serify — C# worker library

C# / .NET worker library for serify, a cross-language serialization conformance harness.

You define a schema and test cases once; each target language ships a small worker program that serializes and deserializes the data, and the serify CLI drives every worker through the same cases and compares their output byte-for-byte. This package is what a C# worker references.

Install

dotnet add package Serify

Usage

[SerifyModel] plus one [SerifyField] per property is the binding. You supply the byte layout and register it per format:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Serify;

[SerifyModel]
internal sealed class UserRecord
{
    [SerifyField("user_id")] public ulong UserId { get; set; }
    [SerifyField] public string Username { get; set; } = "";
    [SerifyField] public float Score { get; set; }

    public byte[] Marshal() { /* your byte layout */ }
    public static UserRecord Unmarshal(byte[] data) { /* its inverse */ }
}

internal static class Program
{
    private static void Main()
    {
        Serify.Worker.RunSuite(new Dictionary<string, TypeEntry>
        {
            ["user"] = TypeEntry.Model<UserRecord>(new()
            {
                ["binary"] = (u => u.Marshal(), UserRecord.Unmarshal),
            }),
        });
    }
}

[SerifyField("key")] renames a property's schema key; a bare [SerifyField] uses the property name. Nested classes work by attributing the nested type.

RunSuite takes over stdin/stdout to speak the NDJSON protocol the CLI drives, so a worker's own output must go to stderr.
