Description

When generating a server stub, cpp-restbed-server in my case, all functions reading the values through the keys of a JSON request will automatically stripe certain special characters from the keys set the first letter to uppercase and add an underscore to certain keywords (e.g. operator). This causes the pt.put(), pt.get() etc, which apparently are case sensitive to fail aquiring and passing data to and from a JSON file/array.

The OAS also states that keys are case sensitive

All field names in the specification are case sensitive. This includes all fields that are used as keys in a map, except where explicitly noted that keys are case insensitive.

I haven't confirmed if any other languages/generators are affected by this problem, but it might be possible!

Generates the following function toJsonString():

std::string DemoSchema::toJsonString()
{
	std::stringstream ss;
	ptree pt;
	pt.put("dollarsign", m_dollarsign); // should be "$dollarsign"
	pt.put("paragraph", m_paragraph); // should be "§paragraph"
	pt.put("_operator", m__operator); // should be "operator"
	pt.put("Firstupper", m_Firstupper); // alright
	pt.put("Noupper", m_Noupper); // should be "noupper"
	pt.put("MidUpper", m_MidUpper); // should be "midUpper"
	pt.put("ALLUPPER", m_ALLUPPER); // alright
	write_json(ss, pt, false);
	return ss.str();
}

Command line used for generation

java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i .\caseSensitive.yaml -g cpp-restbed-server -o .\openapi-server\

Steps to reproduce

Simply don't use an uppercase letter as first character for a property key.
