System.Runtime.Serialization.Json Namespace

Summary

This namespace contains types that enable JSON serialization and deserialization for .NET objects. It provides classes to work with JSON data in a structured and object-oriented manner.

Classes

DataContractJsonSerializer (Class)

Serializes and deserializes objects to and from JSON.
JsonReaderWriterFactory (Class)

Provides factory methods for creating JSON reader and writer instances.
JsonSerializationException (Class)

Represents errors that occur during JSON serialization or deserialization.
JsonReaderWriterSettings (Class)

Provides settings for JSON readers and writers.
JsonValue (Class)

Represents a JSON value.
JsonWriter (Class)

Represents a JSON writer.

Interfaces

IJsonSerializable (Interface)

Enables an object to be serialized to and deserialized from JSON.

Structures

JsonObject (Struct)

Represents a JSON object.
JsonArray (Struct)

Represents a JSON array.

Enums

JsonNodeType (Enum)

Specifies the type of a JSON node.

Example Usage

Here's a basic example of how to serialize a .NET object to JSON:


                    using System;
                    using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
                    using System.IO;
                    using System.Text;

                    public class Person
                    {
                        public string Name { get; set; }
                        public int Age { get; set; }
                    }

                    public class Example
                    {
                        public static void Main(string[] args)
                        {
                            var person = new Person { Name = "Alice", Age = 30 };
                            var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Person));

                            using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
                            {
                                serializer.WriteObject(stream, person);
                                stream.Position = 0;
                                using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8))
                                {
                                    // Output: {"Name":"Alice","Age":30}
                                    Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
