Json.net map dynamic property to a fixed one [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

QuickBooks Online uses for their API the following response:


"QueryResponse":
"Customer": [

"GivenName": "Test"
,

"GivenName": "Test 2"

],
"startPosition": 1,
"maxResults": 2
,
"time": "2018-08-11T16:12:10.808-07:00"



I'm trying to create a C# model from this:

public class QueryResponseRoot<T> where T : IQuickbooksBaseEntity

[JsonProperty("QueryResponse")]
public QueryResponse<T> QueryResponse get; set;

[JsonProperty("time", Required = Required.Always)]
public DateTimeOffset Time get; set;


public class QueryResponse<T> where T : IQuickbooksBaseEntity

[JsonProperty, JsonConverter(typeof(QuickbooksResponseConverter))]
public IList<T> Results get; set;

[JsonProperty("startPosition")]
public Int64 StartPositions get; set;

[JsonProperty("maxResults")]
public Int64 MaxResults get; set;



The API has multiple entities which are all defined with the IQuickbooksBaseEntity interface.

IQuickbooksBaseEntity

The problem is that if you get Customers it will return Customer as a property on the QueryResponse object, but if you get something else like Accounts the response looks like this:

Customers

Customer

QueryResponse

Accounts


"QueryResponse":
"Account": [

"Name": "Accounts Payable (A/P)"

],
"startPosition": 1,
"maxResults": 90
,
"time": "2018-08-11T16:14:55.309-07:00"



How can I map the property Customer or Account or any other one from a known list to the Results property in my model?

Customer

Account

Results

Import to know (probably) is that I do know when I call the API which property will be returned to me (i.e. Customer or Account).

Now I'm solving it directly in code, but I'm not sure if casting it dynamic has large performance issues:

var resultObjectJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(body);

var entityName = typeof(T).Name;

var maxResults = (Int64) resultObjectJson.QueryResponse.maxResults;
var startPositions = (Int64) resultObjectJson.QueryResponse.startPosition;
var results = ((JArray) resultObjectJson.QueryResponse[entityName]).ToObject<List<T>>();

var resultRoot = new QueryResponseRoot<T>

QueryResponse = new QueryResponse<T>

MaxResults = maxResults,
StartPositions = startPositions,
Results = results

;

return resultRoot.QueryResponse;
