Using an invalid C# keyword name when exporting to JSON

Question

I am using a third party api that expects JSON with keyword names like "key-name".

Using Entity Framework I do the following

var result = _context.data.Select(d => new 
{
    keyName = x.name
});
return Json(new {result = result});

Is there a way to use the appropriate value without replacing the strings after generation manually?

Answer 1

You can create a new class for json result.
e.g:

public class JsonResult{

[JsonProperty(Name="key-name")]
   public string KeyName{get;set;}
}

var result = _context.data.Select(d => new JsonResult
{
    KeyName = x.name
});
return Json(new {result = result});
