Understanding JSON to C# Conversion
What is POCO Class Generation?
POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) classes are simple C# classes that:
- Map JSON data to strongly-typed C# objects
- Enable type safety and IntelliSense in your C# code
- Facilitate data serialization and deserialization
- Improve code maintainability and readability
Key Features
Code Generation
- Smart Type Detection: Automatic C# type inference
- Nested Classes: Handles complex JSON structures
- Array Support: Generates proper List types
Developer Tools
- Syntax Highlighting: For both JSON and C#
- Code Formatting: Clean, readable output
- One-Click Copy: Easy code transfer
Common Use Cases
API Development
- Create model classes for API responses
- Generate DTOs for data transfer
- Map external API responses to local models
Data Processing
- Convert configuration files to classes
- Create data models from JSON samples
- Generate entity classes for databases
Pro Tips
- Format your JSON input for better readability
- Use meaningful property names in your JSON
- Review generated class names for clarity
- Check array types for correct collection definitions
- Consider adding data annotations after conversion
Generated Code Features
- Clean, properly indented C# code
- Public properties with get/set accessors
- Appropriate C# data types (int, double, string, bool, etc.)
- Nested class definitions for complex objects
- Generic List for array properties
Data Privacy
All JSON processing and C# class generation is performed entirely in your browser. Your code and data never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
