❔ Deserializing JSON

I'm working on a project where I need to deserialize a JSON api response, and do things with the data. This is a little demo thing:

class Response {
    [JsonProperty("success")]
    [DefaultValue(false)]
    public bool Success { get; private set; }

    [JsonProperty("days")]
    public Days Days { get; private set; }
}

class Days {
    [JsonProperty("first_day")]
    [DefaultValue("monday")]
    public string FirstDay { get; private set; }
}

class Response {
    [JsonProperty("success")]
    [DefaultValue(false)]
    public bool Success { get; private set; }

    [JsonProperty("days")]
    public Days Days { get; private set; }
}

class Days {
    [JsonProperty("first_day")]
    [DefaultValue("monday")]
    public string FirstDay { get; private set; }
}

My issue is, I need to be able to use

Response.Days.FirstDay

Response.Days.FirstDay

, when my JSON response looks like this:

{'success': true, 'first_night': 'friday'}

{'success': true, 'first_night': 'friday'}

Essentially, I want the

DefaultValue

DefaultValue

to be present, even if the JSON doesn't contain the

'first_day'

'first_day'

key.
I'm really not sure how to do this, because I'd need to do this with dozens of attributes in about 6 subclasses, so doing it all manually would take ages and doesn't seem good for maintainability.

Any help on how I can achieve this result? To get everything to 'exist' even if it doesn't exist in the JSON, just by using the default value?
