I am trying to get json schema from c# class file which has multiple classes.
I generated the c# class file (*.cs file) using xsd.exe and providing xml schema files (xsd files) (since main xsd has 2 imports so, has to give 2 other xsd files in same line in xsd.exe command)
ie, command to generate c# class file using xsd files
C:\Users\user1\jsonschema>xsd.exe /c main_1.xsd imported_1.xsd xml.xsd /o:C:\Users\user1\jsonschema\output\
Microsoft (R) Xml Schemas/DataTypes support utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 2.0.50727.3038]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Writing file 'C:\Users\user1\jsonschema\output\main_1_xml.cs'.
In main_1_xml.cs file, i can see multiple classes definition, now I need to convert this c# into json schema. I don't know how to do this part. Ideally am looking for one jsonschema outfile.
I admit am newbie c# so, don't know much of classes/serialization or other logic which converts c# classes into json format/schema.
Any help much appreciated.
[Edited: As per Zohar suggestion to inculde more details]
Basically have xsd file and using xsd.exe am generating c# class file. This class file has multiple sub classes/paritial class definitions. Now am trying to get this class definition into json schema format.
here is the c# class file content (have morethan 170 sub/parital classes definitions but simplicity kept only 2 :
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
//
// This source code was auto-generated by xsd, Version=2.0.50727.3038.
//
Filename : Program.cs
class Program // I have manually added this class and next line opening bracket for main class "Program"
