Examples

ASP.NET Core AddControllers() configures default MVC services with System.Text.Json by default, which doesn't support custom Newtonsoft.Json converters or environment-aware exception sensitivity. Switching to Newtonsoft.Json requires registering input/output formatters with consistent configuration. The MvcBuilderExtensions class provides chainable extension methods on IMvcBuilder that register Newtonsoft.Json formatters and apply NewtonsoftJsonFormatterOptions, ensuring all MVC endpoints use consistent JSON serialization behavior. This example demonstrates registering and configuring Newtonsoft.Json formatters:

using Codebelt.Extensions.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Newtonsoft.Json;
using Codebelt.Extensions.Newtonsoft.Json.Formatters;
using Cuemon.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

namespace Examples;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

        var mvcBuilder = builder.Services
            .AddControllers()
            .AddNewtonsoftJsonFormatters(options =>
            {
                options.SensitivityDetails = FaultSensitivityDetails.All;
            });

        mvcBuilder.AddNewtonsoftJsonFormattersOptions(options =>
        {
            options.SensitivityDetails = FaultSensitivityDetails.All;
        });

        var app = builder.Build();
        app.MapControllers();
        app.Run();
    }
}
