Need jsonNode.parse to do a case insensitive match in VB.Net

Question

I can successfully parse the specific JSON data from a JSON file. The issue is that the file I am parsing is inconsistant with the letter case. So I need to do a case insensitive match instead of the default case sensitive match. I Google search this and it appears to be possible, but none of the examples are for jsonNode.Parse. Here is my code so far.

Using reader As New StreamReader(ext_manifest)
    Do Until reader.EndOfStream
        node_data = reader.ReadToEnd
    Loop
End Using

           
Dim node As JsonNode = JsonNode.Parse(node_data)
first_name = node("name").ToString
msgbox(first_name)

This gets results as long as the word casing I specify matches the one in the file. However, the word case seems to inconsistant in the file itself

usually this matches sense if you are binding to an object, but it doesnt look like you are binding to any object, so not sure how this makes sense or what you are matching or not matching against given you are using a generic object — Ctznkane525

I just want to get the value the "name" key and for it to not matter if the name key in the JSON file is in caps, mixed or in lower case. — rerat

I just converted jsonNode result to lower case and now it does not matter what case the key name is in.

Using reader As New StreamReader(ext_manifest)
    Do Until reader.EndOfStream
        node_data = reader.ReadToEnd
    Loop
End Using

       
Dim node As JsonNode = JsonNode.Parse(node_data.tolower)
first_name = node("name").ToString
msgbox(first_name)
