Bug: The serialization to json string is not executed. The result is always an empty object (˙{}).
Solution: Custom json converter is required.
Proof of concept code (nested converter and ignored properties):
[JsonConverter(typeof(ContentConverter))]
public partial class Content : DynamicObject
{
public class ContentConverter : JsonConverter
{
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return objectType == typeof(Content);
}
public override bool CanRead => false;
public override bool CanWrite => true;
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
var content = (Content)value;
var json = new JObject();
foreach (var field in content.FieldNames)
{
json[field] = JToken.FromObject(content[field], serializer);
}
var properties = content.GetType().GetProperties();
foreach (var property in properties)
{
if(property.Name != "Item")
if(property.GetCustomAttribute<JsonIgnoreAttribute>() == null)
json[property.Name] = JToken.FromObject(property.GetValue(content), serializer);
}
foreach (var item in content._fields)
{
json[item.Key] = JToken.FromObject(item.Value, serializer);
}
json.WriteTo(writer);
}
}
...

public string ParentPath

public IRepository Repository { get; internal set; }
Discussion: This conversion can be slower than mapping to a well-known data transfer object with a mapper library (e.g. AutoMapper or Mapster)
