JObject & CamelCase conversion with JSON.Net

Question

How can I convert a generic JObject to camelCase plain json string? I\'ve tried with JsonSerializerSettings but doesn\'t work (Newtonsoft.Json 4.5.11)

As of this May 8th, 2013 blog post by James Newton-King regarding the 5.0 release of Json.NET, this has been addressed with the addition of "DefaultSettings". The example from that page follows but read the page for details for 3rd party libraries.

// settings will automatically be used by JsonConvert.SerializeObject/DeserializeObject
JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => new JsonSerializerSettings
    {
    Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
    ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
    };

Employee e = new Employee
    {
    FirstName = "Eric",
    LastName = "Example",
    BirthDate = new DateTime(1980, 4, 20, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
    Department = "IT",
    JobTitle = "Web Dude"
    };

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(e);
// {
//   "firstName": "Eric",
//   "lastName": "Example",
//   "birthDate": "1980-04-20T00:00:00Z",
//   "department": "IT",
//   "jobTitle": "Web Dude"
// }
