Newtomsonft.json has helper methods that help to serialize objects to JSON. See below for a code snippet that uses the library and helps convert an object to JSON format.
public string SerializeToJSon(object o)
{
var jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer
{
ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver(),
Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Include,
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
};
var jsonString = string.Empty;
using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
{
using (var jsonTextWriter = new JsonTextWriter(stringWriter))
{
//use quotename to surround names in quotes.
jsonTextWriter.QuoteName = true;
jsonSerializer.Serialize(jsonTextWriter, o);
jsonTextWriter.Close();
}
jsonString = stringWriter.ToString();
}
return jsonString;
}
