⚡ Core.Serialization

Production-ready serialization abstraction for .NET 8

Core.Serialization (distributed as the CoreSystem.Serialization NuGet package) provides a unified serialization abstraction for .NET applications, allowing you to seamlessly work with JSON, MessagePack, or Protocol Buffers through a single API.

NuGet Downloads License .NET

✨ Features

  • ✅ Unified serialization abstraction
  • ✅ JSON, MessagePack and Protocol Buffers support
  • ✅ Dependency Injection integration
  • ✅ Configurable serializer selection
  • ✅ Common exception model
  • ✅ High-level serialization API
  • ✅ Lightweight and reusable
  • ✅ Designed for infrastructure libraries

📦 Installation

dotnet add package CoreSystem.Serialization

🚀 Quick Start

Register the library:

builder.Services.AddCoreSerialization(options =>
{
    options.DefaultSerializer = SerializerType.Json;
});

Inject the serializer:

public sealed class ProductService(
    IPayloadSerializer serializer)
{
}

Serialize an object:

byte[] payload =
    serializer.Serialize(product);

Deserialize an object:

Product? restored =
    serializer.Deserialize<Product>(payload);

⚙️ Configuration

Customize the serializer during registration.

builder.Services.AddCoreSerialization(options =>
{
    options.DefaultSerializer = SerializerType.Json;

    // Configure JSON or MessagePack options here.
});

📚 Supported Serializers

JSON

Recommended for:

  • Human-readable payloads
  • Debugging
  • Maximum compatibility

MessagePack

Recommended for:

  • High-performance APIs
  • Compact payloads
  • Low latency

Protocol Buffers

Recommended for:

  • Cross-platform communication
  • Contract-first serialization
  • Compact binary payloads

Protocol Buffers requires serialized types to be compatible with protobuf-net.

[ProtoContract]
public sealed class Product
{
    [ProtoMember(1)]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [ProtoMember(2)]
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

⚠️ Exception Handling

All serializer-specific exceptions are wrapped by a common exception type.

try
{
    var payload =
        serializer.Serialize(product);
}
catch (CoreSerializationException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Serializer);
}
