ASP.NET MVC Data annotations for json key

Question

I Have a model in ASP.Net MVC something like this one.

public class DataTable
        {
            public int RecordsTotal { get; set; }

            public int RecordsFiltered { get; set; }

            public int Draw { get; set; }

        }

It is possible to output this as a JSON with putting a Data Annotation in every property? The output should be something like this.

{
recordsTotal:10,
recordsFiltered:10,
draw:1 
}

Thanks!

Data annotation that will transform RecordsTotal into a key recordsTotal. When returning a json to client/browser. — jmvtrinidad

Is the only difference here capitalization? Otherwise, returning a JSON object will take care of that by default: { RecordsTotal:10, RecordsFiltered:10, Draw:1 } — johnnyRose

Yes, the only thing that I want is returning it as a CamelCase. — jmvtrinidad

You can return an object that looks exactly like the one you posted aside from the capital letter at the beginning:

return Json(new DataTable() {
    RecordsTotal = 10,
    RecordsFiltered = 10,
    Draw = 1
});

If you really need a lowercase property name then there are existing questions that answer this.
