Generate C# classes from JSON
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; }
}Copy a valid JSON to the clipboard — this can be the whole text of a JSON file or one or more objects in the JSON format. If you copy a part of JSON file, make sure that the copy is a valid JSON that starts and ends with
{...}or[...]on the same level.Place the caret in a C# file where class declarations are allowed.
Press Ctrl0Q or choose Help | Find Action from the main menu. In the popup that opens, start typing
Paste Special: JSON as Classes, select the corresponding item and press Enter.
