JSON mapping to C# class

I have a piece of JSON like this:

{
"Site 1": [
    {
        "Stuff": [
            "detergent",
            "det1"
        ],
        "productLine": "Hay",
        "revenue": {
            "1": 3123,
            "2": 123123,
            "3": 123123
        }
    },
    {
        "Stuff": [
            "detergent",
            "det2"
        ],
        "productLine": "Machine",
        "revenue": {
            "1": 343123,
            "2": 1231321323,
            "3": 321
        }
    }
],
"Site 2": [
    {
        "Stuff": [
            "detergent",
            "det1"
        ],
        "productLine": "Hay",
        "revenue": {
            "1": 111,
            "2": 123123,
            "3": 3213
        }
    },
    {
        "Stuff": [
            "detergent",
            "det2"
        ],
        "productLine": "Machine",
        "revenue": {
            "1": 11123,
            "2": 3255,
            "3": 6575
        }
    }
]
}

I want to map this to C# class but my problem is the names Site1 and site2 are what I would think should be a class name? Is there a way to represent this as a C# object?

Your root object is actually a Dictionary<string, List<YourClass>> and YourClass will look like this:

public class YourClass
{
    public string[] Stuff { get; set; }
    public string productLine { get; set; }
    public Dictionary<string, int> revenue { get; set; }
}

Now you can deserialize your json like this:

var dic = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, List<YourClass>>>("Your json string goes here...");

On your c# classes that map the same object graph as the json you can add attributes to the Class and properties to map the json exactly, eg for lowercase json properties etc.
