JSON Serialization only works on Properties by default, that is one of the main reasons to choose between using Fields or Properties

As a C# developer I assume you've read Why Properties Matter (by the illustrious Jon Skeet)

For response serialization your application is probably configured to use System.Text.Json, which by default ignores fields as described here: link

However you are able to make fields serializable by adding corresponding attribute: another link
