Serialize enum as a string in JSON.NET using attributes

Question

I want to serialize enum as string using JSON.NET using attributes similar to [JsonIgnore]

Example class:

enum Gender { Male, Female }
c         


        

Answer 1

Have a look at [JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]. Should do what you want.

Edit: http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Converters_StringEnumConverter.htm provides some info.
