Baghel.Tip.TransactionStandard.AspNetCore 0.2.1

Tip.TransactionStandard

Tip.TransactionStandard is a contract-first .NET library for the Television Interface Practices Initiative (TIP) APIs, designed for NuGet consumption in both client and server applications.

This rewrite aligns with the TIP OpenAPI definitions from tip-initiative/tip-initiative-apis, with the current implementation focused on the logtimes, commercialInstructions, rfps, proposals, orders, inventoryAvails, invoice, makegoods, creativeAssets, impressionssub, audiences, and sellerPoliticalCompetitive workflows plus the shared common contracts they depend on.

What the package includes

• Strongly typed TIP contracts for shared objects, logtimes, commercialInstructions, rfps, proposals, orders, inventoryAvails, invoice, makegoods, creativeAssets, impressionssub, audiences, and sellerPoliticalCompetitive
• JSON serialization helpers for application/json
• XML serialization helpers for application/xml
• Recursive validation without throwing in property setters
• HttpContent helpers for TIP client integrations
• ASP.NET Core registration helpers for server-side content negotiation
• Contract tests against TIP-style JSON, XML, and OpenAPI fixtures

Supported .NET versions

The package targets net8.0.

That is intentional: on April 19, 2026, the actively supported modern .NET trains from Microsoft are .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10, and a net8.0 package is consumable from those supported runtimes while keeping the dependency surface as broad as possible. Source: official .NET support policy.

Quick start

using Tip.TransactionStandard.Contracts.LogTimes;
using Tip.TransactionStandard.Serialization;
using Tip.TransactionStandard.Validation;

var request = TipPayloadSerializer.DeserializeJson<SellerLogtimesRequest>(json);
var issues = TipValidator.ValidateObject(request);

if (issues.Count == 0)
{
    var xml = TipPayloadSerializer.SerializeXml(request);
}

ASP.NET Core:

builder.Services
    .AddControllers()
    .AddTipTransactionStandard();
