Json.Net serialize/deserialize Class Name attribute C#

Question

Sorry for the (maybe) trivial question but, I'm trying to consume a web service where the entities and my data model classes are named different.

I want to keep my model .Net Class name and use a Json Attribute name to map, serializer/deserializer, with the corresponding web service entity. For example:

Web Service Entity:

"People"

My Model Class:

"Employee"

What I've already do:

[JsonObject(Title="People")]
public class Employee 
{

   [JsonProperty("DifferentPropertyName")]
   string propertyName1 { get; set; }
}

But the json serializer/Deserializer continues to use the .Net class name and I need to set the jsonObject Title.

There is a way to achieve it?

EDIT

I'm working on a Xamarin Forms app, using Simple.OData.Client to consume an OData Service

Thanks

Answer 1

DataContractAttribute may be your solution.

public class RichFilter
{
   public Trolo item { get; set; }
}
[DataContract(Name = "item")]
public class Trolo 
{ 
   public string connector { get; set; } 
}

If you serialize a RichFilter object, here is the output :

{"item":{"connector":"AND"}}
