c# - JObject & CamelCase conversion with JSON.Net

Question

How can I convert a generic JObject to camelCase plain json string? I've tried with JsonSerializerSettings but doesn't work (Newtonsoft.Json 4.5.11)

[Test]
public void should_convert_to_camel_case()
{
    var serializer = JsonSerializer.Create(new JsonSerializerSettings()
    {
        ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
    });

    var jo = new JObject();
    jo["CamelCase"] = 1;

    var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
    var writer = new JsonTextWriter(stringWriter);
    serializer.Serialize(writer,jo);

    var serialized = stringWriter.ToString();

    Assert.AreEqual("{"camelCase":1}", serialized);
}

UPDATE According to http://json.codeplex.com/workitem/23853 that cannot be done (tnx to @nick_w for the link)

Answer 1

This question starts from a JObject and wants to work to a camel-cased JSON object. If you are actually starting from an object and want to get to a JObject that is already camelcased, then you can do this:

var serializer = new JsonSerializer()
{
    ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
};
var jo = JObject.FromObject(someDataContract, serializer);

The resulting 'jo' will be camelcased.
