c# - Easiest way to use JSON.Net for both BSON and JSON? -

i have pieces of data byte arrays byte[], , need render them base64 in json, raw byte arrays in bson.

how can in json.net?

so, far have so:

class data {     public byte[] bytes{get;set;} } 

converting bson fine, when converting json, of course not base64 encoded , treated string

hmm, using following code json.net 6.0.1, appears work want no special treatment: byte arrays converted base-64 strings , vice versa. serializing objects in different way, or using old version? if not, can provide code demonstrates problem?

string s = "foo bar baz quux";  data data = new data {     bytes = encoding.utf8.getbytes(s) };  string json = jsonconvert.serializeobject(data); console.writeline(json);  data = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<data>(json); console.writeline(encoding.utf8.getstring(data.bytes)); 

output:

{"bytes":"rm9viejhcibcyxoguxv1ea=="} foo bar baz quux
