Parsing Json List

Question

Currently i have this json:

{
    "ResponseCode":200,
     "data":[
       "2016-08-05T15:49:15.157000+00:00",
       "SomeString",
        1230,
        9.025
    ]
}

I can deserialize json string to this

public class Example1
{
    public int ResponseCode { get; set; }
    public IList<object> data { get; set; }
}

But i would like to deserialize “data” to a concrete model instead of IList<object>

public class Example1
{
    public int ResponseCode { get; set; }

    public DataModel data { get; set; }
}

public class DataModel
{

    public DateTime date { get; set; }

    public string SomeString { get; set; }

       ...

}

Im using System.Text.Json nuget package. What should i do? Can i solve this with a custom implementation of JsonConvert<T>?

You will need a custom serialization converter, or write the handling of it manually, because the json denotes a list of various types of objects, and there isn't something built in to do that. — Lasse V. Karlsen, Apr 29 '20 at 11:09

If you want to use DataModel class, you need to update your json value :

{
    "ResponseCode":200,
     "data": {
       "date": "2016-08-05T15:49:15.157000+00:00",
       "someString": "SomeString",
       "anotherVal": 1230,
       "anotherVal2": 9.025
    }
}

where data is Example1.data parameter and "date", "someString", "anotherVal" and "anotherVal2" are DataModel parameters

Is there any solution to do that which can work in performance critical environement and its “dynamic”? – SzAdam88 Apr 29 '20 at 12:04
