JsonFormatter - Complete Json Serialization Library for Unity

Hi.

JsonFormatter is a Fast, Lightweight JSON serialization/deserialization library for Unity projects.

Download

• Download latest version
• Download from Asset Store

Features

• Serializing Collections: Lists, Dictionaries, IEnumerable
• Serializing KeyValuePair
• Serializing ISerializable
• Surrogate Serialization
• Serializing Almost anything (Automatically serializes public fields and properties)
• Deserializing IDeserializationCallback
• Fast and Helpful Customer Support
• Free & Open Source
• Easy to Use
• Cross Platform (Let us know if you have any problem with any platform)

Getting Started
Just add

Code (CSharp):

1. using BayatGames.Serialization.Formatters.Json;

then you are ready to go.

JsonFormatter provides some static methods for fast serialization of objects to json string:

Code (CSharp):

1. using BayatGames.Serialization.Formatters.Json;
2. ...
3. string json = JsonFormatter.SerializeObject ("Hello World");

I have information pulled from a restAPI, how would I use this to deserialise that information?

 

Could you post an example of response?

You can use JsonFormatter.DeserializeObject(string json, typeof(Dictionary<string, string>)).

Also you can make a storage object to store the response in a pre-defined object and use it for deserialization.

 

Hello - I am trying to use the JsonFormatter with a simple Vector3 surrogate, but it does not seem to serialize the Vec3. I am using the following to setup and test the surrogate but not having much success

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void Save()
2.     {
3.         JsonFormatter formatter = new JsonFormatter();
4.         SurrogateSelector ss = new SurrogateSelector();
5.         Vector3Surrogate Vector3_SS = new Vector3Surrogate();
6.         ss.AddSurrogate(typeof(Vector3), new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.All), Vector3_SS);
7.         formatter.surrogateSelector = ss;
8.         var saveData = new MyClass();
9.  
10.         string json = formatter.Serialize(saveData);
11.         Debug.Log(json);
12.     }
13.  
14.     public class MyClass
15.     {
16.         public string Name = "test";
17.         public Vector3 Vector;
18.  
19.         public MyClass()
20.         {
21.             Vector = new Vector3(1f, 2f, 3f);
22.         }
23.     }

 

Hi.
Are you getting any errors?

Thanks.

 

I am not getting an error. I just get an empty json string as output from the serialize call.
Also for reference here is my surrogate class:

Code (CSharp):

1.     class Vector3Surrogate : ISerializationSurrogate
2.     {
3.         // Method called to serialize a Vector3 object
4.         public void GetObjectData(System.Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
5.         {
6.             Vector3 vector = (Vector3) obj;
7.             info.AddValue("x", vector.x);
8.             info.AddValue("y", vector.y);
9.             info.AddValue("z", vector.z);
10.         }
11.  
12.         // Method called to deserialize a Vector3 object
13.         public System.Object SetObjectData(System.Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context, ISurrogateSelector selector)
14.         {
15.             return new UnityEngine.Vector3(info.GetSingle("x"), info.GetSingle("y"), info.GetSingle("z"));
16.         }
17.     }

 

Getting FormatException: error while deserializing can any one plz help.
