ContentApiModel json formatted incorrectly

We have a weird issue with formatting of ContentApiModel to JSON.

// Startup.cs
services.UseNewtonsoftSerialization(assembly, settings =>
{
	settings.Converters.Add(new StringEnumConverter(new DefaultNamingStrategy()));
	settings.ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver();
	settings.StringEscapeHandling = StringEscapeHandling.EscapeHtml;
	settings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
});
...
services.AddCms();
...

// api controller, _contentApiOptions is injected in constructor

[HttpGet]
[Route("{contentLinkId:int?}")]
public IActionResult GetAll([FromRoute] int? contentLinkId = null)
{
	var content = new List<ContentApiModel>();
	var language = LanguageSelector.AutoDetect(true).Language;
	foreach (var page in GetAllResellers(contentLinkId))
	{
		var model = _contentConverter.Convert(page, new ConverterContext(page.ContentLink, language, _contentApiOptions, 
			ContextMode.Default, null, "*", false));
		content.Add(model);
	}

	return new JsonFormattedResult(content);
}

Resulting JSON, some properties are propper CamelCase - some are not.

Any ideas?

All the custom added page properties is not proper camelcase.

Are you supposed to use something else than 'DefaultContentConverter' or 'JsonFormattedResult' to get it to format correctly.

Try setting this way, I think content delivery uses its own settings.

 services.ConfigureContentDeliveryApiSerializer(settings =>
            {
                settings.NullValueHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.NullValueHandling.Ignore;
            });

Interesting. Did not know about that configuration option - the content delivery api response is however is correct.

This is a custom api controller. - The answer after a long search was this.

Use the DefaultContractResolver, with a CamelCaseNamingStrategy and all ctor parameters to 'true'.
