Generate C# Classes from Config Object
Application configs have deep nesting: app settings, database credentials, feature flags. This example generates C# classes from a multi-level config structure so you can deserialize configuration files directly in your .NET application.
What You Get
The tool produces:
- Root
Rootclass with three top-level sections:App,Database,Features RootAppclass withName,Version,DebugpropertiesRootDatabaseclass withHost,Port, andCredentialsnested classRootDatabaseCredentialsclass for database authRootFeaturesclass withDarkMode,MaxConnections, andAllowedOriginslist- Proper C# type mappings:
string,long,double,bool,List<string>
How to Use
- The example loads with a sample application config in C# mode
- The nested structure shows how each config section gets its own class
- Copy the classes and paste them into your .NET project
- Replace with your actual config JSON to generate classes for your project
Real-World Pattern
.NET config libraries like Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration work well with typed classes. Generate classes from your default config, then use JsonSerializer.Deserialize or your config library’s binder to populate them from JSON files, environment variables, or command-line flags.
