Serialize a JSON object named "return"

I am trying to write a ticker against the Mt Gox Http API. It returns JSON, which looks like this:

{ "result":"success", "return": { "high": {"value":"5.70653","value_int":"570653","display":"$5.70653","currency":"USD"}, "low": {"value":"5.4145","value_int":"541450","display":"$5.41450","currency":"USD"}, "avg": {"value":"5.561119626","value_int":"556112","display":"$5.56112","currency":"USD"}, "vwap": {"value":"5.610480461","value_int":"561048","display":"$5.61048","currency":"USD"}, "vol": {"value":"55829.58960346","value_int":"5582958960346","display":"55,829.58960346\u00a0BTC","currency":"BTC"}, "last_all":{"value":"5.5594","value_int":"555940","display":"$5.55940","currency":"USD"}, "last_local":{"value":"5.5594","value_int":"555940","display":"$5.55940","currency":"USD"}, "last_orig":{"value":"5.5594","value_int":"555940","display":"$5.55940","currency":"USD"}, "last":{"value":"5.5594","value_int":"555940","display":"$5.55940","currency":"USD"}, "buy":{"value":"5.53587","value_int":"553587","display":"$5.53587","currency":"USD"}, "sell":{"value":"5.56031","value_int":"556031","display":"$5.56031","currency":"USD"} } }

I am trying to pass this information to an object. I created a set of classes that look like this:

 [DataContract] class MtGoxResponse { public string result { get; set; } [DataMember(Name="return")] public Resp Resp { get; set; } } [DataContract] class Resp { public HLA high { get; set; } public HLA low { get; set; } public HLA avg { get; set; } public HLA vwap { get; set; } public HLA vol { get; set; } public HLA last_all { get; set; } public HLA last_local { get; set; } public HLA last_orig { get; set; } public HLA last { get; set; } public HLA buy { get; set; } public HLA sell { get; set; } } [DataContract] class HLA { public double value { get; set; } public int value_int { get; set; } public string display { get; set; } public string currency { get; set; } }

Result goes through every time, but Resp always zero. Am I missing something with DataContract attributes? I assume the main reason is the name of the object, but of course there is a way around it.

I don’t know exactly why your [DataMember] not working. From what I read, [DataMember] seems to be interpreted differently for implementing serializers, so it could be a mistake.

However, you can remove the need to use it by simply using the @ sign before return , for example:

 [DataContract] class MtGoxResponse { public string result { get; set; } public Resp @return { get; set; } }

This prefix is ​​mentioned somewhat passively on the MSDN page for C # keywords .
