Serialization is the conversion of an object to a series of bytes, so that the object can be easily saved to persistent storage or streamed across a communication link. The byte stream can then be deserialized – converted into a replica of the original object.
Any fields you don’t want serialized in general you should use the “transient” modifier, and this also applies to json serializers (at least it does to a few that I have used, including gson). If you don’t want name to show up in the serialized json give it a transient keyword, eg: private transient String … Read more
Where does user.id go after passport.serializeUser has been called? The user id (you provide as the second argument of the done function) is saved in the session and is later used to retrieve the whole object via the deserializeUser function. serializeUser determines which data of the user object should be stored in the session. The … Read more
You could decorate the property you wish controlling its name with the [JsonProperty] attribute which allows you to specify a different name: using Newtonsoft.Json; // … [JsonProperty(PropertyName = “FooBar”)] public string Foo { get; set; } Documentation: Serialization Attributes

Write the file to disk (I named it foo.xml) Generate the xsd: xsd foo.xml Generate the C#: xsd foo.xsd /classes Et voila – and C# code file that should be able to read the data via XmlSerializer: XmlSerializer … Read more
That was the best solution https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/hongyes/loop-reference-handling-in-web-api Fix 1: Ignoring circular reference globally (I have chosen/tried this one, as have many others) The json.net serializer has an option to ignore circular references. Put the following code in WebApiConfig.cs file: config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore; The simple fix will make serializer to ignore the reference which will cause a … Read more
Depends on your priorities. If performance is your absolute driving characteristic, then by all means use the fastest one. Just make sure you have a full understanding of the differences before you make a choice Unlike serialize() you need to add extra parameter to keep UTF-8 characters untouched: json_encode($array, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE) (otherwise it converts UTF-8 characters … Read more
Marshaling and serialization are loosely synonymous in the context of remote procedure call, but semantically different as a matter of intent. In particular, marshaling is about getting parameters from here to there, while serialization is about copying structured data to or from a primitive form such as a byte stream. In this sense, serialization is … Read more
Important Note BinaryFormatter has been deprecated, and will no longer be available in .NET after November 2023. See BinaryFormatter Obsoletion Strategy I’ve seen a few different approaches to this, but I use a generic utility method as such: public static T DeepClone<T>(this T obj) { using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) { var formatter = … Read more
If you are happy to have a dependency upon the System.Web.Helpers assembly, then you can use the Json class: dynamic data = Json.Decode(json); It is included with the MVC framework as an additional download to the .NET 4 framework. Be sure to give Vlad an upvote if that’s helpful! However if you cannot assume the … Read more
