JSON to classes c#

Devendra Kumar

I am working on a ASP web application in which I have to work with JSON file format, as JSON flie is little bit larger, so its difficult to read the key part, is there any efficient way to read the key and value part seperately or it could be better if I can convert it to classes.

Please suggest.

Hey Devendra
If I understood your question correctly, do you want your JSON data to be converted into key and values?

This can be done easily by using JSON.net
DataTable dt = (DataTable)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, (typeof(DataTable)));
You need to install JSON.net from the nuget package
or if you want to transform your JSON to generate class, then Goto Edit in VS -> Paste Special -> JSON to class

This command will generate a class according to your JSON format.

Hope it helps :)

You can use Newtonsoft.Json;

using Newtonsoft.Json;

public class PatientLabelReportDTO
{
public string PatientId { get; set; }
public string ResourceId { get; set; }
}
here patientLabelReportDTO comes in JSON format which is to be converting to class PatientLabelReportDTO instance

PatientLabelReportDTO obj = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(patientLabelReportDTO);

I guess you are better of taking the classes path. All other paths will lead to more efforts than required.
