I'm programming a C# implementation for the Qualtrics API (v 2.5) using RestSharp. When calling the method getUserIds, it returns a list of users in JSON format (see the example output below).
The problem/question I face is that for each user object (the list of objects under Result
) it generates a different id, starting with URH_
. When using json2csharp it assumes ofcourse that it's always a different class, while in fact it's absolutely the same one as you can see in the output, and as is stated in the documentation of the api. How can I best resolve this - so that I can make a class UserData
that I can reuse? Because now I obviously always see these random URH_
prefixed classes in each response.
NOTE: I was thinking I could try to massage the response first, and when I get the response replace each URH_
prefixed object under the root Result
object with a "UserData"
string - but I feel this is breaking the rules a bit, and thought the community would have a better solution?
Below is the raw JSON output (note that I removed sensitive information):
{"Meta":{"Status":"Success","Debug":""},"Result":{"URH_3wpA9pxGbE0c7Xu":{"DivisionID":null,"UserName":"[email protected]","UserFirstName":"x","UserLastName":"x","UserAccountType":"UT_4SjjZmbPphZGKDq","UserEmail":"[email protected]","UserAccountStatus":"Active"},"URH_57vQr8MVXgpcPUo":{"DivisionID":"DV_XXXXXXXX","UserName":"[email protected]","UserFirstName":"X","UserLastName":"X","UserAccountType":"UT_BRANDADMIN","UserEmail":"[email protected]","UserAccountStatus":"Active"},"URH_6ujW1EP0QJOUaoI":{"DivisionID":"DV_XXXXXXXYZ","UserName":"[email protected]","UserFirstName":"x","UserLastName":"x","UserAccountType":"UT_XXXXXABCD","UserEmail":"[email protected]","UserAccountStatus":"Active"}}}
This is what I get when generating a model using json2csharp:
public class Meta
{
public string Status { get; set; }
public string Debug { get; set; }
}
public class URH3wpA9pxGbE0c7Xu
{
public object DivisionID { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string UserFirstName { get; set; }
public string UserLastName { get; set; }
public string UserAccountType { get; set; }
public string UserEmail { get; set; }
public string UserAccountStatus { get; set; }
}
public class URH57vQr8MVXgpcPUo
{
public string DivisionID { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string UserFirstName { get; set; }
public string UserLastName { get; set; }
public string UserAccountType { get; set; }
public string UserEmail { get; set; }
public string UserAccountStatus { get; set; }
}
public class URH6ujW1EP0QJOUaoI
{
public string DivisionID { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string UserFirstName { get; set; }
public string UserLastName { get; set; }
public string UserAccountType { get; set; }
public string UserEmail { get; set; }
public string UserAccountStatus { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public URH3wpA9pxGbE0c7Xu URH_3wpA9pxGbE0c7Xu { get; set; }
public URH57vQr8MVXgpcPUo URH_57vQr8MVXgpcPUo { get; set; }
public URH6ujW1EP0QJOUaoI URH_6ujW1EP0QJOUaoI { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Meta Meta { get; set; }
public Result Result { get; set; }
}
It's simple - just use Dictionary<string, UserData>
generic type for Result
field:
public class Response
{
public Meta Meta { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, UserData> Result { get; set; }
}
public class Meta
{
public string Status { get; set; }
public string Debug { get; set; }
}
public class UserData
{
public string DivisionID { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string UserFirstName { get; set; }
public string UserLastName { get; set; }
public string UserAccountType { get; set; }
public string UserEmail { get; set; }
public string UserAccountStatus { get; set; }
}
