Deserialize JSON as object or array with JSON.Net [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can change the property type for "data" in your model to dynamic or an object and check if it is an array on run-time.

Here's an example:

public class Response
{
    [JsonProperty("status")]
    public string Status { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("data")]
    public dynamic Data { get; set; }
}


var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeJson(json);
.
.
.

Type responseDataType = response.Data.GetType();

if(responseDataType.IsArray) {
    // It's an array, what to do?
}
else {
    // Not an array, what's next?
}
