ListToXmlOrJson ✨

A Simple & Elegant .NET Data Export Utility

.NET Version
NuGet Version
No Dependencies

Effortlessly export any List<T> to JSON or XML files with just one line of code! Built with native .NET libraries – no external dependencies.

🚀 Features

✔ One-method solution – Simple and intuitive API
✔ Supports any object type – Fully generic implementation
✔ Native .NET serialization – Uses System.Text.Json and System.Xml.Serialization
✔ Lightweight – Zero external dependencies
✔ Robust error handling – Validates inputs and throws meaningful exceptions

📦 Installation

Via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package ListToXmlOrJson

Or using .NET CLI:

dotnet add package ListToXmlOrJson

🛠 Usage

1️⃣ Define your model

//Example code:
public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

2️⃣ Prepare your data

//Example code:
var people = new List<Person>
{
    new Person { Name = "John", Age = 30 },
    new Person { Name = "Mary", Age = 25 }
};

3️⃣ Export to JSON or XML

//Example code:
using ListToXmlOrJson;

// Export to JSON
ExportData<Person>.SaveData("people", people, ExportData<Person>.FileFormat.Json);

// Export to XML
ExportData<Person>.SaveData("people", people, ExportData<Person>.FileFormat.Xml);

This generates:

📄 people.json

📄 people.xml
