JSON Serialisation Implementation (JsonObje) - Use .NET Serialisation Data Contracts?

[DanielBaternik]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the ArcGIS JsonObject class within the SOE Support assembly uses the .NET DataContract attribute when serializing objects?

I"m trying to determine if i can use the [IgnoreDataMember] attribute to avoid circular references from occurring during JSON Serialization.

thanks

I have used IJSONWriter and IJSONSerializer and seems ESRI uses these (seeing the methods of interface).

use the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer. Its been available since .NET 3.5 from memory.
