The equivalent types in System.Text.Json —
JsonClassInfo
andJsonPropertyInfo
— are internal. There is an open enhancement
Equivalent of DefaultContractResolver in System.Text.Json #31257
asking for a public equivalent. – dbc Nov 25 at 19:11

I wrote this as an extension to System.Text.Json to offer missing features: https://github.com/dahomey-technologies/Dahomey.Json.
You will find support for programmatic object mapping.
Define your own implementation of IObjectMappingConvention:
public class SelectiveSerializer : IObjectMappingConvention
{
private readonly IObjectMappingConvention defaultObjectMappingConvention = new DefaultObjectMappingConvention();
private readonly string[] fields;
public SelectiveSerializer(string fields)
{
var fieldColl = fields.Split(',');
this.fields = fieldColl
.Select(f => f.ToLower().Trim())
.ToArray();
}
public void Apply<T>(JsonSerializerOptions options, ObjectMapping<T> objectMapping) where T : class
{
defaultObjectMappingConvention.Apply<T>(options, objectMapping);
foreach (IMemberMapping memberMapping in objectMapping.MemberMappings)
{
if (memberMapping is MemberMapping<T> member)
{
member.SetShouldSerializeMethod(o => fields.Contains(member.MemberName.ToLower()));
}
}
}
}
Define your class:
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
}
Setup json extensions by calling on JsonSerializerOptions the extension method SetupExtensions defined in the namespace Dahomey.Json:
JsonSerializerOptions options = new JsonSerializerOptions();
options.SetupExtensions();
Register the new object mapping convention for the class:
options.GetObjectMappingConventionRegistry().RegisterConvention(
typeof(Employee), new SelectiveSerializer("FirstName,Email,Id"));
Then serialize your class with the regular Sytem.Text.Json API:
Employee employee = new Employee
{
Id = 12,
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Doe",
Email = "john.doe@acme.com"
};
string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(employee, options);
// {"Id":12,"FirstName":"John","Email":"john.doe@acme.com"};
