What is the best way to deal with deserializing JSON? For example, if the JSON you are trying to deserialize has a bunch of nested properties, modelling it with Types seems really, really verbose and cumbersome. Is there a better way? How about some sort of dynamic (gasp) type in F#? Also, to compl…

Take a look at Thoth.Json: https://mangelmaxime.github.io/Thoth/json/decode.html . It works with .NET Core, just use Thoth.Json.Net package. I used it few days ago in core project. Side note: FSharp.Data should work with core if you use prerelease version (nuget Fsharp.Data prerelease in paket.depen…

I think FSharp.Data works with .NET Core (I’m using it right now), but it’s in beta. If you’re using Paket, you’ll have to pin it to the pre-release beta version ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Data/3.0.0-beta3 ). I don’t know that there’s a “best” way…Json.NET suits my needs about 90% of th…

I think FSharp.Json is good. Today I just used it for my own stuff, and it works fine so far.

I like Thoth.Json . It can be used for both .NET and Fable code. It’s a bit more work to define decoders and encoders for your types but you get type safety.

You should really have a look at Fleece since AFAIK provides all the functionality of the above mentioned libs plus the possibility to use overloading (for implicit codecs), a single synchronized method for serialization/deserialization and choice of FSharp.Data, Newtonsoft or System.Json.

I didn’t realize Fleece was still around. The link appears broken, btw.
