FileHelpers VS quicktype

Not a public repo, but it’s used this way in a production environment for the last few years when loading fixed length files from a few different state agencies (we process using C#, and the Files Helper NuGet package, see www.filehelpers.net for some code examples).

Try this https://www.nuget.org/packages/FileHelpers

Have you ever heard of the FileHelpers library?

I’ve used https://www.filehelpers.net/ for a long time.

I grab the response off of the network tab. Either make a structure manually or use something like QuickType

2. Quicktype

I have the library demo linked from the homepage bookmarked: https://app.quicktype.io/ I use it every time I need to go from a pile of JSON to TypeScript types or zod declarations.

This is a very intriguing problem!

Not trying to steal thunder, but quicktype (https://github.com/quicktype/quicktype) does all of this–JSON schema or TypeScript definitions to de/serializers and types in nearly 30 languages at this point. Try it here: https://app.quicktype.io

I usually use this tool: https://app.quicktype.io

Grab the json, paste it into https://app.quicktype.io/ and see if the structure matched your struct.

I usually use https://app.quicktype.io/ , they also have a VSCode plugin and then fieldaligment to make sure it's as compact as possible.

Just paste your json inside app.quicktype.io or it's vscode

P.S. This could be more efficient to generate Codable code than ChatGPT
