Vinicius, alternatively, you can use the Attributes [DataContract]
and [DataMember]
instead of [JsonObject]
and [JsonProperty]
respectively.
But when you do this, you will have to put [DataMember]
on all properties that you want to serialize, since omitting [DataMember]
will be the same as adding [JsonIgnore]
.
This approach can be very useful if you want to expose your objects with WebAPI
or WCF
, including [DataMember]
has the EmitDefaultValue
attribute, if set to false, it will not serialize properties while are set to default
.
But if you know how to declare the property name in a way that does not use Attributes
, unfortunately you will have to write your own JsonConverter
, so it may not be viable.
If you prefer, you can add the attributes to other classes, to do so use the [MetadataType]
Attributes, this approach is especially useful to keep attributes in automatically generated classes, so let's take as base the following class: / p>
public partial class MyClass
{
public string Property1 {get; set;}
public string Property2 {get; set;}
public string Property3 {get; set;}
}
then we would have to do the following in a separate file:
[MetadataType(typeof(MyMetaData))]
public partial class MyClass
{
}
public class MyMetaData
{
[DataMember(Name = "property_1")]
public string Property1 {get; set;}
[DataMember(Name = "property_2")]
public string Property2 {get; set;}
[DataMember(Name = "property_3")]
public string Property3 {get; set;}
}
Although I believe the answer above did not solve your problem, I hope I gave you a north.
