API Reference

Class Method Description
T ToJson Serializes an object to a JSON string.
T ToFormattedJson Serializes an object to a formatted JSON string.
T ToJsonFile Serializes an object and writes the JSON to a file.
T ToFormattedJsonFile Serializes an object with formatting and writes the JSON to a file.
string FromJson<T> Deserializes a JSON string to an object.
string FromFormattedJson<T> Deserializes formatted JSON using configurable options.
string FromJsonFile<T> Reads a JSON file and deserializes its content.
string FromFormattedJsonFile<T> Reads a formatted JSON file and deserializes its content.

T.ToJson

Serializes an object to a JSON string using System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.

Parameter Type Default Description
options JsonSerializerOptions? null The options used for serialization.

Return type: string - The serialized JSON.

var json = employee.ToJson();

T.ToFormattedJson

Serializes an object to a formatted JSON string. By default, output is indented, enums are represented as strings, and properties with default values are omitted.

Parameter Type Default Description
indented bool true Whether to format the JSON with indentation.
enumsAsStrings bool true Whether to serialize enums as strings.
skipDefaultValues bool true Whether to omit properties with default values.

Return type: string - The formatted JSON.

var json = employee.ToFormattedJson();
var compactJson = employee.ToFormattedJson(indented: false);

T.ToJsonFile

Serializes an object to JSON and writes the result to a file.

Parameter Type Default Description
filename string Required The path of the file to write.
options JsonSerializerOptions? null The options used for serialization. 
employee.ToJsonFile("employee.json");

T.ToFormattedJsonFile

Serializes an object with formatting options and writes the result to a file.

Parameter Type Default Description
filename string Required The path of the file to write.
indented bool true Whether to format the JSON with indentation.
enumsAsStrings bool true Whether to serialize enums as strings.
skipDefaultValues bool true Whether to omit properties with default values. 
employee.ToFormattedJsonFile("employee.json");

string.FromJson<T>

Deserializes a JSON string to an object of type T using System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.

Parameter Type Default Description
options JsonSerializerOptions? null The options used for deserialization.

Return type: T - The deserialized object.

var employee = json.FromJson<Employee>();

string.FromFormattedJson<T>

Deserializes formatted JSON using configurable enum conversion and case-insensitive property matching.

Parameter Type Default Description
enumsAsStrings bool true Whether enum values are represented as strings.
ignoreCase bool true Whether property name matching ignores case.

Return type: T - The deserialized object.

var employee = json.FromFormattedJson<Employee>();

string.FromJsonFile<T>

Reads a JSON file and deserializes its content to an object of type T.

Parameter Type Default Description
options JsonSerializerOptions? null The options used for deserialization.

Return type: T - The deserialized object.

var employee = "employee.json".FromJsonFile<Employee>();

string.FromFormattedJsonFile<T>

Reads a formatted JSON file and deserializes its content using configurable enum conversion and case-insensitive property matching.

Parameter Type Default Description
enumsAsStrings bool true Whether enum values are represented as strings.
ignoreCase bool true Whether property name matching ignores case.

Return type: T - The deserialized object.

var employee = "employee.json".FromFormattedJsonFile<Employee>();
