Serializing and De-serializing JSON data Using ServiceStack
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For Free ServiceStack is a light-weight, complete and independent open source
web framework for .NET. I recently started playing with it and I must
say that it is an awesome framework. It has several nice features
including .NET’s fastest JSON serializer.
Each piece in ServiceStack can be used independently. So is its piece
for serialization. The serialization package of ServiceStack can be
installed via NuGet using the following command:
public class Person { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string Occupation { get; set; } }Following is a sample object of the person class:
var person = new Person() { Id = 1, Name = "Ravi", City = "Hyderabad", Occupation = "Software Engineer" };To serialize this object to a JSON string, we need to use the ServiceStack.Text.JsonSerializer class. Following statement serializes the above object:
var serialized = JsonSerializer.SerializeToString(person);The above string can be de-serialized using the following statement:
var converted = JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString<Person>(serialized);The JsonSerializer class also has APIs to serialize into or de-serialize from TextWriter or Stream.
The APIs in ServiceStack are light-weight and easy to use. I am working on a series of articles on this great framework. Stay tuned for updates.
Happy coding!
