serialize/deserialize List to JSON

Question

I want to be able to serialize/deserialize a generic list what I so far is this

    public static string ToJson(this object obj, int recursionDepth = 100) 
    {         


        

Answer 1

Try this on for size:

public static T ToObject<T>(this string obj, int recursionDepth = 100)
{
    JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    serializer.RecursionLimit = recursionDepth;
    return serializer.Deserialize<T>(obj);
}

Then use it like this:

mystring.ToObject<List<MyClass>>();
