json.net ignore property during serialization code example

Example 1: json ignore property c#

public class Account
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public string EmailAddress { get; set; }

    [JsonIgnore]
    public string PasswordHash { get; set; }
}

Example 2: json serializer skip property

public class PropertyRenameAndIgnoreSerializerContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
    private readonly Dictionary<Type, HashSet<string>> _ignores;
    private readonly Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, string>> _renames;

    public PropertyRenameAndIgnoreSerializerContractResolver()
    {
        _ignores = new Dictionary<Type, HashSet<string>>();
        _renames = new Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, string>>();
    }

    public void IgnoreProperty(Type type, params string[] jsonPropertyNames)
    {
        if (!_ignores.ContainsKey(type))
            _ignores[type] = new HashSet<string>();

        foreach (var prop in jsonPropertyNames)
            _ignores[type].Add(prop);
    }

    public void RenameProperty(Type type, string propertyName, string newJsonPropertyName)
    {
        if (!_renames.ContainsKey(type))
            _renames[type] = new Dictionary<string, string>();

        _renames[type][propertyName] = newJsonPropertyName;
    }

    protected override JsonProperty CreateProperty(MemberInfo member, MemberSerialization memberSerialization)
    {
        var property = base.CreateProperty(member, memberSerialization);

        if (IsIgnored(property.DeclaringType, property.PropertyName))
        {
            property.ShouldSerialize = i => false;
            property.Ignored = true;
        }

        if (IsRenamed(property.DeclaringType, property.PropertyName, out var newJsonPropertyName))
            property.PropertyName = newJsonPropertyName;

        return property;
    }

    private bool IsIgnored(Type type, string jsonPropertyName)
    {
        if (!_ignores.ContainsKey(type))
            return false;

        return _ignores[type].Contains(jsonPropertyName);
    }

    private bool IsRenamed(Type type, string jsonPropertyName, out string newJsonPropertyName)
    {
        Dictionary<string, string> renames;

        if (!_renames.TryGetValue(type, out renames) || !renames.TryGetValue(jsonPropertyName, out newJsonPropertyName))
        {
            newJsonPropertyName = null;
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
}
