.Net Core: controlling Json generated by Controller.Json method

Question

By default, Controller.Json generates JSON for each public member of a class. How can I change this so that some members are ignored. Please note that I am using .Net Core.

Example:

[HttpGet("/api/episodes")]
public IActionResult GetEpisodes()
{
  var episodes = _podcastProvider.Get();

  return Json(episodes);
}

Thanks.

You can use [JsonIgnore] attribute that available in Newtonsoft.Json namespace like below:

public class Model
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string Name { get; set; }
   [JsonIgnore]
   public int Age { get; set; }
}
