Json.Net 1.0.5

Json.Net

Minimalistic JSON handler

Usage instructions

Define a POCO class, with just field definitions.

class Pet
{
  public int id;
  public string name;
}

Serializing an object:

var petJson = JsonNet.Serialize(originalPet, true);

petJson's value:

{
	"id" : 1,
	"name" : "gucci",
	"birth" : "12/12/2018 14:13:46",
	"alive" : true,
	"gender" : 1,
	"dictType" : {
		"Key1" : "Value1",
		"Key2" : "Value2"
	},
	"intArray" : [
		1,
		2,
		3
	]
}

Deserializing from JSON string:

var restoredPet = JsonNet.Deserialize<Pet>(petJson);

Custom type converters

You can define and use custom type converters to control serialization/deserialization.

var dateConverter = 
  new JsonConverter<DateTime>(
    dt => dt.ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
    s => DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
  
var petJson = JsonNet.Serialize(originalPet, false, dateConverter);

petJson's value:

{"id":1,"name":"gucci","birth":"2018-12-12T14:13:46","alive":true,"gender":1,"dictType":{"Key1":"Value1","Key2":"Value2"},"intArray":[1,2,3]}
