Json.Net Resolving Property Names Properly

Question

I am getting some data that looks like below JSON from an API

{
    body_html: \"
Test
\",
    id: \"cu1bpkz\",
    link_id: \"d3_3kkgis\",
           


        

Answer 1

Use the JsonPropertyAttribute like so:

[JsonProperty("author_flair_text")]
public string AuthorFlairText { get; set; }

This ensures it'll take the right name, different from the property in code.

Edit: You can also use this tool for larger json files, it generates classes for your data: http://json2csharp.com/
