Howto C# DeserializeObject, where variable name is number?

Question

How do I Deserialize the following. The problem is that the variable name is a number. So how should MyClass be defined?

json_str:
{"23521952": {"b": [], "o": []}, "23521953": {"b": [], "o": []}}

class MyClass {     //? };

var var = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyClass>(json_str);

Answer 1

This sounds like the outer object is actually a dictionary:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

class Foo
{
    // no clue what b+o look like from the question; modify to suit
    public int[] b { get; set; }
    public string[] o { get; set; }
}
static class P
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var json = @"{""23521952"": {""b"": [], ""o"": []}, ""23521953"": {""b"": [], ""o"": []}}";
        var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, Foo>>(json);
        foreach(var pair in obj)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine($"{pair.Key}, {pair.Value}");
        }

    }
}

You can use anonymous type deserialization for your data like this, without creating classes for properties of JSON. Hope it works.

    var finalResult=JsonConvert.DeserializeAnonymousType(
            json_str,  // input
            new 
            {
              Id= 
              {
                new
                { 
                   b=new[], o=new[]
                }
              }
            }
          ); 

    foreach(var id in finalResult.Id)
    {
    console.write(id); // gives ids like 23521952
    console.write(id.b[0]) // gives first elemnt in 'b' array
    }
