Deserialize numbered items into collection of objects

Question

I am not sure how to correctly ask my question.

I'm facing a problem using JSON.net: The point is, I am receiving this JSON from a webservice. Apparently this thing has never heard of object oriented programming, and my JSON has the following exemplary structure:

"meta": {
"collection_t1_driver_selected_invoiceaccount": "911156",
"collection_t1_scandate": "11 mei 2020",
"collection_t1_scandate-value": "2020-05-11",
"collection_t2_driver_selected_invoiceaccount": "911156",
"collection_t2_scandate": "11 mei 2020",
"collection_t2_scandate-value": "2020-05-11",
"collection_t3_driver_selected_invoiceaccount": "911156",
"collection_t3_scandate": "11 mei 2020",
"collection_t3_scandate-value": "2020-05-11"
}

As you can see there are 3 similar blocks. Is there any way to serialize this into a collection of 3 times the same object with 3 fields with JSON.net?

I haven't tried anything yet. I am a bit familiar with serializing in Json.net. that's about it — Mathieu Vantieghem, May 13 '20 at 07:12

Wow, 3 days and I post the same answer on each day: C# Convert Json to object with duplicated property name with different data type

Basically you write a specific JsonConvert class that creates a 'union' of all the possible types and then parses the input field and adds the data to one of the union members.
