See how JetBrains Rider 2023.1 has visualizers for common formats to help you increase your development productivity.

In recent .NET versions, there's a new way to build JSON-based APIs with ASP.NET Core: Minimal APIs. Inspired by previous attempts in the ASP.NET ecosystem and elements from other communities, the Minimal APIs approach is an attempt to simplify the development of JSON-producing HTTP APIs. This post explores why it makes sense to use Minimal APIs, the programming model compared to ASP.NET Core MVC, and some drawbacks that might make you consider using it. Why ASP.NET Core Minimal API? Over several versions of .NET Core and .NET, performance has been a central focus of the .NET team. Wh

When working with databases, there are a few tenets to keep in mind to maximize your application's performance. First, reduce the number of network calls. Second, reduce the complexity of your queries. Third, reduce the data retrieved in your result set. If you're an Entity Framework Core 7 user, you can strive to meet these using JSON columns. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a language-independent format widely used across many technologies and ecosystems. However, while JSON support has been available in most database engines for quite some time, the EF Core team only recently releas

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a text based, language independent data format. It’s more widely used than any other format, surpassing XML and others in popularity. That’s because JSON is meant to address the shortcomings of other data formats so that it’s lightweight and works well in the stateless internet. JSON is often used in many scenarios, for example, as a data transport format for HTTP APIs, in configuration files, or even as a self contained data file. The good news for us is that Rider contains many features to help us work effectively with JSON data. Let’s take a look at h
