Default value for missing properties with JSON.net

Question

I\'m using Json.net to serialize objects to database.

I added a new property to the class (which is missing in the json in the database) and I want the new property

Answer 1

You can also have a default value as:

class Cat
{           
    public string Name { get; set; }
        
    public int Age { get; set; } = 1 ; // one is the default value. If json property does not exist when deserializing the value will be one. 
}
