How to set json field name from property value in run-time .net

How to serialize an object to json through setting json field name from object’s property value?

I am using NewtonsoftJson as a json library.

public class Data
{
  public string Question {get;set;} = "Test Question?";
  public string Answer {get;set;} = "5";
}

expected json output:

{
  "Test Question?": {
    "Answer": "5"
  }
}

    You can use a dictionary for that:

    JsonSerializer.Serialize(
    new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        {
            data.Question, new
            {
                data.Answer
            }
        }
    });

    or if you are using Newtonsoft, you can use the
    JsonConvert.SerializeObject method for serialization, with the same input.

    Just for a record

    var data = new Data();

string json = new JObject { [data.Question] = new JObject { ["Answer"] = data.Answer } }.ToString();
