How to check a Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject for certain value?

Question

I have a

Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject jsonObject

with the content

{
    "status": 0
}

I can check if the value "status" exists with the following code:

IJsonValue j;
bool statusValueExists = jsonObject.TryGetValue("status", out j);

Is there another way to check for the existance of value "status" that does not need an IJsonValue-object (here: j) and does not need a try-catch?

You can use the ContainsKey method:

if (jsonObject.ContainsKey("name"))
{ }
