+
+
+ ITraceWriter
+
+ A trace writer can be assigned using properties on JsonSerializerSettings or JsonSerializer.
+
+
+
+ Json.NET has two implementations of ITraceWriter: P:Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.MemoryTraceWriter
+ which keeps messages in memory for simple debugging like the example
+ above, and T:Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.DiagnosticsTraceWriter which writes messages to any
+ System.Diagnostics.TraceListeners your application is using.
+
+
+
+ Custom ITraceWriter
+
+ To write messages using your existing logging framework implement a custom version of ITraceWriter.
