Free Online JSON to C# Class Generator
Convert JSON payloads into clean, idiomatic C# 14 records or classes with System.Text.Json attributes, nullable reference types, and nested models.
How to Use JSON to C# Class / Record Generator
- Paste JSON Payload: Paste your sample JSON payload or API response into the editor.
- Configure Generation Options: Choose C# Records vs Classes, System.Text.Json vs Newtonsoft attributes, and Root class name.
- Generate C# Models: Click 'Generate C# Code' to produce clean, typed C# models with inferred types.
- 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
Comparison with Alternatives
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.
