About this converter

This free tool converts Mongoose Schema into C# record. Mongoose model schema definition. C# record type. The conversion runs entirely client-side: your input is not uploaded or logged. Useful when you want to skip writing types by hand for an API response, a database row, or a config payload.

Why convert Mongoose Schema to C# record

  • Generate C# records that play nicely with System.Text.Json.
  • Express immutable DTOs without the Get/Set ritual.
  • Use init-only properties to keep instances safe to share.

How to use

  1. Paste your Mongoose Schema on the left panel, or pick one of the sample tabs above.
  2. The converter infers field names, optionality, and types automatically.
  3. Copy the generated C# record on the right and drop it straight into your codebase.

Common pitfalls

  • Inferred types only see the payload you pasted. Add nullable / optional flags for fields that can be missing.
  • Numeric types are inferred as integer or float based on the sample. Real APIs sometimes return both — widen to a number/float type when in doubt.
  • Empty arrays default to an `unknown` element type. Paste a non-empty sample to get a meaningful element type.

FAQ

Is this mongoose schema to c# record converter free?
Yes. It is fully free, no signup, and runs entirely in your browser. We do not store your input.
Does it work with nested objects and arrays?
Yes. Nested objects produce separate named types, and arrays infer the element type from the first non-null sample.
What about optional / nullable fields?
Fields whose value is null in the sample (or marked optional in JSON Schema / Prisma / GraphQL) are marked optional/nullable in the output. For real APIs, you may want to widen optionality manually after generation.
Can I generate C# Record from multiple Mongoose Schema samples?
Today the tool processes a single sample. For more aggressive inference across multiple shapes, run the converter on the union/merge of your samples or open an issue.
Is the source code available?
Yes — the entire project is open source. See the GitHub link in the footer.

Next steps with C# record

Once you have the generated code, here are the most common ways to use it in a real project.

Use System.Text.Json

JsonSerializer.Deserialize<User>(json) handles records out of the box (since .NET 5+).

Wire into ASP.NET Core

Records work as parameters in [HttpPost] handlers; the framework deserializes automatically.
