JsonConvert in C#

The serializer that carried .NET JSON for a decade.

using Newtonsoft.Json;

var release = new Release("1.4.0", true);
Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(release));

var json = """{"Version": "2.0.0", "Stable": false}""";
var parsed = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Release>(json);
Console.WriteLine($"{parsed.Version} stable: {parsed.Stable}");

record Release(string Version, bool Stable);

How it works

1. SerializeObject handles records without configuration.
2. DeserializeObject<T> maps by property name onto the constructor.
3. Newtonsoft remains everywhere older APIs and SDKs live.
