Is there an easy way to generate the JSON for a symbol renderer. For example, can I automatically generate the symbol JSON from a layer file for symbology that we have already defined via ArcMap?
I can update the renderer for a loaded FeatureLayer with something similar to the following.
Renderer ren = Renderer.FromJson(File.ReadAllText(symbolJson));
loadedLayer.Renderer = ren;
Symbol JSON is similar to the following
{

"field1": "SUBTYPECD",
"field2": "WORKFUNCTION",
"field3": null,
"defaultSymbol": {
"type": "esriSLS",

156,
255
],

},
"defaultLabel": "<all other values>",
"uniqueValueInfos": [
