'Deserialize Json with class names that are not always the same, in C#
I'm trying to deserialize a response from a firebase realtime database get/json, to get user locations that are online
example response:
{
"test1": {
"id": "test-1",
"location": {
"lat": 37.33097983,
"long": -122.03063943
}
},
"test2": {
"id": "test-2",
"location": {
"lat": 37.33021864,
"long": -122.02370753
}
},
"test3": {
"id": "test-3",
"location": {
"lat": 37.32873847,
"long": -122.01980584
}
},
"test4": {
"id": "test-4",
"location": {
"lat": 37.32563464,
"long": -122.01972943
}
},
"test5": {
"id": "test-5",
"location": {
"lat": 37.32472734,
"long": -122.02127163
}
}
}
I put this into a json to c# class converter and it creates a class for each user (Test1, Test2, Test3, etc). This would work, if the users from the example are the only users to be in the response. If I had a sixth user named "6test", I would need to also create a class for that one too.
How can I use the Json converter (Newtonsoft.Json or System.Text.Json) to return a user in a list<User>
