Model-driven compile-time source generators for quickly creating polymorphic, freezable DTOs (Data Transport Objects) supporting various serialization protocols:

  • JSON (System.Text.Json)
  • JSON (Newtonsoft.Json)
  • MessagePack 2.x
  • MemBlocks

Models are defined as C# interfaces with additional attributes. So let's start with a non-trivial model. Here's how to define a polymorphic, recursive tree type:

using DTOMaker.Models;
using DTOMaker.Runtime;
namespace MyModels;
[Entity(1)] public interface INode : IEntityBase
{
    [Member(1)] String Key { get; set; } 
}
[Entity(2)] public interface IStringNode : INode
{
    [Member(1)] String Value { get; set; } 
}
[Entity(3)] public interface INumberNode : INode
{
    [Member(1)] Int64 Value  { get; set; } 
}
[Entity(4)] public interface ITree : IEntityBase
{
    [Member(1)] ITree? Left  { get; set; }
    [Member(2)] ITree? Right { get; set; }
    [Member(3)] INode? Node  { get; set; }
}

When you add a reference to the DTOMaker.SrcGen.JsonSystemText package, the implmentations will be generated in the MyModels.JsonSystemText namespace.

Development

In progress

  • custom type members (to avoid primitive obsession)

Coming soon

  • global interface equality comparer
  • reservation (hidden members)

Coming later

  • MessagePack 3.x serialization
  • Orleans serialization
  • Protobuf.Net serialization
  • generic entities
  • model.json generation
  • command-line alternative
  • variant native type support
  • variable length arrays
  • logical value equality
