Serialize .Net object to json, controlled using xml attributes
- by sprocketonline
I have a .Net object which I've been serializing to Xml and is decorated with Xml attributes.  I would now like to serialize the same object to Json, preferably using the Newtonsoft Json.Net library.
I'd like to go directly from the .Net object in memory to a Json string (without serializing to Xml first).  I do not wish to add any Json attributes to the class, but instead would like for the Json serializer use the existing Xml attributes.
[XmlRoot("hello")]
public class world{
    [XmlIgnore]
    public int ignoreMe{ get; }
    [XmlElement("foo")]
    public int bar{ get; }
    [XmlElement("marco")]
    public int polo{ get; }
}
becomes
"hello":{
    "foo":0,
    "marco":0
}
