✅ Determine the .NET type of a json object

I have a json generated by another program that i want to deserialize and manipulate the data of (using newtonsoft.json), but I am unsure what the .NET type I am deserializing it into should look like. The json file is attached.

(also, just use STJ, no need for Newtonsoft nowadays)

Also you can 'just paste' and theres an option in recent releases of studio to do that for you

Edit -> paste special -> json as classes

Angius•1/22/23, 10:34 PM

Yeah, VS and Rider have it built-in
