C# JSON convert enums to/from strings

Question

There is a question about generically converting enums to/from strings. This questions is a little different.

Is there a way in an ASP.NET Web API 2 app to define the controller API for a call where it will receive/return JSON where the property is a string in the JSON, but it is declared as an enum?

If you are using JSON.NET, you can use the following attribute for your Enum object-

[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
