What alternate to use for System.Web.Helpers.Json.Encode() in .net core 3.1?

Question

I am porting a .Net framework built MVC application to .Net Core 3.1 and I have a case where System.Web.Helpers.Json.Encode() methods have been used.

As System.Web.Helpers is not available in .Net Core, any idea what alternate to use?

Answer 1

You can use the built-in json serializer (System.Text.Json)

var obj = getMyObject();
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(obj);

Answer 2

You can use the following way:

• .Net framework @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(item))
• .Net 7: @Html.Raw(JsonSerializer.Serialize(item)) Or JsonConvert.SerializeObject(item)
