To deserialize json in c#, you need to use any plugin for working in json, as a newtonsoft
option. If you need to not just go over json, but also create classes, then there are services such as json2csharp
to automate this action. Here is the result from your json

public class Friend
{
    public string steamid { get; set; }
    public string relationship { get; set; }
    public int friend_since { get; set; }
}

public class Friendslist
{
    public List<Friend> friends { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public Friendslist friendslist { get; set; }
}
