Dump() object to JSON pretty-print string


Dump() object to JSON pretty-print string



Ok, I am having a bit of a problem with this, and I would rather not build my own code if there is an applicable one with permissive license..



I need a way to dump instance of object, any object, into human readable JSON string. Our plan was to use ServiceStack.Text but that piece of software has a restrictive license in v3, and we are not building a FOSS. I also have zero understanding from mgmt about buying commercial license for ServiceStack v4 just to dump objects. So we need something along the lines of MIT licensing.



Internal JSON serializer in WCF seems to only work with DataContract adorned objects.



Any idea if something like that is available?





Use JSON.NET ? if you can use 3rd party DLLs that is.

Perfect... Thanks. We can use 3rd party, as long as the license is permissive for commercial use.

Ok, works like a charm. Can you post an answer so that I can accept it?

Use JSON.Net to convert an object to a JSON String.


string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(objectToSerialize);



I also do the following to Format the JSON nicely into a readable file (instead of all just one line)


JToken jt = JToken.Parse(json);
string formattedJson = jt.ToString();





won't I get the same thing with JsonConvert.SerializeObject(instance, Formatting.Indented);?

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(instance, Formatting.Indented);





Maybe, but thats how my google-fu told me :P

Using Newtonsoft.Json also we can achieve the same with




string formattedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data, Formatting.Indented);
Console.WriteLine(formattedJson);



string formattedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data, Formatting.Indented);
Console.WriteLine(formattedJson);

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false.
