AgileCoding.Extensions.Prototype

Overview

AgileCoding.Extensions.Prototype is a .NET library that provides several useful extension methods related to the Prototype Pattern, enabling different types of deep object copying. This package offers high-speed serialization using various techniques.

Installation

This library is distributed via NuGet. To install it, use the NuGet package manager console:

bashCopy code

Install-Package AgileCoding.Extensions.Prototype -Version 2.0.5

Features

This library introduces the following extension methods:

1. DeepBinaryCopy: Returns a deep copy of the object using binary serialization.
2. DeepXMLCopy: Returns a deep copy of the object using XML serialization.
3. DeepJSONNewtonsoftCopy: Returns a deep copy of the object using Newtonsoft JSON serialization.

Please note, DeepBinaryCopy requires that all types used in the copy are Serializable. DeepXMLCopy and DeepJSONNewtonsoftCopy require all types to have a parameterless constructor.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use these features in your code:

using AgileCoding.Extentions.Prototypes.Serialization;

// Get a deep binary copy of an object
MyClass myObject = new MyClass();
MyClass myBinaryCopy = myObject.DeepBinaryCopy();

// Get a deep XML copy of an object
MyClass myXMLCopy = myObject.DeepXMLCopy();

// Get a deep JSON copy of an object using Newtonsoft
MyClass myJSONCopy = myObject.DeepJSONNewtonsoftCopy();
