Can Json.NET serialize / deserialize to / from a stream?

The current version of Json.net does not allow you to use the accepted answer code. A current alternative is:

public static object DeserializeFromStream(Stream stream)
{
    var serializer = new JsonSerializer();

    using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
    using (var jsonTextReader = new JsonTextReader(sr))
    {
        return serializer.Deserialize(jsonTextReader);
    }
}

Documentation: Deserialize JSON from a file stream

public static void Serialize(object value, Stream s)
{
    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(s))
    using (JsonTextWriter jsonWriter = new JsonTextWriter(writer))
    {
        JsonSerializer ser = new JsonSerializer();
        ser.Serialize(jsonWriter, value);
        jsonWriter.Flush();
    }
}

public static T Deserialize<T>(Stream s)
{
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(s))
    using (JsonTextReader jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(reader))
    {
        JsonSerializer ser = new JsonSerializer();
        return ser.Deserialize<T>(jsonReader);
    }
}

I've written an extension class to help me deserializing from JSON sources (string, stream, file).

public static class JsonHelpers
{
    public static T CreateFromJsonStream<T>(this Stream stream)
    {
        JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
        T data;
        using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            data = (T)serializer.Deserialize(streamReader, typeof(T));
        }
        return data;
    }

    public static T CreateFromJsonString<T>(this String json)
    {
        T data;
        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(json)))
        {
            data = CreateFromJsonStream<T>(stream);
        }
        return data;
    }

    public static T CreateFromJsonFile<T>(this String fileName)
    {
        T data;
        using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open))
        {
            data = CreateFromJsonStream<T>(fileStream);
        }
        return data;
    }
}

Deserializing is now as easy as writing:

MyType obj1 = aStream.CreateFromJsonStream<MyType>();
MyType obj2 = "{\"key\":\"value\"}".CreateFromJsonString<MyType>();
MyType obj3 = "data.json".CreateFromJsonFile<MyType>();

Hope it will help someone else.

UPDATE: This no longer works in the current version, see below for correct answer (no need to vote down, this is correct on older versions).

Use the JsonTextReader class with a StreamReader or use the JsonSerializer overload that takes a StreamReader directly:

var serializer = new JsonSerializer();
serializer.Deserialize(streamReader);
