Serialize/Deserialize dynamic property name using JSON.NET

Question

I have the following class:

public class MyRequest
{
    public string Type {get;set;}
    public string Source {get;set;}
}

I would like t

Answer 1

I would write custom serialization/deserialization methods

var req1 = new MyRequest() { Type = "card", Source = "SomeValue" };
var json = Serialize(req1);
var req2 = Deserialize(json);

string Serialize(T obj)
{
    var jObj = JObject.FromObject(obj);
    var src = jObj["Source"];
    jObj.Remove("Source");
    jObj[(string)jObj["Type"]] = src;
    return jObj.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented);
}

T Deserialize(string json)
{
    var jObj = JObject.Parse(json);
    var src = jObj[(string)jObj["Type"]];
    jObj.Remove((string)jObj["Type"]);
    jObj["Source"] = src;
    return jObj.ToObject();
}
