I'm trying to get the following json (see below) deserialized (using newtonsoft json serializer) and the problem is the variable named "2010-12" it is obviously dependent on the data returned - it represents a month and next month the value will change to "2010-01".

Any ideas on how i could handle this with the following class?

[JsonObject(MemberSerialization.OptIn)] public class Crimes { [JsonProperty()] public Month Month { get; set; } } 

Example JSON instance:

{ "commentary": null, "crimes": { "2010-12": { "anti-social-behaviour": { "crime_rate": "0.46", "crime_level": "average", "total_crimes": 74 }, "other-crime": { "crime_rate": "0.35", "crime_level": "average", "total_crimes": 56 }, "all-crime": { "crime_rate": "1.12", "crime_level": "average", "total_crimes": 180 }, "robbery": { "crime_rate": "0.02", "crime_level": "above_average", "total_crimes": 3 }, "burglary": { "crime_rate": "0.14", "crime_level": "above_average", "total_crimes": 22 }, "vehicle-crime": { "crime_rate": "0.04", "crime_level": "average", "total_crimes": 7 }, "violent-crime": { "crime_rate": "0.11", "crime_level": "average", "total_crimes": 18 } } } }

I'm not familiar with Newtonsoft's deserializer, but generally speaking I think the thing to do would be to deserialize the crimes property as a dictionary with either a string or DateTime key. Sorry I can't tell you exactly how to do that in Newtonsoft, but try looking into it.
