Network Configuration

NetworkConfig class allows to define basic network configuration like encoding or serializer.

Server or Client instance can be created with custom configuration by passing NetworkConfig instance to their constructor.

To change default network configuration:

NetworkConfig.Default = new NetworkConfig(...);

Encoding

By default all text messages are encoded using UTF8.

Serializer

By default Json.NET is used for serialization, with following implementation:

public class NewtonsoftJsonSerializer : INetworkSerializer
{
    private readonly JsonSerializer _serializer;

    public NewtonsoftJsonSerializer()
    {
        var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings 
        { 
            // Required for internal dynamic type handling  
            TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Auto
        };
        _serializer = JsonSerializer.CreateDefault(settings);
    }


    public void Serialize(Stream stream, object value)
    {
        using var writer = new StreamWriter(stream);
        using var jsonWriter = new JsonTextWriter(writer);

        _serializer.Serialize(jsonWriter, value);
    }
    public object Deserialize(Stream stream, Type type)
    {
        using var reader = new StreamReader(stream);
        using var jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(reader);

        var value = _serializer.Deserialize(jsonReader, type);
        return value;
    }
}
