The Json.NET library makes working with JavaScript and JSON formatted data in .NET
|
|
simple. Quickly read and write JSON using the JsonReader and JsonWriter or serialize
|
|
your .NET objects with a single method call using the JsonSerializer.</p>
|

History</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Json.NET grew out of projects I was working on in late 2005 involving JavaScript,
|
|
AJAX and .NET. At the time there were no libraries for working with JavaScript in
|
|
.NET so I began to grow my own.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Starting out as a couple of static methods for escaping JavaScript strings, Json.NET
|
|
evolved as features were added. To add support for reading JSON a major refactor
|
|
was required and Json.NET will split into the three major classes it still uses
|
|
today, JsonReader, JsonWriter and JsonSerializer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Json.NET was first released in June 2006. Since then Json.NET has been downloaded
|
|
thousands of times by developers and is used in a number of major projects open
|
|
source projects including <a href="http://www.castleproject.org/monorail/index.html" target="_blank">MonoRail</a>,
|
|
Castle Project's MVC web framework, and <a href="http://www.mono-project.com/" target="_blank">Mono</a>,
|
|
an open source implementation
|
|
of the .NET framework.</p>
