JSON Handling in .NET

Introduction

In this lesson, you will learn JSON handling in .NET for beginners. JSON is the most common format used to send and receive data in APIs.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format used to exchange data between client and server.

Example JSON:

{
  "name": "Rahul",
  "age": 22
}

using System.Text.Json;

var student = new { Name = "Rahul", Age = 22 };
string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(student);
Console.WriteLine(json);

string json = "{\"Name\":\"Rahul\",\"Age\":22}";
var student = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<dynamic>(json);
