Deserialize nested JSON into C# objects

Use this this site for representation:

something like this may help you

public class Item322A
{
    public string prop1 { get; set; }
    public string prop2 { get; set; }
    public int prop3 { get; set; }
    public bool prop4 { get; set; }
}

public class Item2B
{
    public string prop1 { get; set; }
    public string prop2 { get; set; }
    public int prop3 { get; set; }
    public bool prop4 { get; set; }
}

public class Items
{
    public List<Item322A> Item322A { get; set; }
    public List<Item2B> Item2B { get; set; }
}

public class jsonObject
{
    public Items Items { get; set; }
    public List<string> Errors { get; set; }
}

Here is how to deserialize (use JsonConvert class):

jsonObject ourlisting = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonObject>(strJSON);

For "Items" use a Dictionary<string, List<Info>>, i.e.:

class Response
{
    public Dictionary<string, List<Info>> Items { get; set; }
    public string[] Errors { get; set; }
}

class Info
{
    public string Prop1 { get; set; }
    public string Prop2 { get; set; }
    public int Prop3 { get; set; }
    public bool Prop4 { get; set; }
}

This assumes that the item names "Item322A" and "Item2B" will vary from response to response, and reads these names in as the dictionary keys.

Sample fiddle.


You could use Json.Parse so that you can query into the data -- and just use the single model.

private class Info
{
    public string Prop1 { get; set; }
    public string Prop2 { get; set; }
    public int Prop3 { get; set; }
    public bool Prop4 { get; set; }
}

var result = JObject.Parse(resultContent);   //parses entire stream into JObject, from which you can use to query the bits you need.
var items = result["Items"].Children().ToList();   //Get the sections you need and save as enumerable (will be in the form of JTokens)

List<Info> infoList = new List<Info>();  //init new list to store the objects.

//iterate through the list and match to an object. If Property names don't match -- you could also map the properties individually. Also useful if you need to dig out nested properties.
foreach(var subItem in items){
foreach(JToken result in subItem){
Info info = result.ToObject<Info>();
infoList.add(info);
}}
