Use JsonProperty if it exists otherwise use camelcase-CodePudding

I have the following class:

public sealed class CRMUser
{
    /// The display name.
    /// </value>
    [JsonProperty("name")]
    public string DisplayName { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("email")]
    public string EmailAddress { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("phone")]
    public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
}

Which when I returned it as Json in a controller eg

return Json(crmUser);

it was returning the object with camel case and ignoring the JsonProperty attributes. To get around this, I had to add the following:

services.AddControllers()
    .AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
    {
        // this allows us to use the JsonProperty attribute when returning Json in an action
        options.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver(); // this resolver is from newtonsoft.json
    });

This works but now any class that I haven't used JsonProperty attribute on is no longer camel case - is there a way to get it to use the property if it exists and if not, fall back to camel casing?

CodePudding user response：

To tell Json.Net to use camel casing by default, you have to provide that option when creating the DefaultContractResolver:

DefaultContractResolver contractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver
{
    NamingStrategy = new CamelCaseNamingStrategy()
};

The docs go into more details.
