    Great to know IDeserialized works out for you! :) I needed such concept for my IoC+IServiceProvider to completely initialize object tree (it's called IRegistryDelegate for that). Came with that there first! :-D After all the comments I decided to add yet more functionalities and now it's all broken.... Plus, exceptionally, I work this Saturday! :(( (this my home project, not the work one) So it's gonna be delayed some more... But the current (broken) version does support ISerializable (but not [SerializableAttribute] which assume private field reading), TypeConverter (but not ValueSerializer which are not PLC / .NET Core) and it also support restoring public readonly reference property, such as:

    public List Children { get; } = new List();
    public Configuration Configuration { get { return existingConfig; } }

    I was misleaded, proved easy and helpful! :) ETA should be end of next week now...

        For (my extremely slowly) upcoming take over the world project I created a new (C#) serializer! Why? Well this take over the world project, without disclosing too much, is a document editor. I need to save those documents. Writing a Save() and Read() method is quite cumbersome... Serializer, XML Serializer and DataContractSerializer don't make the cut for obvious reason. JsonSerializer is too bloated (think a list of 1000 points, endlessly repeating "x =" or "{" or "}") plus it doesn't work very well with property of type object or List Enter my serializer, it's version tolerant, strongly typed, have some kind of header with all type info, then it's a stream of value and I think it's output quite a compact stream of data. And it works with PCL (i.e. desktop, UWP, IOS, Android, Linux with .NET core) And it just finally worked! this morning at 8:35AM! ;P (well, not completely.. I just tweaked a test which then failed.. apparently there is still a known bug...) Well all of that to say... I might make a CodeProject article if there is some interest for it! ;) As a side note, Not really a GitHub project since it's smack in the middle of my utility library and removing it is .. tedious since I shared plenty of reflection extension method....

        Just curious, why not something like the Avro serializer (Serializing data with the Microsoft .NET Library for Avro[^]) or Protocol Buffers (https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/csharptutorial[^])? Avro supports schemas and versioning, and both produce a fairly compact output and are cross platform compatible.

          I was about to replay (once again, like 2 thread above above protocol buffer): Ignorance. But then, following your link (for Avro serializer at least) and going down the memory lane on protocol buffer with a CP Article, the answer is obvious: I want something as simple as NewtonSoft JsonConverter. It should just work! And also it should work with object or subclass. And while you can use some attribute with it, it should work fine without any! In a word I want to serialize that (without any more hidden work!):

          class Data {
          public object Something;
          public List MoreThings { get; } = new List();
          }

                An article in itself. I've been having fun with reflection and LINQ, but I'd really like to see some cool reflection extension methods, as well as that serializer that you describe. Marc

                    I'm impressed! The introduction on GitHub already looks good - haven't dug deeper yet, though.
