DataKnitter

Test data that makes sense in C# for different and common conceptual entities: names, companies, projects, etc.

Code be like

    bool includeAddress = true, includeContact = true;
    var options = new JsonSerializerOptions
    {
        WriteIndented = true,
        Encoder = System.Text.Encodings.Web.JavaScriptEncoder.UnsafeRelaxedJsonEscaping
    };
    var knitter = new Knitter(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-ca"));

    Person person = knitter.KnitPerson(includeAddress, includeContact);
    Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(person, options));

    Company company = knitter.KnitCompany(includeAddress);
    Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(company, options));

outputs the following object
