Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyBinder Obsolete.
Gets or sets the SerializationBinder used by the serializer when resolving type names.
Public propertyCheckAdditionalContent
Gets a value indicating whether there will be a check for additional JSON content after deserializing an object. The default value is false.
Public propertyConstructorHandling
Gets or sets how constructors are used during deserialization. The default value is Default.
Public propertyContext
Gets or sets the StreamingContext used by the serializer when invoking serialization callback methods.
Public propertyContractResolver
Gets or sets the contract resolver used by the serializer when serializing .NET objects to JSON and vice versa.
Public propertyConverters
Gets a collection JsonConverter that will be used during serialization.
Public propertyCulture
Gets or sets the culture used when reading JSON. The default value is InvariantCulture.
Public propertyDateFormatHandling
Gets or sets how dates are written to JSON text. The default value is IsoDateFormat.
Public propertyDateFormatString
Gets or sets how DateTime and DateTimeOffset values are formatted when writing JSON text, and the expected date format when reading JSON text. The default value is "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss.FFFFFFFK".
Public propertyDateParseHandling
Gets or sets how date formatted strings, e.g. "\/Date(1198908717056)\/" and "2012-03-21T05:40Z", are parsed when reading JSON. The default value is DateTime.
Public propertyDateTimeZoneHandling
Gets or sets how DateTime time zones are handled during serialization and deserialization. The default value is RoundtripKind.
Public propertyDefaultValueHandling
