JSON to C# Online

Updated 2026-08-04

// how to use

  1. 1 Paste your JSON — an array of objects lets optional fields be detected.
  2. 2 Set the root name; nested objects become their own records.
  3. 3 Copy the records into your project; the using directives you need are included.

// examples

A flat object
Input
{"user_id": 7, "name": "Ada"}
Output
public record Root with a UserId property carrying [JsonPropertyName("user_id")]
An optional field
Input
[{"id": 1}, {"id": 2, "note": "rush"}]
Output
Note becomes string? — nullable, because it is missing from one element
A nested object
Input
{"address": {"city": "London"}}
Output
A separate Address record, referenced from the root

// faq

Why does every renamed property get a JsonPropertyName attribute?
Because System.Text.Json will not bind a snake_case or kebab-case JSON key to a PascalCase property on its own — without the attribute the property silently stays null. It is added wherever the C# name differs from the JSON key.
Records or classes?
Records, with init-friendly properties. They are the modern default for DTOs, give you value equality for free, and are a smaller edit to turn into a class than the other way round.
Why are some types nullable?
A key missing from at least one element of the array you pasted is marked nullable, so nullable reference types and the compiler agree with reality. Paste a single object and nothing is marked nullable.
Do I need Newtonsoft.Json?
No. The output targets System.Text.Json, which ships with .NET. If you use Newtonsoft, swap JsonPropertyName for JsonProperty.
Is my JSON uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the JSON never leaves your machine.
