JSON parser does not accept camel-case fieldnames.

BJF could be fixed to allow JSON field names in camelCase or sname_case. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Make a .proto file with a snake_case field_name.
2. Generate JSON from protobuf using https://github.com/chrisdew/protobuf/
3. The JSON will have a camelCase fieldName
4. PJF will fail to parse the JSON.

e.g.

1. download pjf_empty_object.tgz
2. extract it (tar -xzvf pjf_empty_object.tgz)
3. cd pjf_empty_object
4. make clean && make && make run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected:

textJson: {"text":"foo"}
textPdu: {"text": "foo"}
authAckJson: {"authAck":{}}
authAckPdu: {"authAck": {}}

actual:

textJson: {"text":"foo"}
textPdu: {"text": "foo"}
authAckJson: {"authAck":{}}
