Introducing JsonSrcGen 1.1
JsonSrcGen 1.1 has been released. This is the first release that includes UTF8 support.
Why UTF8?
UTF8 support is a big deal for a Json serializer. In c# strings are UTF16, but the vast majority of real JSON usage is UTF8, files, rest API's all use UTF8. This means a JSON serializer that uses .net strings has to do a double conversion, first from UTF8 to a .Net string (UTF16) then from the .net string to the json object. If a JSON serializer can work with UTF16 directly then a large amount of time can be saved.
Features
- UTF8 Support
- Decimal type support
- Struct and read only struct support
Code Examples
// To Json UTF8 ReadOnlySpan<byte> json = convert.ToJsonUtf8(new MyType(){MyProperty = "Some value"}); // From Json UTF8 ReadOnlySpan<byte> utf8Json = Encoding.Utf8.GetBytes("{\"MyProperty\:\"Some value\"}"); convert.FromJson(utf8Json, myType);
Benchmarks
The code for the following benchmarks can be found in github. The following class is used for these benchmarks:
public class JsonTestClass { public string FirstName{get;set;} public string LastName{get;set;} public int Age{get;set;} public bool Registered {get;set;} }
