Franz.Common.Serialization

A serialization utility library within the Franz Framework that simplifies JSON and byte array serialization. This package includes custom JSON converters, serializers, and extensions for seamless integration into .NET applications.

Features

• Custom JSON Converters:
  • DateTimeJsonConverter and DateTimeOffsetJsonConverter for handling specific datetime formats.
  • EnumerationJsonConverter for serializing and deserializing enumerations.
• Byte Array Serialization:
  • ByteArraySerializer and IByteArraySerializer for efficient byte array serialization and deserialization.
• JSON Serialization:
  • JsonSerializer and JsonCreationConverter for custom JSON serialization logic.
• Service Registration:
  • ServiceCollectionExtensions to streamline serializer setup and dependency injection.

Version Information

• Current Version: 1.6.15
• Part of the private Franz Framework ecosystem.

Dependencies

This package is lightweight and has no external dependencies beyond the .NET runtime.

Installation

From Private Azure Feed

Since this package is hosted privately, configure your NuGet client:

dotnet nuget add source "https://your-private-feed-url" \
  --name "AzurePrivateFeed" \
  --username "YourAzureUsername" \
  --password "YourAzurePassword" \
  --store-password-in-clear-text

Install the package:

dotnet add package Franz.Common.Serialization  

Usage

1. Register Serialization Services

Use ServiceCollectionExtensions to register the serializers:

using Franz.Common.Serialization.Extensions;

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddSerialization();
    }
}

2. Serialize and Deserialize JSON

Leverage JsonSerializer for JSON operations:

using Franz.Common.Serialization;

var jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer();
var jsonData = jsonSerializer.Serialize(new { Name = "John", Age = 30 });
var person = jsonSerializer.Deserialize<Person>(jsonData);

3. Use Custom JSON Converters

Register and use custom converters like DateTimeJsonConverter:

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions();
options.Converters.Add(new DateTimeJsonConverter());

var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(DateTime.Now, options);
var dateTime = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<DateTime>(json, options);

4. Byte Array Serialization

Utilize ByteArraySerializer for byte array operations:

using Franz.Common.Serialization;

var byteArraySerializer = new ByteArraySerializer();
var data = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
var serialized = byteArraySerializer.Serialize(data);
var deserialized = byteArraySerializer.Deserialize<byte[]>(serialized);

Integration with Franz Framework

The Franz.Common.Serialization package integrates seamlessly with the Franz Framework, providing utilities for efficient serialization and deserialization in distributed systems. Combine it with other Franz packages for enhanced functionality.
