Deserialize JSON recursively to IDictionary [duplicate]

Answer 1

When Deserializing your complex objects using Json, you need to add a JsonSerializer Settings as a parameter. This will ensure that all of the inner types get deserialized properly.

    private JsonSerializerSettings _jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
    {
        TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.All,
        TypeNameAssemblyFormat = FormatterAssemblyStyle.Full
    };

When Serializing your object, you can use the SerializerSettings:

    string json= JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, _jsonSettings)

Then when you are deserializing, use:

    var dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(json, _jsonSettings);

Also, when you serialize, add the JsonSerializerSettings to your SerializeObject(object, settings)

Edit: You can also change the TypeNameHandling and TypeNameAssemblyFormat if you need to. I have them set at 'All' and 'Full' respectively to ensure that my complex objects get serialized and deserialized properly without doubt, but intellisense provides you with other alternatives
