Generate C# classes from JSON

Last modified: 15 November 2022

JetBrains Rider lets you generate C# classes based on existing JSON. For example, from the following JSON object:

{
    "Description": "Remove braces",
    "Scope": "editor",
    "IdeActions": [
        {
            "Ide": "visual_assist",
            "Id": "BracesRemove"
        },
        {
            "Ide": "intellij",
            "Id": "Unwrap"
        }
    ]
}

JetBrains Rider will create classes that describe the structure of this object, which you can then use to read JSON files with the same object structure.

public class RootObject {
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Scope { get; set; }
    public IdeActions[] IdeActions { get; set; }
}

public class IdeActions {
    public string Ide { get; set; }
    public string Id { get; set; }
}
