PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses.Json 1.0.0

PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses.Json

Introduction

Provides a System.Text.Json converter for the EmailAddress value object from PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses. Enables seamless serialization and deserialization of RFC 5322 compliant email addresses within JSON documents.

Install

You can install the package from NuGet:

dotnet add package PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses.Json

This package depends on the base package PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses.

Features

• Provides a JsonConverter<EmailAddress> for serialization and deserialization.
• Ensures validation of RFC 5322 compliant email addresses when deserializing.
• Can be used via attributes ([JsonConverter]) or through JsonSerializerOptions extension method.
• Ensures consistency with the base EmailAddress value object.

Use cases

• Serialization: Convert value objects into JSON strings without losing semantics
• Validation: Guarantee that only valid RFC 5322 email addresses are accepted in JSON payloads
• Integration: Plug directly into System.Text.Json configuration

Examples

Example 1: DTO with [JsonConverter] attribute

using System.Text.Json;
using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses.Json;

public class UserDto
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(EmailAddressJsonConverter))]
    public EmailAddress Email { get; set; } = default!;
}

// Serialization
var dto = new UserDto { Email = "john.doe@example.com" };
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(dto);
// Result: {"Email":"john.doe@example.com"}

// Deserialization
var input = "{ "Email": "alice@company.org" }";
var deserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UserDto>(input);
Console.WriteLine(deserialized!.Email); // "alice@company.org"

Example 2: Use extension method without attributes

using System.Text.Json;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.EmailAddresses;

public class CustomerDto
{
    public EmailAddress Email { get; set; } = default!;
}

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions().AddEmailAddressesConverters();

// Serialization
var dto = new CustomerDto { Email = "bob@myapp.com" };
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(dto, options);
// Result: {"Email":"bob@myapp.com"}

// Deserialization
var input = "{ "Email": "carol@myapp.com" }";
var deserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<CustomerDto>(input, options);
Console.WriteLine(deserialized!.Email); // "carol@myapp.com"
