Deserializing JSON when fieldnames contain spaces

Question

I'm writing a tool to read JSON files. I'm using the NewtonSoft tool to deserialize the JSOn to a C# class. Here's an example fragment:

 "name": "Fubar",
 ".NET version": "4.0",
 "binding type": "HTTP",

The field names contain spaces and other characters (the .) that are invalid in C# identifiers. What is the correct way to do this?

(Unfortunately I don't have the option of changing the JSON format.)

Answer 1

Use the JsonProperty attribute to indicate the name in the JSON. e.g.

[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "binding type")]
public string BindingType { get; set; }
