Deserializing JSON when fieldnames contain spaces

Question

I\'m writing a tool to read JSON files. I\'m using the NewtonSoft tool to deserialize the JSOn to a C# class. Here\'s an example fragment:

 \"name\": \"Fubar         


        

Answer 1

Not sure why but this did not work for me. In this example I simply return a null for "BindingType" every time. I actually found it much easier to just download the Json result as a string and then do something like:

  myString = myString.Replace(@"binding type", "BindingType")

You would do this as the step before deserializing.

Also was less text by a tad. While this worked in my example there will be situations where it may not. For instance if "binding type" was not only a field name but also a piece of data, this method would change it as well as the field name which may not be desirable.
