Is there a way to ignore get-only properties using the Json.NET serializer but without using JsonIgnore attributes?

You can use a contract resolver like this:

public class ExcludeCalculatedResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
    protected override JsonProperty CreateProperty(MemberInfo member, MemberSerialization memberSerialization)
    {
        var property = base.CreateProperty(member, memberSerialization);
        property.ShouldSerialize = _ => ShouldSerialize(member);
        return property;
    }

    internal static bool ShouldSerialize(MemberInfo memberInfo)
    {
        var propertyInfo = memberInfo as PropertyInfo;
        if (propertyInfo == null)
        {
            return false;
        }

        if (propertyInfo.SetMethod != null)
        {
            return true;
        }

        var getMethod = propertyInfo.GetMethod;
        return Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(getMethod, typeof(CompilerGeneratedAttribute)) != null;
    }
}

It will exclude calculated properties but include C#6 get only properties and all properties with a set method.
