Serialize.EfCore is a .NET library that provides functionality to serialize and deserialize EfCore LINQ expressions. This library is useful in scenarios where you need to send LINQ expressions over the wire or persist them in a database.
- Serialize and deserialize EfCore expressions to XML, and JSON.
- Supports various types of expressions, including binary, unary, member access, lambda, and more.
- Extensible design that allows you to add support for custom expressions.
You can install Serialize.EfCore via [NuGet][1]:
Install-Package Serialize.EfCore
Here's a simple example of how to use Serialize.EfCore:
// Create an expression
Expression<Func<int, bool>> expression = num => num < 5;
// Create a serializer
var serializer = new ExpressionSerializer(new JsonSerializer());
// Serialize the expression
string serializedExpression = serializer.SerializeText(expression);
//Set DbContext
var context = new ExpressionContext();
context.DbContext = new DbContext(new DbContextOptions<DbContext>());
// Deserialize the expression
var deserializedExpression = serializer.DeserializeText(serializedExpression, context);We welcome contributions to Serialize.EfCore!
