JSON to C# Converter
Generate System.Text.Json-friendly C# DTOs from sample JSON when your .NET app needs serializer-aware models for APIs, jobs, or typed client code.
How to use
Paste a representative JSON payload that matches the request or response contracts your .NET code actually consumes.
Review the generated C# classes, `JsonPropertyName` attributes, and nested DTO structure for inferred field types.
Copy the output into your ASP.NET or client project and refine namespaces, nullability, or validation attributes as needed.
Benefits
Produces serializer-aware C# DTOs that fit System.Text.Json workflows out of the box.
Keeps nested payloads in typed classes instead of dictionaries and ad hoc mapping code.
Speeds up API contract scaffolding for ASP.NET backends and typed .NET clients.
Best use cases
ASP.NET APIs that want request and response DTO scaffolding from real payload examples.
.NET integration clients that rely on System.Text.Json naming attributes and reusable transport models.
Teams moving JSON-heavy jobs or background workers from dynamic parsing into typed classes.
C# DTO tips
Use this route when your project standardizes on System.Text.Json rather than handwritten mapping models.
Review nullable reference types and collection defaults before wiring generated DTOs into production endpoints.
Add validation, records, or namespace conventions after the first scaffold is generated.
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
Why use the C# route instead of the Go or Java generators? Choose the C# route when your target codebase is .NET and you want System.Text.Json-friendly DTOs with serializer-aware property attributes.
Does the C# route support nested arrays and child objects? Yes. Nested objects and arrays are expanded into dedicated C# classes and typed collection properties based on the sample JSON payload.
