Json.NET 4.5 Release 5 – JsonProperty enhancements
JsonProperty enhancements
JsonPropertyAttribute now has options on it to customize a property’s collection items. When ItemConverter, ItemIsReference, ItemTypeNameHandling or ItemReferenceLoopHandling is set on JsonProperty and the property’s type is a collection then those settings will be applied to every collection item.
public class Event
{public string EventName { get; set; }
public string Venue { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(ItemConverterType = typeof(JavaScriptDateTimeConverter))]
public IList<DateTime> Performances { get; set; }
}
Usage:
Event e = new Event
{EventName = "Blackadder III",Venue = "Gryphon Theatre",Performances = new List<DateTime>
{DateTime.Parse("8 Tue May 2012, 6:30pm"),
DateTime.Parse("9 Wed May 2012, 6:30pm"),
DateTime.Parse("10 Thu May 2012, 8:00pm")
}
};
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(e, Formatting.Indented);
//{// "EventName": "Blackadder III",// "Venue": "Gryphon Theatre",// "Performances": [// new Date(1336458600000),// new Date(1336545000000),// new Date(1336636800000)// ]//}Changes
