Angeles"
   },
   "postal":{
      "code":"94040"
   },
   "registered_country":{
      "geoname_id":6252001,
      "iso_code":"US",
      "names":{
         "en":"United States",
         ...
      }
   },
   "subdivisions":[
      {
         "geoname_id":5332921,
         "iso_code":"CA",
         "names":{
            "en":"California",
            ...
         }
      }
   ]
}

I wanted to consume this end-point in a C# application. A quick search for solutions on how to consume a JSON result from a REST service showed some very complicated ways of doing this. This is a simple solution that I came up with:

// A simple C# class to get the details of an IP address
public class IpApi
{
    public IPInfo GetIPInfo(string ip)
    {
        // Create the URL for the REST endpoint
        string url = "http://localhost:3000/ip/" + ip;
        // Create a .Net WebClient object
        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        // Get the string result from the REST endpoint
        string json = wc.DownloadString(url);
        // Use Newtonsoft JsonConvert class and its static
        // DeserializeObject method to parse the string into
        // a .Net object
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IPInfo>(json);
    }
}
// The following classes create the JSON object graph hierarchy
// in static classes. It's a bit tedious looking at the JSON
// object and typing these out. I'd imagine that if you're 
// doing this a lot you could write a tool to generate these
// classes using the JSON as input. Or perhaps there's already
// a tool that does this?
public class Names
{
    // I didn't need the pt-BR and zh-CN key/values from the
    // names so I didn't bother looking up how JsonCovert maps
    // those. 
    public string de, en, fr, ja, ru;
}
public class City
{
    public Names names;
    public int geoname_id;
}
public class Continent
{
    public string code;
    public Names names;
    public int geoname_id;
}
public class Country
{
    public string iso_code;
    public Names names;
    public int geoname_id;
}
public class Location
{
    public decimal latitude;
    public decimal longitude;
    public int metro_code;
    public string time_zone;
}
public class Postal
{
    public string code;
}

public class IPInfo
{
    public City city;
    public Continent continent;
    public Country country;
    public Location location;
    public Postal postal;
    public Country registered_country;
    public Country[] subdivisions;
}
