Direct Answer FreeDailyTools JSON to C# Generator converts raw JSON payloads into idiomatic C# 14 classes or records directly in your browser. Execution runs 100% locally with zero server transmissions, protecting proprietary API models. Supports System.Text.Json attributes, nullable reference types, PascalCase formatting, and nested model inference.

How to Use JSON to C# Class / Record Generator

  1. Paste JSON Payload: Paste your sample JSON payload or API response into the editor.
  2. Configure Generation Options: Choose C# Records vs Classes, System.Text.Json vs Newtonsoft attributes, and Root class name.
  3. Generate C# Models: Click 'Generate C# Code' to produce clean, typed C# models with inferred types.
  4. Copy or Download: Copy the code directly to your clipboard or download as a .cs file for your .NET solution.

Common Use Cases

Backend API Integration in .NET

Convert external REST API responses into strongly-typed DTOs for HttpClient consumption in ASP.NET Core.

Database Schema Mapping

Map NoSQL document structures and Cosmos DB items into C# models.

Unit Test Mock Data Preparation

Generate C# test models from production JSON logs for xUnit and NUnit fixtures.

Refactoring Legacy Newtonsoft Code

Migrate older models to modern C# 14 records with System.Text.Json serialization attributes.

Technical Mechanics & Architecture

The tool parses the JSON AST (Abstract Syntax Tree), inspects type primitives, and traverses object graphs. It computes schema unions for arrays of objects, normalizes identifier names to valid C# keywords, and emits formatted C# syntax.

Comparison with Alternatives

Many online C# generators only produce old C# 5 mutable classes with public getters and setters. FreeDailyTools emits modern C# 14 records with init properties and nullable annotations.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Provide a comprehensive sample JSON payload that includes optional fields so nullability is accurately inferred.
  • Use 'Records' for immutable DTOs and API response models in modern .NET applications.
  • Check 'Use PascalCase' to ensure your C# properties follow standard Microsoft C# naming conventions.
  • If your JSON contains date strings, the generator maps them to DateTime or DateTimeOffset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my confidential API payloads sent to any server?

No. The entire code generation engine executes client-side in your browser. Secret tokens and proprietary schema structures remain confidential.

Does the generator support modern C# 14 record types?

Yes. You can toggle between modern positional records, init-only records, or traditional mutable classes.

Does it support System.Text.Json serialization attributes?

Yes. It adds [JsonPropertyName("original_key")] and preserves PascalCase naming conventions.

How are nested JSON objects and arrays handled?

Nested objects are automatically extracted into separate strongly-typed C# classes, and arrays are typed as List<T> or IReadOnlyList<T>.

Does it handle nullable reference types?

Yes. When enabled, properties are declared with C# nullable annotations (e.g. string?, int?).

Can I generate code for arrays of objects at the root?

Yes. If the root payload is a JSON array, the tool inspects items to synthesize a unified C# model.
