Json.Net 1.0.13

Json.Net

A minimalistic JSON handler library.

Framework : .NET Standard 2.0

Usage instructions

Define a POCO class...

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

Serialization...

var petJson = JsonNet.Serialize(pet);

Deserialization...

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

You can also 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(pet, dateConverter);
