Consider following Json data below, I would like to deserialize object items in "cart" as array/Enumerable -lets say CartItem- since ojects "1345516108" and "1456460669" are structurally identical.
{
"checksum": "8ea325b368df5f2994e3c6da022e52db",

I would like to deserialize above json to a class something similar below;
public class Rootobject
{
public string checksum { get; set; }
public Totalprice totalPrice { get; set; }
public Cart cart { get; set; }
public int overallAgeLimit { get; set; }
}
public class Totalprice
{
public string amount { get; set; }
public string symbol { get; set; }
public string code { get; set; }
public bool isZero { get; set; }
public int rawAmount { get; set; }
public string formattedAmount { get; set; }
public string full { get; set; }
public string for_email { get; set; }
}
public class Cart
{
public cartItem[] cartItems { get; set; }
}
public class cartItem
{
public int id { get; set; }
public Price price { get; set; }
public int timeAdded { get; set; }
public Availability availability { get; set; }
public bool isDiscounted { get; set; }
public bool isInDevelopment { get; set; }
public int releaseDate { get; set; }
public Salesvisibility salesVisibility { get; set; }
...
}
Is it possible to achieve this kind deserialization .Net 8 using System.Text.Json.Serialization?
Thanks.
Your json cart is technically a dictionary id -> CartItem, so change type of your RootObject.cart to IDictionary<string, CartItem> and you should be good.
