How to use CrystalJson, the custom JSON library in SnowBank.Core (namespace SnowBank.Data.Json). Covers the JsonValue DOM (JsonObject / JsonArray / JsonString / JsonNumber / JsonBoolean / JsonNull / JsonDateTime), the read-only vs mutable model, the CrystalJson static API (Serialize / Parse / Deserialize) and CrystalJsonSettings, the Roslyn source generator for fast reflection-free serializers and read-only/writable proxies ([CrystalJsonConverter] / [CrystalSerializable]), the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CrystalJson (SnowBank.Data.Json)

CrystalJson is a high-performance, allocation-conscious JSON stack. It is **not** `System.Text.Json` or Newtonsoft -
the type names look familiar (`JsonObject`, `JsonArray`, ...) but the API is different. The namespace is
`SnowBank.Data.Json`. Add `using SnowBank.Data.Json;`.

There are **two layers**, used together:

1. **The DOM** - `JsonValue` and its subtypes. A mutable-or-immutable tree you build, parse, navigate, and serialize.
   Use it for schemaless / dynamic JSON (config, arbitrary documents, change records).
2. **The source generator** - `[CrystalJsonConverter]` + `[CrystalSerializable(typeof(T))]` generate fast,
   reflection-free, AOT-friendly converters for your POCOs, plus typed **read-only / writable proxies** over the DOM.
   Use it for your domain types.

`CrystalJson` (static class) is the entry point for serialize/parse/deserialize regardless of layer.

---

## 1. The JsonValue DOM

`JsonValue` is the abstract base. Concrete types and their `JsonType`:

| Type | `JsonType` | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `JsonObject` | `Object` | key -> value map; mutable **or** read-only |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snowbanksdk/foundationdb-dotnet-client/crystaljson@sha256:dc95cb62639e3ea7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.a2bb41b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
