A simple JSON library for C#.

LightJson

A minimalist JSON library designed to easily encode and decode JSON messages.

Features

• Strict adherence to JSON Standard as defined in json.org.
• Expressive fluent API.
• Configurable output (minified/pretty).
• Enhanced debugging data for Visual Studio.

Usage

Creating a JSON message

var json = new JsonObject
{
	["menu"] = new JsonArray
	{
		"home",
		"projects",
		"about",
	}
}.ToString(pretty: true);

JSON output:

{
	"menu": [
		"home",
		"projects",
		"about"
	]
}

Reading a JSON message

In this example, the variable json contains the string generated in the previous example.

var menu = JsonValue.Parse(json)["menu"].AsJsonArray;

foreach (var item in menu)
{
	Console.WriteLine(item);
}

Console output:
