Destructurama.JsonNet

Adds support for logging JSON.NET dynamic types as structured data with Serilog. For System.Text.Json dynamic types see this repo.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

Install-Package Destructurama.JsonNet

Usage

Modify logger configuration:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration().Destructure.JsonNetTypes()

Now any JSON.NET dynamic object can be represented in the log event's properties:

using Destructurama;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Serilog;

var logger1 = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();
var logger2 = new LoggerConfiguration().Destructure.JsonNetTypes().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();

var json = """
    {
      "name": "Tom",
      "age": 42,
      "isDeveloper": true
    }
    """;

var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);

logger1.Information("Deserialized without JsonNetTypes(): {@Obj}", obj);

logger2.Information("Deserialized with JsonNetTypes(): {@Obj}", obj);

Console.ReadKey();

Output:

[20:27:59 INF] Deserialized without JsonNetTypes(): [[[]], [[]], [[]]]
[20:27:59 INF] Deserialized with JsonNetTypes(): {"name": "Tom", "age": 42, "isDeveloper": true}
