Need a JSON parser for Unity3d

Question

I need to deserialize some JSON objects. I tried to use Tiny-json library, but it's too slow. I tried to use Newtonsoft.Json, but it fails in webplayer with this error:

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.KeyedCollection.

What JSON parser do you recommend?

Answer 1

You can try one of these open source solutions:

• https://github.com/jacobdufault/fullserializer
• https://github.com/mtschoen/JSONObject (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/710) I am using this one most of the times, it's versbose but does its job well, not sure about performance however

Or go with paid ones:

Answer 2

Unity 5.3 added Native support of Json Serializer. It is faster than others.

JsonUtility.ToJson to convert a class to Json.

JsonUtility.FromJson to convert Json back to class.
