I have a basic ASP.NET Web API project. When I send a request, the serialization is done using System.Text.Json. However, when I send a non-valid json, for example text instead of number, it returns a binding validation error:

{
    "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc9110#section-15.5.1",
    "title": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
    "status": 400,
    "errors": {
        "model": [
            "The model field is required."
        ],
        "$.items[0].price": [
            "The JSON value could not be converted to System.String. Path: $.items[0].price | LineNumber: 4 | BytePositionInLine: 24."
        ]
    }
}

I'm having a bit of a problem with the name of the property $.items[0].price. It bothers me the character - $. I tried to search if there is any way to make my PropertyNameSolver, but I didn't find anything. I know that you can do a replace in the property name, but I really don't like that...

Is there maybe some elegant way to change the property name and its wording?

Thanks

  • $ just stands for the root of the JSON ..... $.items[0].price means: the first items element in the root, and then its price field Commented Jul 21 at 18:54
  • Thank you for response. Yeah, I get that, but I don't want that in there. Commented Jul 21 at 19:47
  • What do you mean by I don't want that in there ? That's just the standard JSON notation of how to address specific elements in a JSON document - that's the way it's defined - whether you want it or not.... Commented Jul 21 at 20:01
  • I'm not entirely sure that's standard. For example, newtonsoft doesn't do it. Commented Jul 22 at 5:41
