What type of C# object does the following JSON map to?

Question

I want to desalinize the following JSON into a strongly typed C# object:

{"myThings":{"One thing":"aaaaa","Two thing":"bbbbb"}}

One thing and Two thing aren't always called One thing and Two thing , these change every time, and there could be more or less myThings.

I can't figure out what type of object myThings should be, I am thinking a KeyValuePair but am unsure if Json.Net supports deserialising to a key/value pair, or if this is even correct. Can somebody confirm?

Thanks

Answer 1

class MyThings
{
    public string OneThing { get; set; }
    public string TwoThing { get; set; }
}

or

class MyThings
{
    public Dictionary<string, string> Dictionary { get; set; }
}

If the number of "X things" is unknown and variable use the Dictionary<string, string> . If you are always going to have {"One thing":"aaaaa","Two thing":"bbbbb"} use the first class.

EDIT: Given your edit, use the Dictionary<string, string>
