SetItIn.Json 0.4.0

Set it in!

A very simple and straightforward way of working with user and application settings in .NET

Access, create, and persist user and application settings at run time using the following implementations:

• Memory Settings
• JSON Settings
• XML Settngs

Targets .NET Standard 1.3

Installation

For XML:

Install-Package SetItIn.Xml

For JSON:

Install-Package SetItIn.Json

Usage example

var localAppDataFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
var jsonFile = Path.Combine(appDataFolder, "MyApp", "MySettings.json");

ISettings settings = new JsonSettings(jsonFile);

settings.Set("Chuck", "Norris");
settings.Set("Walker, Texas Ranger episodes", 201);
settings.Set("Can Chuck Norris divide by zero?", true);

if (settings.Get("Walker, Texas Ranger episodes", out int episodes))
    Console.WriteLine($"8 seasons and {episodes} episodes.");

Don't forget to save the settings

settings.Save();

Load them from the file at any time

settings.Load();

It does work with reference types as well

public class UserSetting
{
    public string Value1 { get; set; }
    public string Value2 { get; set; }
}

settings.Set("MySetting", new UserSetting { Value1 = "A", Value2 = "B" });

// ... save it on shutdown
settings.Save();

// ... load it on startup
settings.Load();

if (settings.Get("MySetting", out UserSetting mySetting))
    // do something with it
