JsonSerializer

JsonSerializer implements RestSharp's ISerializer interface using a Newtonsoft-based JSON writer, and is the type JsonHttpClient assigns to every RestRequest.JsonSerializer so that outbound request bodies serialize consistently with the client's configured DateTimeZoneHandling and member-handling settings (BR-07, BR-21). The file carries an Apache 2.0 license header, having originally been contributed to RestSharp by John Sheehan / Daniel Crenna.

Purpose

• Serialize an object to an indented JSON string using a Newtonsoft Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer configured with MissingMemberHandling.Ignore, NullValueHandling.Include, DefaultValueHandling.Include, and the caller-selected DateTimeZoneHandling.
• Satisfy the RestSharp.Serializers.ISerializer contract so JsonHttpClient can plug it into a RestRequest for JSON body serialization.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Web.API.Clients
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Web.API.Clients (net35 build variant; not shipped by the current package definition — see Overview)

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
ctor	public JsonSerializer(DateTimeZoneHandling dateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Local)	Builds a Newtonsoft serializer configured with MissingMemberHandling.Ignore, NullValueHandling.Include, DefaultValueHandling.Include, and the supplied DateTimeZoneHandling (BR-21).
ctor	public JsonSerializer(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer serializer)	Accepts a fully custom, pre-configured Newtonsoft serializer instead of building one from defaults.
Serialize	public string Serialize(object obj)	Serializes the given object to an indented JSON string using " as the quote character; the entry point RestSharp calls for AddJsonBody (see Serialize request body).
DateFormat	public string DateFormat { get; set; }	Required to satisfy ISerializer; unused for JSON serialization.
RootElement	public string RootElement { get; set; }	Required to satisfy ISerializer; unused for JSON serialization.
Namespace	public string Namespace { get; set; }	Required to satisfy ISerializer; unused for JSON serialization.
ContentType	public string ContentType { get; set; } (default application/json)	Content type reported to RestSharp for the serialized body.

Behavioral notes

• DateFormat, RootElement, and Namespace exist only to satisfy the RestSharp.Serializers.ISerializer interface contract; none of them affect JSON output.*

Constraints and usage notes

• The linked source imports RestSharp.Serialization.Json, a namespace introduced in the RestSharp 106.x line, while this .35 project pins RestSharp 105.2.3 — the namespace is not expected to exist in the pinned assembly, a build-viability concern documented in Architecture.*

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
