Json.Net for deserialization

[JohnnyFun]

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for implementing patch operations! It's exactly what I need for what I'm doing.

One question: is there a way I can easily substitute in json.net instead of JavaScriptSerializer? Or do you know if someone has forked and made that change or is working on it?

Thanks,

-John

If you're using asp.net core and nancy v2 then this might be a good option as it uses json.net jchannon/Nancy.JsonPatch.Core

Shoot, we're on .net 4.5 for this particular project. Thanks for the suggestion though

Sorry for the slow reply, not sure why I didn't get a notification for this.
Assuming it's not too late...

It's not currently possible, but wouldn't be too difficult. We would need to implement a new version of JsonPatchDocumentParser, and add some way of allowing it to be swapped out (probably a new extension method in JsonPatchModuleExtensions).

Let me know if I can help any more.. all pull requests will be gratefully received 😄

No worries, Dave. I was also able to work around the issue I ran into, so it all worked out.

I just finished up the project that I used it in, and its working great for what we need with my workaround. Later on, I'll consider doing a pull request with something like what you mentioned, but if I do it'll honestly be a while--hopping on a new project with kind of a tight deadline. So it goes...

Thanks for your input and of course for writing the library!
