Which .NET JSON serializers can deal with NHiberna

Question

Which .NET JSON serializers can deal with NHibernate proxy objects? I tried using JSON.NET but it craps out when it hits a proxied object.

Answer 1

I would say that the best idea would be to deal with the proxy objects rather than actually find another way to serialise JSON. I have answered another question which involves eager loading these proxy objects in a legacy database which returns either the correct object or null here. Please also note that with the proper database set up with foreign keys and definite links between objects/tables you shouldn't run into any proxy objects. Also note that this is not what is required for fluent NHibernate, I am assuming that you are using separate hbm mapping files.

Good luck!
