What is json-everything?

The primary philosophy behind json-everything is to ensure that common JSON functionality has good support in the System.Text.Json space.

The first step to that is checking whether there exist other projects that support a given function.

If so, that effort likely won't be duplicated here. A bit farther down you'll find a list of other projects that are doing some cool things with JSON.

Otherwise, it's open to consideration for this project.

What's in the box?

There are actually multiple boxes. Each piece of functionality has been broken out into its own library, so you can pick and choose the one(s) that you need.

All libraries are built to .Net Standard 2.0 and .Net 8.

JsonSchema.Net	JSON Schema, drafts 6 and higher
JsonSchema.Net.Generation	Generation of schemas from .Net types
JsonSchema.Net.Generation.DataAnnotations	Schema generation support for System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.
JsonSchema.Net.DataGeneration	Random instance data generation (powered by Bogus)
JsonSchema.Net.Data	A vocabulary for accessing instance and external data
JsonSchema.Net.ArrayExt	A vocabulary for extending array validation
JsonSchema.Net.OpenApi	OpenApi 3.1 vocabulary extension (used by Graeae)
JsonPath.Net	JSON Path (RFC 9535)
JsonPatch.Net	JSON Patch (RFC 6902)
JsonPointer.Net	JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) and Relative JSON Pointer (Specification)
JsonLogic	JsonLogic (Website)
JsonE.Net	JSON-e (Website)
Json.More.Net	General-use extensions that probably should have been included in System.Text.Json[.Nodes] but weren't
Yaml2JsonNode	Conversions between the YAML document model in YamlDotNet and JsonNode (both directions).

All of the above libraries offer complete support for their associated specifications.

Error message translations for JsonSchema.Net available in:

• Italian it
• Norwegian nb-NO
• Polish pl-PL
• Russian ru
• Spanish es
• Swedish sv-SE
• Turkish tr-TR

NOTE Each language pack is provided by its own Nuget package.

You can also view JSON Schema Test Suite results on Bowtie, which runs the test suite against multiple implementations across different platforms.

DISCLAIMER My library, JsonSchema.Net, is not related to or associated with the website https://jsonschema.net, except that they are both excellent JSON Schema tools.

Deprecated packages

These packages have also been a part of this suite but are no longer supported.

JsonSchema.Net.CodeGeneration

Generation of C# code from schemas

Deprecated in favor of Corvus.JsonSchema

System.Text.Json support by other projects

If you don't find what you're looking for here, please try one of these excellent projects:

• JsonCons.Net by @danielaparker
  • JSON Pointer
  • JSON Patch
  • JSON Merge Patch
  • JSON Path
  • JMES Path
• Corvus.JsonSchema by @mwadams
  • JSON Schema validation with a C# code generation focus
• (more to come)

If you use JSON to do something that is not covered by a library in this suite or one of the above projects, feel free to create a feature issue.

If you maintain or know of another project that extends System.Text.Json to do cool things, I'd like to list it here, so please create a general issue to let me know about it.
