c# - Parsing field name with a colon in JSON

Question

How can we parse if json fields contains a colon(:)? Like this:

{
  "dc:creator":"Jordan, Micheal",
  "element:publicationName":"Applied Ergonomics",
  "element:issn":"2839749823"
}

In fact I wonder how to do this with a library like restsharp, for mapping?

Answer 1

Using Json.Net

string json = @"{
            ""dc:creator"":""Jordan, Micheal"",
            ""element:publicationName"":""Applied Ergonomics"",
            ""element:issn"":""2839749823""
        }";

var pub = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Publication>(json);

---

public class Publication
{
    [JsonProperty("dc:creator")]
    public string creator { set; get; }
    [JsonProperty("element:publicationName")]
    public string publicationName { set; get; }
    [JsonProperty("element:issn")]
    public string issn { set; get; }
}

OR

Console.WriteLine(JObject.Parse(json)["dc:creator"]);
