A Great Extension

quicktype is an excellent Visual Studio 2017 extension that packs in quite a few features and enhancements. Unlike Visual Studio’s native feature, Paste JSON as Classes, quicktype has a lot more functionality to offer. For instance, it could add JsonProperty names automatically, has improved partial classes, fills in a complete class and namespace, etc. Not to mention, quicktype helps improve memory management and can remedy all known warnings related to the Objective-C compiler. All of these attributes shall drastically enhance your productivity.

Frees Up Time

Coding is no child’s play, and it takes quite a lot of effort and commitment to ace the game. There is also a lot of slogging involved to come up with new ideas, so that you do not cut-paste hacked codes from third party sites. quicktype knows what it’s supposed to do and sticks to that throughout. It doesn’t bombard the user with too many options. It keeps things simple and offers you enough flexibility. You probably might think you do not need this tool. But that perception would change once you realize how easy quicktype makes JSON usage.
