How to serialize object to json with type info using Newtonsoft.Json?

Question

I want to have a property with type name in JSON when I serialize objects of certain types. I wrote a converter:

public class TypeInfoConverter : JsonConvert         


        

Answer 1

var jsonSerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings() { 
    TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.All
};
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(instance, jsonSerializerSettings);
