Ferris.Json

A library for serializing and deserializing json.

Current status:

• Handles a lot of the simple C# and json string use cases.
• Does not handle more complex C# types
• Does not handle invalid json string well

Usages

Serializing

var obj = new TestObject
{
    Property = "string"
};

var jsonString = JsonTransformer.Serialize(obj);

Deserializing

var jsonString = "{\"Property\":\"string\"}"

var obj = JsonTransformer.Deserialize<TestObject>(jsonString);
