Description

The `Serialize` method of the `ConfigData` class is responsible for converting the current state of the `ConfigData` object into a JSON representation. This method returns a `JsonObject` that contains the serialized data of the `ConfigData` instance. The serialization process includes all public properties of the object, except those marked with the `JsonIgnoreAttribute`. This method is useful for persisting configuration data or for transmitting it over a network in a structured format.

Usage

To use the `Serialize` method, you need to have an instance of the `ConfigData` class. Once you have the instance, simply call the `Serialize` method to obtain a `JsonObject` representing the current state of the object. Note that properties marked with `JsonIgnoreAttribute` will not be included in the serialized output. Additionally, properties with custom JSON property names, as specified by `JsonPropertyNameAttribute`, will use those names in the resulting JSON object.

Example

// Create an instance of ConfigData
ConfigData configData = new ConfigData();

// Set some properties on the configData instance
configData.Version = 1;

// Serialize the configData instance to a JsonObject
System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonObject jsonObject = configData.Serialize();

// The jsonObject now contains the serialized data of configData
// You can use jsonObject.ToString() to get the JSON string representation
string jsonString = jsonObject.ToString();

// Output the JSON string
// Example output: { "__guid": "some-guid-value" }
