The ReadJsonOrDefault method attempts to read a JSON file and deserialize its contents into an object of type T. If the file cannot be read or deserialized, the method returns a default value specified by the caller.
To use the ReadJsonOrDefault method, provide the filename of the JSON file you wish to read and a default value to return in case of an error. This method is useful when you want to ensure that your application can continue to function even if the JSON file is missing or corrupted.
// Example usage of ReadJsonOrDefault var fileSystem = new BaseFileSystem(); string filename = "config.json"; MyConfig defaultConfig = new MyConfig(); // Attempt to read the JSON file, or return the default configuration MyConfig config = fileSystem.ReadJsonOrDefault<MyConfig>(filename, defaultConfig); // Use the config object Console.WriteLine(config.SomeProperty);
