James Newton-King is announcing that Json.NET with version number 7.0 Release 1 is already available to download.

What is Json.NET ?

Json.NET is A lightweight C# library for working with JSON data in .NET, with support for both serialization and dedeserialization operations . JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format. In today's Internet it is a widely used format for storing and transferring data between applications and various programming languages.Json.NET is a C# tool that can both convert to and from the JSON format, writing and reading data as needed.The library can handle both normal .NET objects-to-JSON and vice versa, along with LINQ-to-JSON and vice versa, and XML-to-JSON and vice versa.On top of this, Json.NET is also considerably faster than .NET's built-in JSON serializers and produces properly formatted JSON data, much more easier to read than the mangled text that the built-in serializers normally output.Json.NET is also available via NuGet. This is changelog for Json.NET version 7.0 Release 1 :

• New features:
• DiscriminatedUnionConverter performance improvements
• Added JsonRequiredAttribute
• Added JsonSerializerSettings.ReferenceResolverProvider property
