How do I serialize and deserialize JSON in C#?

How do I serialize and deserialize JSON in C#?

In C#, you can use the System.Text.Json namespace for JSON serialization and deserialization. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for both serialization and deserialization.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

using System;
using System.Text.Json;

public class Person {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

// Serialization
var person = new Person { Name = "Alice", Age = 30 };
string jsonString = JsonSerializer.Serialize(person);

// Deserialization
var deserializedPerson = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Person>(jsonString);

What if I want to handle more complex objects?

For complex objects, you can use attributes like [JsonPropertyName] to customize property names, or handle collections and nested objects directly. Would you like to see an example?
