The Need for Model Classes
In strongly-typed languages like C#, Java, or Go, you cannot simply "use" JSON data. You must first map the data to a Class or a Struct to ensure type safety and prevent runtime errors.
How Model Generators Save Time
Instead of manually typing out getters, setters, and variable names, you can use a JSON to C# Class or JSON to Go Struct generator. This ensures that your code matches the API response exactly.
Benefits of Type Safety
- IntelliSense: Get autocomplete for your data objects in your IDE.
- Error Prevention: Catch missing data fields at compile time rather than during execution.
- Maintainability: Easier to update models when the API changes.
