How to use a custom JSON Serializer in Servicestack?

I am wondering how you can use a custom JSON Serializer in ServiceStack. I am aware of the JsConfig.SerializeFn/DeSerializeFn but these seem to always 'JSON.stringify' the result of my custom Serializer.

I like to replace Serialization for the whole DTO. The endresult should be something like

{"Name":"Greg"}

and not

"{\"Name\":\"Greg\"}"

Is that possible?

In terms of other hooks in ServiceStack's JSON Serializers there's also JsConfig<T>.RawSerializeFn and JsConfig<T>.RawDeserializeFn which should do what you need.

Otherwise if you just want to some pre/post processing there's also the JsConfig<T>.OnSerializingFn and JsConfig<T>.OnDeserializedFn custom hooks.

Did you mean to use ServiceStack.Text.JsonSerializer.SerializeToString(object, typeof(object))? If you using it in a view in .net you might need to use Html.Raw(ServiceStack.Text.JsonSerializer.SerializeToString(object, typeof(object))).
