Working with JSON in .NET
JSON is one of the most widely used data interchange formats for serializing and transmitting structured data. This course will teach you how to work with JSON in .NET using the native System.Text.Json base class library.
What you'll learn
JSON is one of the most widely used data interchange formats. It is used for serializing and transmitting structured data. In this course, Working with JSON in .NET, you’ll gain the ability to serialize and deserialize JSON in .NET. First, you’ll explore the basics of serialization and deserialization. Next, you’ll discover how to control serialization behavior in mostly any scenario available. Finally, you’ll learn how to use advanced techniques to optimize performance. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of JSON in .NET needed to work with JSON using the System.Text.Json base class library.
