RestSharp JsonDeserializer with special characters in identifiers

From looking at the RestSharp source it's possible to enable it to do data contract deserialization, this seems to require a change of the RestSharp source.

Search for //#define SIMPLE_JSON_DATACONTRACT in SimpleJson.cs

Then you'll need to create the data contracts as well (see "@attr" below):

[DataContract]public class SomeJson{    [DataMember(Name = "toptags")]    public Tags TopTags { get; set; }}[DataContract]public class Tags{    [DataMember(Name = "@attr")]    public Attr Attr { get; set; }}[DataContract]public class Attr{    [DataMember(Name = "artist")]    public string Artist { get; set; }    [DataMember(Name = "album")]    public string Album { get; set; }}

Didn't try it with RestSharp, but it works with this piece of code, RestSharp uses DataContractJsonSerializer, possibly you will have to set the

SimpleJson.CurrentJsonSerializerStrategy =                       SimpleJson.DataContractJsonSerializerStrategy

My test:

var json = "{ \"toptags\":{ \"@attr\":{ \"artist\":\"Whatever\", \"album\":\"Whatever\" }}}";var serializer = new  DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(SomeJson));var result = (SomeJson)serializer.ReadObject(                               new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(json)));
