The existing message "Could not find member '{0}' on object of type '{1}'" is not very clear if the problem is a missing property in the JSON string or if it is missing in the .NET object.
The new message "The JSON property '{0}' does not exist on object of type '{1}'" is more clear that there IS a JSON property but there is no corresponding member on the .NET object.

Could not find member '{0}' on object of type '{1}'toThe JSON property '{0}' does not exist on object of type '{1}'The existing message is not very clear about if the problem is a missing property in the JSON string or if it is missing in the .NET object.
The new message is more clear that a JSON property exists and it does not correspond to a member on the .NET object.
While this is not too difficult to figure out for a developer well versed in the library, in my use case I show these messages to administrators who are likely thinking that "Could not find" means they have to add that thing to the json string they entered.
Also, my editor removed some trailing spaces as you can see in the diffs. Let me know if you want me to undo those whitespace changes.
