Answer 1

You have to change the DefaultContractResolver which uses camelCase by default. Just set the NamingStatergy as null.

This should be done in the StartUp.ConfirgureService as follows.

  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc()
            .AddMvcOptions(o => o.OutputFormatters.Add(
                new XmlDataContractSerializerOutputFormatter()));

            .AddJsonOptions(o => {
                if (o.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver != null)
                {
                    var castedResolver = o.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver
                        as DefaultContractResolver;
                    castedResolver.NamingStrategy = null;
                }
            });
    }

Option 2

Use JSonProperty as follows.

public class Hat
{
    [JsonProperty("id")]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("color")]
    public string Color { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("count")]
    public int Count { get; set; }
}
