How to serialize enums to different property name using json.net

Question

I have the following enum

public enum PermissionType
{
  [JsonProperty(PropertyName = \"can_fly\")]
  PermissionToFly,
  [JsonProperty(PropertyName = \"can_s         


        

Answer 1

Looks like you can make this work using the EnumMember attribute (found in System.Runtime.Serialization).

public enum PermissionType
{
    [EnumMember(Value = "can_fly")]
    PermissionToFly,

    [EnumMember(Value = "can_swim")]
    PermissionToSwim
}

If you use those attributes you should also not need to set the ItemConverterType in the JsonProperty attribute on the list.
