JSON to TypeScript, C#, Go, Python, Java — what the generator produces

Paste any sample JSON; the generator infers a schema from the structure and emits typed code. Languages supported:

  • TypeScriptinterface with optional (?) fields where the sample had nulls.
  • C# / .NETclass with [JsonPropertyName("...")] for System.Text.Json, PascalCase properties, nullable reference types where appropriate.
  • Gostruct with json tags. omitempty added for pointer/nullable fields.
  • Python@dataclass or pydantic.BaseModel. Type hints from typing.
  • Java — POJO with Jackson @JsonProperty annotations, standard getter/setter pairs.
  • Kotlin — data class with @SerialName for kotlinx.serialization or Moshi.
  • Swiftstruct conforming to Codable.
  • Rust — struct with serde derives (Serialize, Deserialize).

Nested objects become named types, arrays of objects become List<T> / [T] / Vec<T> in the target language's idiom.

quicktype alternative — what's different here?

quicktype.io was the dominant JSON-to-code generator for years. BuildStudio's equivalent covers the same major languages with some differences worth knowing:

  • No signup, no rate limit. quicktype's hosted version has started adding limits; ours is always free and unlimited.
  • In-browser only. Your JSON never hits our servers. Safe for proprietary API response samples.
  • Faster round-trip. No loading state; paste → instant output.
  • Fewer rare languages. quicktype also supports Objective-C, Haskell, Dart, Crystal, Ruby, Elm. If you need those specifically, use quicktype.
  • Same underlying approach. Both tools infer a union schema from the sample, then emit language-idiomatic code. Output quality is comparable.

Best workflow: paste an API response here, get the DTO class, paste into your project, iterate. Faster than writing the DTO by hand from memory or OpenAPI generators.

JSON to C# class — the ASP.NET workflow

A common task when integrating a third-party API in ASP.NET Core / .NET projects. Step-by-step:

  1. Fetch a sample response — call the API with our API Tester, copy the JSON body.
  2. Paste into the generator here, select C# / .NET.
  3. Copy the generated class into your project. The output uses [JsonPropertyName] attributes so property names on the wire don't have to match your PascalCase C# property names.
  4. Use with HttpClient + JsonSerializer: await client.GetFromJsonAsync<YourClass>(url).
  5. Adjust for optional fields — the generator marks nullable where the sample had nulls, but nothing beats reading the API's own schema docs.
// Usage example
using System.Net.Http.Json;

var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetFromJsonAsync<UserResponse>("https://api.example.com/user/1");
Console.WriteLine(response.Name);

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert JSON to TypeScript, C#, Go, Python or Java classes?

Paste any JSON sample into the tool. It infers a schema from the structure — primitives, objects, arrays, nested types — and generates typed code: TypeScript interfaces, C# POCOs, Go structs, Python dataclasses or Pydantic models, and Java POJOs with Jackson annotations.

Is this a free quicktype alternative?

Yes. It's a browser-based JSON-to-code generator for the same common targets quicktype supports (TypeScript, C#, Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Rust), plus a few more. No install, no API limits — runs entirely client-side so your JSON never leaves the browser.

Can I convert JSON to a C# class for ASP.NET or .NET?

Yes. The C# output generates idiomatic classes with PascalCase properties, `[JsonPropertyName]` attributes for System.Text.Json, and nullable types where the JSON sample has nulls. Paste the output straight into any .NET project.

Does it handle nested JSON arrays and objects?

Yes. Deeply nested structures are flattened into named types automatically. Arrays of objects become `List<T>` / `T[]` / `list[T]` depending on the target language. Optional fields (present as null or missing) are marked nullable/optional where the language supports it.

How does this compare to quicktype.io for JSON-to-code?

It covers the same major languages as quicktype with an in-browser experience, instant feedback and no rate limits. Ideal for devs generating one-off model classes from API sample responses.
