Using the library is very simple
- First install the nuget package 'Bolt'
- Then add the 'JsonObject' attribute to any class that you want to model
- Then add the 'JsonProperty' attribute to any property that you want to be included in the model
For example:
using Bolt.Attributes;
[JsonObject]
public class Dog {
[JsonProperty]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("age")]
public int Age { get; set; }
}Any property without a 'JsonProperty' attribute will be ignored
You can either specify the object key in the attribute constructor, or pass nothing and leave it as the property name
Then you can use the following methods to deserialize/serialize json:
using Bolt;
public class Program {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Dog dog = new Dog() {
Name = "Fido",
Age = 3
};
// Serialize
string json = Json.Serialize(dog);
// Deserialize with generic
dog = Json.Deserialize<Dog>(json);
// Deserialize with type parameter
dog = Json.Deserialize(typeof(Dog), json);
// Try deserializing
bool success = Json.TryDeserialize<Dog>(json, out dog);
// Try serializing
success = Json.TrySerialize(dog, out json);
}
}
