JsonSerializer

JsonSerializer adapts Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer to RestSharp's ISerializer contract, so JsonHttpClient can control date-time-zone handling and other Newtonsoft settings while still plugging into RestSharp's request-body serialization pipeline. It is adapted from the Apache-2.0 RestSharp default serializer, with attribution retained in the source file header.

Purpose

• Serialize request bodies to indented JSON with a configurable DateTimeZoneHandling, keeping serialization consistent with response deserialization (BR-CLI-011). See Serialize (JsonSerializer).
• Satisfy the RestSharp.Serializers.ISerializer contract so JsonHttpClient can assign it to RestRequest.JsonSerializer.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Web.API.Clients
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Web.API.Clients (NuGet package SAIF.Web.API.Clients)

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
Constructor	JsonSerializer(DateTimeZoneHandling dateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Local)	Builds an internal Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer with MissingMemberHandling.Ignore, NullValueHandling.Include, DefaultValueHandling.Include, and the given date-time-zone handling.
Constructor	JsonSerializer(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer serializer)	Accepts a fully caller-configured Newtonsoft serializer, overriding all default settings from the other constructor.
Serialize	string Serialize(object obj)	Serializes obj to indented JSON (Formatting.Indented, " quote char) and returns the resulting string.
ContentType	string { get; set; }	Set to application/json by both constructors; part of the ISerializer contract RestSharp reads when writing the request.
DateFormat	string { get; set; }	Declared for ISerializer compliance; documented in-source as unused for JSON serialization.
RootElement	string { get; set; }	Declared for ISerializer compliance; documented in-source as unused for JSON serialization.
Namespace	string { get; set; }	Declared for ISerializer compliance; documented in-source as unused for JSON serialization.

Behavioral notes

• Payloads are always pretty-printed (Formatting.Indented) on the wire, producing larger request bodies than compact serialization would.
• The two-constructor design means callers can either accept the library's fixed Newtonsoft settings (with a chosen date-time-zone mode) or fully replace them by supplying their own Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer.

Constraints and usage notes

• DateFormat, RootElement, and Namespace exist only to satisfy the ISerializer interface signature and have no effect on JSON output.
