Json.NET makes working with JSON formatted data in .NET
|
|
simple. Quickly read and write JSON using LINQ to JSON or serialize
|
|
your .NET objects with a single method call using the JsonSerializer.</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Features</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Flexible JSON serializer to convert .NET objects to JSON and back again</li>
|
|
<li>LINQ to JSON for reading and writing JSON</li>
|
|
<li>Writes indented, easy to read JSON</li>
|
|
<li>Convert JSON to and from XML</li>
|
|
<li>Supports Silverlight and the Compact Framework</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The JSON serializer is a good choice when the JSON you are reading or writing maps closely
|
|
to a .NET class. The serializer automatically reads and writes JSON for the class.</p>
|
|
<p class="MsoNormal">
|
|
For situations where you are only interested in getting values from JSON, don't
|
|
have a class to serialize or deserialize to, or the JSON is radically different
|
|
from your class and you need to manually read and write from your objects then
|
|
LINQ to JSON is what you should use. LINQ to JSON allows you to easily read,
|
|
create and modify JSON in .NET.</p>

<h3>

|
History</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Json.NET grew out of projects I was working on in late 2005 involving JavaScript,
|
|
AJAX and .NET. At the time there were no libraries for working with JavaScript in
|
|
.NET so I began to grow my own.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Starting out as a couple of static methods for escaping JavaScript strings, Json.NET
|
|
evolved as features were added. To add support for reading JSON a major refactor
|
|
was required and Json.NET will split into the three major classes it still uses
|
|
today, JsonReader, JsonWriter and JsonSerializer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Json.NET was first released in June 2006. Since then Json.NET has been downloaded
|
|
thousands of times by developers and is used in a number of major projects open
|
|
source projects including <a href="http://www.castleproject.org/monorail/index.html" target="_blank">MonoRail</a>,
|
|
Castle Project's MVC web framework, and <a href="http://www.mono-project.com/" target="_blank">Mono</a>,
|
|
an open source implementation
|
|
of the .NET framework.</p>
