Rendering JSON input with obj.property and obj.property[index] using JsonPropertyName()-CodePudding

I am using System.Text.Json.Serialization with JsonPropertyName("obj.property") in a .NET Core 3.1 based web api project to deserialize JSON input to a C# POCO object. The input contains few attributes with dots, i.e.,

"id": "B1346",
"businessType": "RENTAL",
"company.city": "LUND",
"company.zipcode": "99999",
"company.email": "[email protected]",
"user.email[0]": "[email protected]",
"user.name[0]": "Tom",
"user.email[1]": "[email protected]",
"user.name[1]": "Harry",

I have created following POCO object:

public class Form
{
  public string Id { get; set;}
  public string BusinessType { get; set;}
  [JsonPropertyName("company.city")]
  public string CompanyCity { get; set;}
  [JsonPropertyName("company.zipcode")]
  public string CompanyZipcode { get; set;}
  [JsonPropertyName("company.email")]
  public string CompanyEmail { get; set;}
  [JsonPropertyName("user.email")]
  public List<string> UserEmail { get; set;}
  [JsonPropertyName("user.name")]
  public List<string> UserName { get; set;}
}

So far it has worked for simple attributes with dot, e.g., company.city, but not for array elements, e.g., users.name[0]

public async Task PostApplication(Form form)
{ ... }

Quick watch (during debug) shows the successful deserialization of all properties for the parameter "form" except arrays:

assuming that you have only [0] and [1] try this classes

public class Root
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string businessType { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("company.city")]
        public string CompanyCity { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("company.zipcode")]
        public string CompanyZipcode { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("company.email")]
        public string CompanyEmail { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("user.email[0]")]
        public string UserFirsEmail { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("user.name[0]")]
        public string UserFirstName { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("user.email[1]")]
        public string UserSecondEmail { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("user.name[1]")]
        public string UserSecondName { get; set; }
    }

if you have arrays with more than 2 elements you need much more complicated code. But I can't see anything else in your post.

var jD = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(json);
var data = new Data {
        Id=jD.id,
        BusinessType=jD.businessType,
        Company = new Company { City = jD.CompanyCity, Email = jD.CompanyEmail },
        User = new User {Name=jD.UserName0, Email=jD.UserEmail0, SecondName=jD.UserName1, SecondEmail=jD.UserEmail1}
    }

classes

public class Data
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string BusinessType { get; set; }

    public Company Company {get;set;}
    public User User {get;set;}
}
public class Company
{
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string Zipcode { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
}
public class User
{
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string SecondEmail { get; set; }
    public string SecondName { get; set; }
}

The items in the list need to be JSON list format, it should look like this to be deserialized as a string list :

{
  "id": "B1346",
  "businessType": "RENTAL",
  "company.city": "LUND",
  "company.zipcode": "99999",
  "company.email": "[email protected]",
  "user.email": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
  "user.name": ["Tom","Harry]
}
