Yes, this is the same content as the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repository.

Any help given on this project is massively appreciated! ❤

Contributing can be done by writing docs and code, or simply by asking a question! If you find something questionable, then so will probably many others as well. If you find something not working as expected, telling us or publish a pull request that fixes it is the best way around this.

Before starting, please read the guidelines on the subject on which you wish to dig into before contributing to Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity.

Found an Issue?

If you find a bug in the source code or a mistake in the documentation, you can help by submitting an issue to the GitHub Repository. Even better you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.

When submitting an issue please include the following information:

  • A description of the issue

  • The JSON, classes, and Json.NET code related to the issue

  • The exception message and stacktrace if an error was thrown

  • Version of the Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity package you were using (ex: 12.0.101)

  • Version of the Unity Editor (ex: 2019.1.1f1)

  • Does your issue only appear on certain build targets? (ex: Windows Standalone, Android, WebGL, even the Editor?)

  • If possible, please include code that reproduces the issue. Dropbox or GitHub's Gist can be used to share large code samples, or you could submit a pull request with the issue reproduced in a new test.

  • When creating an issue use the Bug Report issue template.

The more information you include about the issue, the more likely it is to be fixed!
