VJson is a JSON serializer/deserializer (with JsonSchema support) library written in pure C#. Supported versions are .NET Standard 2.0 or higher.
This library is developed as a purely C# project, however it also supports that be build with Unity 2019.4.22f1 or higher.

Installation

For standard C# projects

You can use Nuget/VJson.

dotnet add package VJson

For Unity projects

stable

Add scoped registry information shown below to your Packages/manifest.json if not exists.

{
  "scopedRegistries": [
    {
      "name": "yutopp.net",
      "url": "https://registry.npmjs.com",
      "scopes": [
        "net.yutopp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

And add net.yutopp.vjson to your Packages/manifest.json like below.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "net.yutopp.vjson": "*"
  }
}

nightly

Add a url for VJson git repository to your Packages/manifest.json like below.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "net.yutopp.vjson": "https://github.com/yutopp/VJson.git?path=Packages/net.yutopp.vjson"
  }
}

(TODO: Provide unity packages)

Usage example

Serialize/Deserialize

//
// For serialization
//
var serializer = new VJson.JsonSerializer(typeof(int));

// You can get JSON strings,
var json = serializer.Serialize(42);

// OR write json data(UTF-8) to streams directly.
using (var s = new MemoryStream())
{
    serializer.Serialize(s, 42);
}
//
// For deserialization
//
var serializer = new VJson.JsonSerializer(typeof(int));

// You can get Object from strings,
var value = serializer.Deserialize(json);

// OR read json data(UTF-8) from streams directly.
using (var s = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json)))
{
    var value = serializer.Deserialize(s);
}

VJson supports serializing/deserializing of some System.Collections(.Generics) classes listed below,

  • List
  • Dictionary<string, T>
  • Array

and user defined classes. For user defined classes, converting only all public fields are supported.

e.g.

(It is strongly recommended to always add VJson attributes such as [JsonField] to fields that you want to treat as Json. This will avoid problems with IL2CPP, especially when using Unity.)

class SomeObject
{
    private float _p = 3.14f;    // Fields which are non-public will not be exported by default.
    [JsonField] long _p2 = 4;    // Fields which are non-public BUT having [JsonField] (+etc) attributes will BE exported!
    public int X;                // Fields which are public will be exported by default, but we strongly recommended to add [JsonField] attributes like below.
    [JsonField] public string Y;
}

var obj = new SomeObject {
    X = 10,
    Y = "abab",
},

var serializer = new VJson.JsonSerializer(typeof(SomeObject));
var json = serializer.Serialize(obj);
// > {"_p2": 4,"X":10,"Y":"abab"}

var v = serializer.Deserialize("{\"X\":10,\"Y\":\"abab\"}");
// > v becomes same as obj.
