Fonlow.DateOnlyExtensionsTextJson 1.2.0

For ASP.NET Core 6

For ASP.NET Core 7 and above, needed by .NET Framework clients, JavaScript clients and any naughty client, since System.Text.Json is a bit less fault tolerant than Newtonsoft.Json

Customized serialization for DateOnly in ASP.NET Core 6 and above.

Similar to Fonlow.DateOnlyExtensions but without using NewtonSoft.Json, suitable for ASP.NET Core Web API using System.Text.Json only.

Usage:

.AddJsonOptions(
options =>
{
	//Needed by .NET Framework clients, JavaScript clients and any naughty client, since System.Text.Json is a bit less fault tolerant thant Newtonsoft.Json
	options.JsonSerializerOptions.Converters.Add(new Fonlow.Text.Json.DateOnlyExtensions.DateOnlyJsonConverter());
	options.JsonSerializerOptions.Converters.Add(new Fonlow.Text.Json.DateOnlyExtensions.DateTimeJsonConverter());
	options.JsonSerializerOptions.Converters.Add(new Fonlow.Text.Json.DateOnlyExtensions.DateTimeOffsetJsonConverter());

Hints:

• Without the converters, naughty clients that provide null to struct will cause 500 error; with the converters, the client will get 400, a bit more graceful, being consistent with the good old Newtonsoft.Json.

Remarks:

• .NET 7 clients and above may not need this in ASP.NET Core 7 and above. However, if you have JavaScript clients or other naughty clients that give null to struct, you may want some of the converters not obsolete.

Hints:

• DateOnly in .NET 6 and ASP.NET Core 6
• DateOnly in ASP.NET 7 with JavaScript Clients
