Destructurama.SystemTextJson

Adds support for logging System.Text.Json dynamic types as structured data with Serilog. For JSON.NET dynamic types see this repo.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

Install-Package Destructurama.SystemTextJson

Usage

Modify logger configuration:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration().Destructure.SystemTextJsonTypes()

Now any System.Text.Json dynamic object can be represented in the log event's properties:

using System.Text.Json;
using Destructurama;
using Serilog;

var logger1 = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();
var logger2 = new LoggerConfiguration().Destructure.SystemTextJsonTypes().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();

var json = """
    {
      "name": "Tom",
      "age": 42,
      "isDeveloper": true
    }
    """;

var obj = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<dynamic>(json);

logger1.Information("Deserialized without SystemTextJsonTypes(): {@Obj}", obj);

logger2.Information("Deserialized with SystemTextJsonTypes(): {@Obj}", obj);

Console.ReadKey();

Output:

[21:15:52 INF] Deserialized without SystemTextJsonTypes(): {"ValueKind": "Object", "$type": "JsonElement"}
[21:15:53 INF] Deserialized with SystemTextJsonTypes(): {"name": "Tom", "age": 42, "isDeveloper": true}
