Serializing "string list" to JSON in C# -

(i'v restated question here: creating class instances based on dynamic item lists)

i'm working on program in visual studio 2015 c#.

i have 5 list strings contain data wish serialize json file.

public list<string> name { get; private set; } public list<string> userimageurl { get; private set; } public list<string> nickname { get; private set; } public list<string> info { get; private set; } public list<string> available { get; private set; } 

an example of desired json file format fallowing:

{     "users" :      [         {             "name" : "name1",             "userimageurl" : "userimageurl1",             "nickname" : "nickname1",             "info" : "info1",             "available" : false,         },         {             "name" : "name2",             "userimageurl" : "userimageurl2",             "nickname" : "nickname2",             "info" : "info2",             "available" : false,         },         {             "name" : "name3",             "userimageurl" : "userimageurl3",             "nickname" : "nickname3",             "info" : "info3",             "available" : false,         },         {             "name" : "name4",             "userimageurl" : "userimageurl4",             "nickname" : "nickname4",             "info" : "info4",             "available" : false,         }      ] }  

note there might errors in json example above.

i've tried combining 5 lists create 1 list serialize using following code:

users = new list<string>(name.count + userimageurl.count + nickname.count + info.count + available.count);             allplayers.addrange(name);             allplayers.addrange(userimageurl);             allplayers.addrange(nickname);             allplayers.addrange(info);             allplayers.addrange(available); 

then serialize list fallowing code:

string data = jsonconvert.serializeobject(users);             file.writealltext("data.json", data); 

this creates array of unorganized objects. wish know how can organize them expressed in format above.

ps: i'm pretty new coding can tell. sorry if i'm not expressing question correctly or using right terminology. also, not original code. code creates lists wish serialize json file.

pss: data collected using htmlagilitypack. asked question yesterday asking how parse html file , serialize it's data json file. using htmlagilitypack specific data in c# , serialize json . nobody answered, decided try , myself. method used may not best, knowledge have.

i suggest refactoring code start - instead of having 5 "parallel collections", have single collection of new type, user:

public class user {     public string name { get; set; }     public string imageurl { get; set; }     public string nickname { get; set; }     public string info { get; set; }     public bool available { get; set; } }  ...  // in containing type public list<user> users { get; set; } 

this make life simpler not json, rest of code - because no longer have possibility of having more nicknames image urls, etc. in general, having multiple collections must kept in sync each other antipattern. there are times it's appropriate - typically providing different efficient ways of retrieving same data - it's best avoided.
