Using Newtsonsoft JSON, is it possible to use either the JsonProperty or the C# Property name when deserializing? Basically, is there an option I am missing that allows both of the example JSON files below to be deserialized?

C# Class

public class MyClass 
{
    [JsonProperty("CustomerName")]
    public string ExternalId { get; set; }
}

First JSON File

{
    "ExternalId":"Test1"
}

Second JSON File

{
   "CustomerName":"Test2"
}

Simple solution: add both properties to your class and have them use the same backing field. – DavidG Apr 12 '18 at 09:52
I had considered that but its really ugly (code wise) – Jason H Apr 12 '18 at 10:01
Sometimes ugly is all you have :) – DavidG Apr 12 '18 at 10:01
@DavidG Thank you, your solution did work and I used the SO Question you said is a duplicate as the backing of my solution. Thank you. – Jason H Apr 12 '18 at 10:09
