Simplify.Web.Json
June 26, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Simplify.Web.Json is a package which provides JSON serialization/deserialization for Simplify.Web web-framework controllers using Newtonsoft.Json.
Quick Start
Sending JSON to client
If the controller returns Json response class object, then the Framework execution will be stopped, object will be parsed to JSON string and sent to client
public class MyController : Controller2
{
public ControllerResponse Invoke()
{
...
return new Json(myObj);
}
}
Getting JSON from client
Registering binder
public void Configuration(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
...
HttpModelHandler.RegisterModelBinder<JsonModelBinder>();
app.UseSimplifyWeb();
}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
...
HttpModelHandler.ModelBindersTypes.Clear(); // This is required to remove built-in JSON model binder (based on System.Text.Json)
DIContainer.Current.RegisterJsonModelBinder();
...
}
Accessing model
Asynchronous
public class MyController : Controller2<MyModel>
{
public async Task<ControllerResponse> Invoke()
{
await ReadModelAsync();
Model.
}
}
Synchronous
JSON string will be deserialized to the controller model on first model access
public class MyController : Controller2<MyModel>
{
public ControllerResponse Invoke()
{
Model.
}
}
