Key concepts

The main shared concepts of System.ClientModel include:

• Providing APIs to read and write models in different formats.

Examples

Simple ModelReaderWriter usage

As a library author you can implement IPersistableModel<T> or IJsonModel<T> which will give library users the ability to read and write your models.

Example writing an instance of a model.

InputModel model = new InputModel();
BinaryData data = ModelReaderWriter.Write(model);

Example reading a model from json

string json = @"{
  ""x"": 1,
  ""y"": 2,
  ""z"": 3
}";
OutputModel? model = ModelReaderWriter.Read<OutputModel>(BinaryData.FromString(json));
