Pascal case dynamic properties with Json.NET

Question

This is what I have:

using Newtonsoft.Json;

var json = \"{\\\"someProperty\\\":\\\"some value\\\"}\";
dynamic deserialized = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(j         


        

Answer 1

For newtonsoft add this attribute to your properties:

[JsonProperty("schwabFirmId")]

A simpler option (since you just need to do it once per class) if you are up for including MongoDB: try adding a reference to MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Conventions.

Then add this in your model constructor:

var pack = new ConventionPack { new CamelCaseElementNameConvention(), new IgnoreIfDefaultConvention(true) };
            ConventionRegistry.Register("CamelCaseIgnoreDefault", pack, t => true);

Either one will keep your favorite C# properties PascalCased and your json camelCased.

Deserializing will treat the inbound data as PascalCased and serializing will change it into camelCase.
