Default camel case of property names in JSON serialization

c#, camelcasing, json, json.net

Solution

You can use the provided class Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver:

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

In other words, you don't have to create a custom resolver yourself.

Problem

I have a bunch of classes that will be serialized to JSON at some point and for the sake of following both C# conventions on the back-end and JavaScript conventions on the front-end, I've been defining properties like this: ``` [JsonProperty(PropertyName="myFoo")] public int MyFoo { get; set; } ``` So that in C# I can: ``` MyFoo = 10; ``` And in Javascript I can: ``` if (myFoo === 10) ``` But doing this for every property is tedious. Is there a quick and easy way to set the default way JSON.Net handles property names so it will automatically camel case unless told otherwise?
