How to deserialize the "ref" parameter

Question

I am trying to parse a json file that contains a parameter named ref. I am deserializing into a class structure:

public class JiveContentObject
{
   public int id { get; set;}
   public string subject { get; set;}
   ..etc
}

however I cannot write exactly public string ref {get; set;}

as it ref

is a keyword in C #. Is there a way to get around this?

Prefix the identifier with @

:

public class JiveContentObject
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string subject { get; set; }
    public string @ref { get; set; }
}

This is exactly what it exists for.
