What's the syntax to create an object that is an array of objects with JObject?

Try JToken or JArray.

var Config = JToken.FromObject(    new List<Question>    {        new Question        {            Key = "contact",            Label = "Contact Person",            HelpText = "",            Config = JObject.FromObject(new {}),            Type = "text",            ContextTarget = "$.data.contact"        },        new Question        {            Key = "company",            Label = "Company Name",            HelpText = "",            Config = JObject.FromObject(new {}),            Type = "text",            ContextTarget = "$.data.company"        }    }    );var result = Config.ToString();

The result is:

[{    "Label": "Contact Person",    "HelpText": "",    "Type": "text",    "ContextTarget": "$.data.contact",    "Config": {},    "Key": "contact"},{    "Label": "Company Name",    "HelpText": "",    "Type": "text",    "ContextTarget": "$.data.company",    "Config": {},    "Key": "company"}]

You need to know what type of JToken you want to create. For example, you can create a JObject either from a string value or from a .NET object. They are like factory methods. For example, if you want to create it from List<string>, you will have to tell the framework you will be creating a JArray from an in memory object:

var fromArray = JArray.FromObject(new List<string>                {                    "One",                    "Two"                });

Or that you will be creating JObject:

var fromObj = JObject.FromObject(new Customer() { Name = "Jon" });

Or you can create the tokens from JSON:

var fromJson = JArray.Parse("[\"One\", \"Two\"]");

Finally, you can just create JToken which is the parent of all the above classes (JArray, JObject) but then you will only have access to JToken properties and methods:

var Config = JToken.FromObject(    new List<string>    {        "One",        "Two"    });

See this for the various tokens.

so the C# code I needed to do so was:

Config = JObject.FromObject(new                                            {                                                questions = JArray.FromObject(                                                new List<Question>                                                {                                                    new Question                                                    {                                                        Key = "contact",                                                        Label = "Contact Person",                                                        HelpText = "",                                                        Config = emptyJObject,                                                        Type = "text",                                                        ContextTarget = "$.data.contact"                                                    },                                                    new Question                                                    {                                                        Key = "company",                                                        Label = "Company Name",                                                        HelpText = "",                                                        Config = emptyJObject,                                                        Type = "text",                                                        ContextTarget = "$.data.company"                                                    }                                                })                                            })
