JSON-Serializer (Renewed open)

Hi,

after I've tryed UnitySerializer, I'm not completely satisfied.

Is there any way to integrate t$$anonymous$$s library? http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb410770.aspx

Kind regards

Given that it's a .Net4.5 library and Unity only officially supports .Net 2.0 I don't imagine so. Have you considered using LitJSON? It compiles fine under 2.0 and I've used it myself in Facebook app testing.

@FWCorey, Actually, Unity's Mono supports many features of 3.0 and even 3.5. You can 'fake' many 4.0 and 4.5 features with extension methods - I've done that previously with SharpKml, for instance, which is .NET 4.0. Without knowing more about the asker's skill level, it's impossible to say whether he would be able to use that library - it's just not a specific, technical question we can answer.

@marius.treu's question wasn't "which JSON library should I use?", but if it had been, the right place for that discussion is the forums, not Unity Answers. There are in fact numerous discussions of JSON libraries on the forums, including LitJSON, and Marius, if that's what you're looking for we would be happy to give you links.

@marius.treu I'm glad everything worked out okay @Julien.Lynge Given the context of his question I wanted to try to be immediately helpful, but since it wasn't a specific answer I offered it as a suggestion in a comment rather than a full answer. After all we are all here to help one another.

Yep, nice job. I was just worried this was going to turn into another opinion fest of 'this-or-that-library is the best.'

Glad you could help the asker - add an answer and I'll give you a thumbs up.
