Adding header to JSON get request

Question

First of all, I apologize for the vague title or any other incorrect terminology. I'm new to working with JSON and multi-layered (multi-dimensional?) formats aren't talked about much in online tutorials.

My question is, using this data:

Lot = "ABC" infoA = "1.0" infoB = "2.0"

I'm trying to return the following JSON format from a GET request using asp.net web api:

{ "ABC" : { infoA: "1.0", infoB: "2.0" } }

My model is setup as below:

public class LotHeader { public string LotID { get; set; } public Lot LotInfo { get; set; } } public class Lot { public string infoA{ get; set; } public string infoB { get; set; } }

And my controller looks like this:

Currently, I'm getting the following output:

{"LotID":"ABC", "LotInfo": {"infoA":"1.0","infoB":"2.0"} }

Is it possible to get the desired output? Thanks for any help.

To get your desired output, you can populate a Dictionary<string, Lot>:

var response = new Dictionary<string, Lot>(); response[lot.LotID] = lot.LotInfo; return Ok(response);
