Overview

The JSON to C# Class Converter simplifies .NET development by instantly transforming raw JSON payloads into strongly-typed C# classes. It automatically infers nested types, generates PascalCase properties, applies JsonPropertyName attributes for seamless serialization, and supports nullable properties to match your API specifications.

When to use

When integrating external REST APIs into a .NET application and you need to quickly generate Data Transfer Objects (DTOs).
When modeling complex, deeply nested JSON payloads into structured C# classes without manual typing.
When configuring System.Text.Json serialization with proper property mapping attributes and nullable type safety.

How it works

1Paste your raw JSON payload into the JSON Input field.
2Specify the Root Type Name for your main class and toggle the Nullable Properties option if your API contains optional fields.
3Click convert to generate the C# class structure with PascalCase properties and JsonPropertyName attributes.

Use cases

Generating DTOs for HttpClient API integrations in ASP.NET Core projects.
Creating configuration binding classes for appsettings.json files.
Mapping third-party webhook payloads to strongly-typed C# models.

Examples

1. Generating API Response DTOs

Backend Developer

Background

A developer is integrating a third-party weather API that returns a complex JSON payload with nested coordinates and daily forecasts.

Problem

Manually writing C# classes for a nested 50-line JSON response is tedious and prone to naming mismatches during deserialization.

How to use

Paste the weather API JSON response into the input area, set the Root Type Name to 'WeatherResponse', and enable Nullable Properties.

Root Type Name: WeatherResponse, Nullable Properties: True

Outcome

A set of clean C# classes with PascalCase properties, matching JsonPropertyName attributes, and nullable types for optional fields.

2. Mapping App Configuration Files

DevOps Engineer

Background

An engineer needs to bind a custom JSON configuration file to a strongly-typed options class in a .NET worker service.

Problem

The configuration JSON uses camelCase keys, which need to be mapped to standard C# PascalCase properties without losing binding compatibility.

How to use

FAQ

Does the converter support nested JSON objects?

Yes, it automatically detects nested objects and arrays, generating separate, strongly-typed C# classes for them.

What JSON serializer attributes are generated?

The converter generates JsonPropertyName attributes to map original JSON keys to PascalCase C# properties.

Can I make the generated properties nullable?

Yes, enabling the Nullable Properties option adds the ? modifier to C# types to handle optional JSON fields.

What is the default name of the main generated class?

The default root class name is 'Root', but you can customize this using the Root Type Name configuration field.

Does this tool support C# record types?

The tool generates standard C# classes with properties, which can be easily adapted to records or structs in your codebase.

Root Type Name: AppConfig, Nullable Properties: False
