[
{ "_id" : "BrownHair", "Count" : 1 },
{"_id" : "BlackHair" , "Count" : 5},
{"_id" : "WhiteHair" , "Count" : 15}
]
I would like convert above json to C# POCO Object like below
public class HairColors
{
public int BrownHair { get; set; }
public int BlackHair { get; set; }
public int WhiteHair { get; set; }
}
Mind that I cannot change structures of neither POCO nor JSON.
You can do some custom parsing with JObject https://dotnetfiddle.net/ydvZ3l
string json = "[\r\n { \"_id\" : \"BrownHair\", \"Count\" : 1 },\r\n {\"_id\" : \"BlackHair\" , \"Count\" : 5},\r\n {\"_id\" : \"WhiteHair\" , \"Count\" : 15}\r\n]";
var jobjects = JArray.Parse(json);
foreach(var item in jobjects) {
// Map them here
Console.WriteLine(item["_id"]);
Console.WriteLine(item["Count"]);
}
// Output
//BrownHair
//1
//BlackHair
//5
//WhiteHair
15
_ids to your POCO's Properties ... not beautiful, but should work. @OP
I would use something like this:
public class MyArray {
public string _id { get; set; }
public int Count { get; set; }
}
public class Root {
public List<MyArray> MyArray { get; set; }
}
The usage:
// Root myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(myJsonResponse);
The https://json2csharp.com/ will be your best friend in this case.
