c# - Changing property names for serializing

Question

My class has a property 'PropertyA', I want this to appear as 'PropertyB' in a JSON object when it's serialized. Is there any sort of attribute I can use?

Answer 1

For Json.NET and DataContractJsonSerializer use DataMemberAttribute:

[DataMember(Name="PropertyB")]
T PropertyA { ... }

Make sure that your class is decorated with the [DataContract] attribute as well.

If you're using JavaScriptSerializer, you need to create derived implementation, as described here: JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize - how to change field names
