ServiceStack.Text is an independent, dependency-free assembly that contains all of ServiceStack's text processing functionality, including:

* TypeSerializer and the JSV-format
* JSON Serializer
* TypeSerializer and the JSV-format
* T.Dump() Extension Method

## ServiceStack.TypeSerializer and the JSV-format
Included in this project is `TypeSerializer` - The fastest and most compact text-based serializer for .NET. It's a light-weight compact Text Serializer which can be used to serialize any .NET data type including your own custom POCO's and DataContract's. More info on its JSV Format can be found on the [introductory post](http://www.servicestack.net/mythz_blog/?p=176).

## ServiceStack.JsonSerializer - the fastest JSON Serializer for .NET
For reasons outlined [in this blog post](http://www.servicestack.net/mythz_blog/?p=344) I decided to re-use *TypeSerializer's* text processing-core to create ServiceStack.JsonSerializer - the fastest JSON Serializer for .NET.

Based on the [Northwind Benchmarks](http://www.servicestack.net/benchmarks/NorthwindDatabaseRowsSerialization.100000-times.2010-08-17.html) it's *3.6x* faster than .NET's BCL JsonDataContractSerializer and *3x* faster then the previous fastest JSON serializer benchmarked - [JSON.NET](http://json.codeplex.com/).

## T.Dump() Extension method
Another useful library to have in your .NET toolbox is the [T.Dump() Extension Method](http://www.servicestack.net/mythz_blog/?p=202). Under the hood it uses a *Pretty Print* Output of the JSV Format to recursively dump the contents of any .NET object. Example usage and output:
