Windows Phone - Serialization for tombstoning

Question

I'm looking for a Serializer for Windows Phone 8. The DataContractSerializer doesn't work for me because the data members needs to be public and they need public setters.

I don't need a huge library for tombstoning, I think a smart serializer would fit for me. It would be nice if the serializer returns a serialization-string that can be stored into PhoneApplicationPage.State because i Dont't want to use the IsolatedStorage.

Well you could use Json.net which you can install with nuget.

Not sure if that works for you though, when DataContractSerializer doesn't. Serialize example:

String result = await JsonConvert.SerializeObjectAsync(yourobject);

or

String result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(yourobject);

and deserialize example:

T _data = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(yourstringobject);

Is it possible to store the Type of serialization object into the JSON, because I have different object types and do not know it at runtime. – zirkelc Jun 25 '13 at 19:32
@websocialist I don't know, sorry – Stefan Wexel Jun 25 '13 at 19:35
Is there support for binary format, because I have a byte array field and need to serialize them too? – zirkelc Jun 26 '13 at 19:53
