I frequently need to use the interface object expressions feature when referring to types that come from abstracted core libraries as properties in concrete types.
However, it seems that these types are not serializable in FSharp.Json. E.g.:
#r "nuget: FSharp.Json"
open FSharp.Json
type IThing =
abstract member value: int
type Thing = { innerThing: IThing }
{
innerThing =
{ new IThing with
member _.value = 1
}
}
|> Json.serialize
yields
FSharp.Json.JsonSerializationError: Unknown type: IThing

Is there a way to configure this behavior? Either pass in a serializing function or simply mark these fields to be skipped?
