Meziantou.Framework.HumanReadableSerializer

One-way serializer to an invariant human-readable format. You can use HumanReadableSerializer.Serialize to convert an object to a string:

var obj = new { Name = "Gérald Barré", Nickname = "meziantou", Age = 32, MultiLineString = "line1\nline2" };
var output = HumanReadableSerializer.Serialize(obj);

output contains the following value:

Name: Gérald Barré
Nickname: meziantou
Age: 32
MultiLineString:
  line1
  line2

You can customize the serializer using an instance of HumanReadableSerializerOptions or by using attributes:

var options = new HumanReadableSerializerOptions()
{
    IncludeFields = true,
    DefaultIgnoreCondition = HumanReadableIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull,
};
HumanReadableSerializer.Serialize(obj, options);

Available attributes:

  • [HumanReadableIgnore] allows to ignore a property or a field
  • [HumanReadableIncludeAttribute] allows to include a property or a field
  • [HumanReadablePropertyNameAttribute] allows to set the name of a property or a field when serializing the value
  • [HumanReadablePropertyOrderAttribute] allows to order the properties when serializing an object
  • [HumanReadableConverterAttribute] allows to set the converter to use to serialize a property, a field, or a type

You can customize a type you don't own by using the following:

var options = new HumanReadableSerializerOptions();

// Add the HumanReadableIgnoreAttribute to the User.DisplayName property
options.AddAttribute(typeof(User), "DisplayName", new HumanReadableIgnoreAttribute());

options.IgnoreMember<User>(x => x.DisplayName);
options.IgnoreMember<User>(x => new { x.DisplayName, x.CreatedAt });
