Here you will learn how to convert C# object to JSON using Serialization.
JSON (Javascript Object Notation) is used for storing and data transfer. It is also used in API calls to exchange the data from API to different web applications or from browser to server and vice versa.
Serialization is the process of storing the state of an object and being able to recreate it when required. The reverse of it is known as Deserialization.
The .NET 5 framework provides the built-in
JsonSerializer class in the System.Text.Json namespace to convert C# objects to JSON and vice-versa.The .NET 4.x framework does not provide any built-in
JsonSerializer class that converts objects to JSON. You have to install the NuGet package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json in your project to include the System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer to your project which can be used to convert objects to JSON and vice-versa.
