Microsoft Orleans Serialization for System.Text.Json

Introduction

Microsoft Orleans Serialization for System.Text.Json provides JSON serialization support for Microsoft Orleans using the modern System.Text.Json library. This allows you to use the high-performance JSON serialization capabilities from the .NET runtime within your Orleans application.

Getting Started

To use this package, install it via NuGet:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Orleans.Serialization.SystemTextJson

Example - Configuring System.Text.Json Serialization

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Orleans.Hosting;
using Orleans.Serialization;

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args)
 .UseOrleans(siloBuilder =>
 {
 siloBuilder
 .UseLocalhostClustering()
 // Configure System.Text.Json as a serializer
 .AddSerializer(serializerBuilder => serializerBuilder.AddSystemTextJsonSerializer(type => type.Namespace.StartsWith("ExampleGrains")));
 });

// Run the host
await builder.RunAsync();

Example - Using System.Text.Json with a Custom Type

using Orleans;
using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
namespace ExampleGrains;

// Define a class with System.Text.Json attributes
public class MyJsonClass
{
 [JsonPropertyName("full_name")]
 public string Name { get; set; }
 
 [JsonPropertyName("age")]
 public int Age { get; set; }
 
 [JsonPropertyName("tags")]
 public List<string> Tags { get; set; }
 
 [JsonIgnore]
 public string SecretData { get; set; }
}

// You can use it directly in your grain interfaces and implementation
public interface IMyGrain : IGrainWithStringKey
{
 Task<MyJsonClass> GetData();
 Task SetData(MyJsonClass data);
}

public class MyGrain : Grain, IMyGrain
{
 private MyJsonClass _data;

 public Task<MyJsonClass> GetData()
 {
 return Task.FromResult(_data);
 }

 public Task SetData(MyJsonClass data)
 {
 _data = data;
 return Task.CompletedTask;
 }
}
