Default camel case of property names in JSON serialization

Question

I have a bunch of classes that will be serialized to JSON at some point and for the sake of following both C# conventions on the back-end and JavaScript conventions on the f

You can use a custom contract resolver:

class MyContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
    protected override IList CreateProperties(Type type, MemberSerialization memberSerialization)
    {
        var properties = base.CreateProperties(type, memberSerialization);

        foreach (var property in properties)
        {
            property.PropertyName = char.ToLower(property.PropertyName[0]) + string.Join("", property.PropertyName.Skip(1));
        }

        return properties;
    }
}

And use it like:

class MyClass
{
    public int MyProperty { get; set; }
    public int MyProperty2 { get; set; }
}

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new MyClass(), 
                Formatting.Indented, 
                new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new MyContractResolver() });
