JSON serialization of c# enum as string
- by ob
I have a class that contains an enum property, and upon serializing the object using JavaScriptSerializer, my json result contains the integer value of the enumeration rather than its string "name". Is there a way to get the enum as a string in my json without having to create a custom JavaScriptConverter? Perhaps there's an attribute that I could decorate the enum definition, or object property, with?
As an example:
enum Gender { Male, Female }
class Person
{
int Age { get; set; }
Gender Gender { get; set; }
}
desired json result:
{ "Age": 35, "Gender": "Male" }
