multiple JsonProperty Name assigned to single property
Tricking custom JsonConverter worked for me. Thanks @khaled4vokalz, @Khanh TO
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
object instance = objectType.GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes).Invoke(null);
PropertyInfo[] props = objectType.GetProperties();
JObject jo = JObject.Load(reader);
foreach (JProperty jp in jo.Properties())
{
if (string.Equals(jp.Name, "name1", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) || string.Equals(jp.Name, "name2", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
PropertyInfo prop = props.FirstOrDefault(pi =>
pi.CanWrite && string.Equals(pi.Name, "CodeModel", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
if (prop != null)
prop.SetValue(instance, jp.Value.ToObject(prop.PropertyType, serializer));
}
}
return instance;
}
I had the same use case, though in Java.

We can use a
@JsonProperty("main_label_to_serialize_and_deserialize")
@JsonAlias("Alternate_label_if_found_in_json_will_be_deserialized")
In your use case you could do
@JsonProperty("name1")
@JsonAlias("name2")
A simple solution which does not require a converter: just add a second, private property to your class, mark it with [JsonProperty("name2")]
, and have it set the first property:
public class Specifications
{
[JsonProperty("name1")]
public string CodeModel { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("name2")]
private string CodeModel2 { set { CodeModel = value; } }
}
