❔ OSS/Examples for JSON Deserialization?
I'm working on a mid-sized application that does a lot of json deserialization from third party API responses. Does anyone knows where I could find some OSS projects that use json document/node that I could use as reference for advanced json processing?

What's wrong with
System.Text.Json?
It has a JsonDocument class or whatever it's called that lets you handle bullshit JSON without deserializing it
Would you look at that, it's the exact name actually lol
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.json.jsondocument?view=net-7.0I'm using system.text.json, I'm looking for some projects that integrate json deserialization with more complex operations
like case sensitity, checking if the value exists in the json
some fancy use cases for TryGetJsonProperty()
Those aren't really complex tbh. For case sensitivity just set the options of the serializer, and for checking the value... make it nullable in the model you deserialize to. Or, indeed, use a
JsonDocument and do all the weird shit you need with it
.TryGetJsonProperty() is useful when the JSON you get is utter shit and doesn't conform to any schema
So you can check if the property exists, and get it only if it does
As far as any specific projects that deal with bullshit JSON go, nothing comes to mind
Usually you just ensure the JSON you deal with is sanethe serializer options don't work with json elements, no?
yup, my use case.
True, true
I guess your best bet would be enumerating all properties and doing comparisons that ignore case that way
awesome, I'll do that. Thanks
