    {
        o.UseAttributeDefinition();
    }));

    {
        o.UseAttributeDefinition();
    }));
});

// TestClass.cs
[SerializationFormat("testClass", "testClasses")]
public class TestClassPresenter
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Dictionary Definitions

var serializationDefinitions = new Dictionary<Type, string> 
{ 
    { typeof(TestClass), "testClass" },
    { typeof(List<TestClass>), "testClasses" }
}; 
services.AddMvc(options => 
{ 
    options.InputFormatters.Insert(0, new RootNameInputFormatter(o =>
    {
        o.UseExplicitDefinition(serializationDefinitions);
    }));
    options.OutputFormatters.Insert(0, new RootNameOutputFormatter(o =>
