Dev.Util.Json

Streamlined JSON serialization and deep-copying utilities for the Dev.Util ecosystem. Built on System.Text.Json for ultimate performance.

NuGet Version

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Dev.Util.Json

✨ Features

  • 🚀 Fluent Serialization: ToJson() and FromJson<T>() extensions for all objects.
  • 🧬 Deep Cloning: Create absolute, disconnected copies of complex object graphs.
  • ⚙️ Configurable: Access global or per-call JsonSerializerOptions.
  • 📦 Clean Deserialization: Handles nulls and generic types gracefully.

🛠 Usage Examples

1. Quick Serialization

Convert any object to a JSON string without setting up converters.

using Dev.Util.Json;

var profile = new { ID = 101, Role = "Developer", Active = true };

string json = profile.ToJson(); 
// Output: {"ID":101,"Role":"Developer","Active":true}

// With formatting (Pretty Print)
string pretty = profile.ToJson(indented: true);

2. Safe Deserialization

Parse strings back into objects or dynamics.

using Dev.Util.Json;

string rawBody = "{\"Name\":\"Alice\",\"Tags\":[\"C#\",\"DotNet\"]}";

var user = rawBody.FromJson<User>();
Console.WriteLine(user.Name); // Alice

3. The Power of Deep Cloning

Create a duplicate of an object that shares NO memory references with the original. Uses JSON serialization for the most reliable copy.

using Dev.Util.Json;

var original = new Order {
    ID = 1,
    Products = new List<Product> { new Product { Name = "Tool" } }
};

// Create a deep copy
var backup = original.DeepClone();

// Modifying the backup DOES NOT change the original
backup.Products[0].Name = "Modified";
Console.WriteLine(original.Products[0].Name); // "Tool" (unchanged)

4. Working with Anonymous Types

string json = "{\"key\":\"value\"}";
var obj = json.FromJson<dynamic>();

DeepClone() requires that your object properties have public getters/setters and a parameterless constructor (or compatible with System.Text.Json).
