c# - Parsing JSON Object with variable properties into strongly typed object

Question

{
"Profile": {
    "dProperty1": {
        "a": "value",
        "b": "value",
        "c": "value",
        "d": "value",
        "e": "value"
    },
    "dProperty2": {
        "a": "value",
        "b": "value",
        "d": "value",
        "e": "value"
    },
    "dProperty3": {
        "a": "value",
        "b": "value",
        "d": "value",
        "e": "value"
       }
    }
}

I have a JSON object, which can have any number of dynamic properties. All the properties are objects that consist of mostly of the same fields. How can i parse this JSON into a strongly typed object in C#?

Answer 1

If you must have strongly typed result I would deserialize Profile as a dictionary of superposition of properties

class AbscdeClass
{
    public string A { get; set; }
    public string B { get; set; }
    public string C { get; set; }
    public string D { get; set; }
    public string E { get; set; }
}

class JsonBody
{
    public Dictionary<string, AbscdeClass> Profile { get; set; }
}

and parse original JSON text as

JsonBody json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonBody>(jsonString);
