How do I override a name in JSON returned by ASP.NET

Question

I have the following code in an ASP.NET Web API 2 app:

[DataMember(Name = "override")]
public bool? _override;

But the JSON I receive has that member named _override, not override. How can I change the naming in the JSON?

Answer 1

As asp.Net web API 2 uses Json.NET internally for json serialization/deserialization,

JsonProperty attribute can be used to override property name on serialization.

so [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "override")] should do the trick.

Thanks.
