Hi,

Anybody know if json.net supports the following scenario and if it does please show me how

I have the following model structure

public abstract class Animal   {

}

public class Cat : Animal{

} 

I want to deserialize to an container object that has a list of animal objects

public class Zoo{ 

public IList<Animal> AnimalList;

}

In the Json the content list contains a drived type: Cat

"animalList":[    {        "type":"Cat",

So I need to be able to configure Json.net to be able to create a list of (Cat)animal objects. Obviously the derived class of Animal can change, so whatever comes in Json, Json.net will know to create a derived Type.

Thanks,
