Folke.Localization.Json

This is an implementation of IStringLocalizer from ASP.NET 5 that uses Json files.

Initialize it in you Startup ConfigureServices method:

services.AddJsonLocalization(options =>
{
	options.ResourceFilesDirectory = "res"; // The directory that contains the resources
	options.DefaultBaseName = "text"; // The default sub-directory name
});

For a Sample.Type type and the culture ab-CD, the service will look for a JSON file in the following order:

• {ResourceFilesDirectory}/{Sample.Type}/{ab-CD}.json
• {ResourceFilesDirectory}/{Sample.Type}/default.json
• {ResourceFilesDirectory}/{DefaultBaseName}/{ab-CD}.json
• {ResourceFilesDirectory}/{DefaultBaseName}/default.json

The JSON file may be a tree of string values. The keys are formed using the : separator. For example for the file:

{
	"first": {
		"second": "value"
	},
	"third": "other value"
}

The key first:second would return value and the key third would return other value. Any other key would result in an error.
