Json array with multiple types to object

Hi, I've got the following JSON Array of an array (that I can't change)

"values": [
    [
        "2712",
        1
    ],
    [
        "2.40",
        1
    ]
],

"values": [
    [
        "2712",
        1
    ],
    [
        "2.40",
        1
    ]
],

How would I go about deserializing this using system.text.json? I'm fine with a solution that gives me a class (with a string and int as properties) or with casting the int to a string somehow and thus having an string[][]

Wouldn't object[][] work...?

I was hoping for something more elegant 😛

Otherwise depending on how much effort you're willing to put in, you could maybe create a type which represents either an integer or a string, then write a custom JSON converter for it.

Hmm, object[][] makes it a JsonElement and not a string/int 🤔 Figured it out with a custom converter after all Thanks
