Deserialize JSON with numbers as property names

Question

I have JSON like this:

{"rows":
    {
        "1":{"rowNumber":1,"productID":"100"},
        "2":{"rowNumber":2,"productID":"101"},
        "3":{"rowNumber":3,"productID":"102"}
    }
}

I need to build domain model.

For example:

class Row 
{
    public int rowNumber{get; set;}
    public string productID{get; set;}
}

Root object

class RootObject
{
   public ? ? rows {get; set;}
}

What kind of type have to be rows propperty?

What do you mean by 'with digits as type'? your question is not clear — yonisha, Apr 11 '17 at 16:49
Make your `"rows"` property be a `Dictionary`. See [Create a strongly typed c# object from json object with ID as the name](http://stackoverflow.com/q/34213566/3744182) and [How can I parse a JSON string that would cause illegal C# identifiers?](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24536564/3744182). — dbc, Apr 11 '17 at 17:24

The answer is

public Dictionary<int, Row> rows { get; set; }

and use

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);

for deserialization. Where JsonConvert is from Newtonsoft library.

Seems like you are looking for either int type or int32 type:

//Assumes you are using Newtonsoft JSON Nuget Package

List<int> products = null;

products = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<int>>(json);

Should work - but all code you find on StackOverflow should be looked at as pseudo code. this should at least point you in the right direction. Hope it helped!

your question is not clear,But this can be useful

public class Account
{
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public bool Active { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    public IList<string> Roles { get; set; }
};
string json = @"{
   'Email': 'james@example.com',
   'Active': true,
   'CreatedDate': '2013-01-20T00:00:00Z',
  'Roles': [
     'User',
     'Admin'
   ]
 }";

Account account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Account>(json);

Console.WriteLine(account.Email);
