JSON to C# Converter

Convert JSON to C# models with nested structure support for fast code generation.

How to use

  1. Paste JSON input from your API payload or sample document.
  2. Select your output target and model options.
  3. Generate, review, and copy the result.

Benefits

  • Handles nested objects and arrays from API responses.
  • Reduces manual model writing and naming inconsistencies.
  • Works instantly in browser with copy-ready output.

Best use cases

  • Generate C# models for ASP.NET APIs and clients.
  • Bootstrap DTO classes for serialization and validation layers.
  • Reduce repetitive class scaffolding for nested JSON responses.

Type mapping notes

  • Properties are generated from inferred JSON object fields.
  • Nested JSON objects become nested class types.
  • Collections map to generic list-like structures based on sample arrays.

Implementation tips

  • Review nullable settings when APIs return partial data.
  • Align naming with your serialization strategy before production use.
  • Keep generated DTOs in a dedicated contracts namespace.

Sample JSON

{
  "id": 101,
  "name": "Ada Lovelace",
  "active": true,
  "roles": ["admin", "editor"],
  "profile": {
    "email": "ada@example.com",
    "score": 9.8
  }
}

Sample output

public class UserModel
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
  public bool Active { get; set; }
  public List<string> Roles { get; set; } = new();
}

FAQ

Can I generate nested models from JSON?

Yes. The generator supports nested objects and arrays and outputs corresponding nested model definitions.

Can I force generated fields to optional?

Yes. Use the Force Optional toggle in the app toolbar when you need optional fields in the generated output.

Can I use generated classes with System.Text.Json?

Yes. Generated classes are suitable as DTO bases and can be adapted for your serializer attributes and conventions.
