JSON Performance in .NET with Binary Data (testing...)(james.newtonking.com)

submitted by JamesNK(3020) 2 years, 3 months ago

Binary data and text file formats (JSON, XML) don’t tend get along. To be included in JSON or XML binary data has to be encode into a text friendly format, generally base64, which creates overhead both in the time spent encoding/decoding binary, and the extra size of the text encoded data in the message. In our test we’ll compare serializing a message with binary data using common .NET serialization methods and compare the result. read more...

A Simple .NET Profanity Filter(james.newtonking.com)

submitted by JamesNK(3020) 2 years, 10 months ago

A website I am working on right now accepts public comments, and one of the requirements is to do a basic check for dirty language. Surprisingly for such a common problem I wasn’t able to find any code on the net that did what I wanted and so I’ve ended up writing my own. The Censor class is pretty simple: you give it a list of words you want to censor, either simple text or with wildcards, and the censor will star out any matches it finds. read more...

The spec has objects, arrays, strings, integers and floats, but it defines no standard for what a date looks like. This post looks at how Json.NET handles reading and writing custom date formats. read more...
