❔ problem loading json into dynamic object

I have a problem loading a json file into a dynamic object in c#. My problem is that some parameters of the c# file have a "-" in the keyword, such as the "official-artwork" parameter. Under what name can I access it now? My Code:

string json = "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/pikachu";
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);
      Console.WriteLine(data.sprites.other.official_artwork.front_default);

string json = "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/pikachu";
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);
      Console.WriteLine(data.sprites.other.official_artwork.front_default);

You shouldn't be using dynamic And it's recommended not to use NewtonSoft There are Json to c# generators online, and visual studio allows you to paste Json as c# classes as well

To answer your actual question, afaik both Newtonsoft and System.Text.Json (the newer generally better library) allows you to specify the JSON names for each property in a class. Which is also why you shouldn't be using dynamic

whats wrong with newtonsoft? And how exactly can i paste json as c# classes in vs?

Newtonsoft is just kinda... outdated? System.Text.Json is built-in, faster, and can do everything that Newtonsoft can. Afaik it's a button under "edit" which says "paste special"

Not actually everything, but most of it.

Yeah although I think it covers most the features most people need
