A list of paid, free or open source C#, F# and .NET plugins, libraries and tools for Serialization / deserialization including JSON, HTML, XML, JSV and CSV Text Serializers for import and export. Sourced under a creative commons. This list will be updated regularly. Email over the URL, if you wish to be included.

C# and .NET plugins, libraries and tools for ElasticSearch, Solr and Lucene

• Ceras – Ceras is a binary serializer. It converts any object into a byte[] and back. It goes above and beyond in terms of features, speed, and comfort. Supports reference loops, large/complicated inheritance chains, splitting objects into parts and more.
• CsvExport – Very simple & lightweight CSV exporter, Excel friendly, escapes text & quotes etc.
• Protobuf.NET – Protocol buffers is the name of the binary serialization format used by Google for much of their data communications
• Json.NET – Popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET
• ServiceStack.Text – JSON, JSV and CSV Text Serializers used in servicestack.net
• Msgpack-Cli – MessagePack implementation for Common Language Infrastructure
• Jil – Fast .NET JSON serializer, built on Sigil (used by StackOverflow)
• ProtoBuf – Generate C# code for protocol buffer serialization from a .proto specification.
• FlatSharp – Fast, idiomatic FlatBuffers implementation. Use .fbs files or attributes.
• F# Data – F# type providers for accessing XML, JSON, CSV and HTML files (based on sample documents) and for accessing WorldBank data
• Bond – cross-platform framework for working with schematized data. It supports cross-language de/serialization and powerful generic mechanisms for efficiently manipulating data.
• Hyperion – A high performance polymorphic serializer for the .NET framework.
• FileHelpers – free and easy to use .NET library to import or export data from fixed length or delimited records in files, strings or streams.
• FsPickler – A fast multi-format message serializer for .NET
• Migrant – Fast and flexible serialization framework usable on undecorated classes.
• Utf8Json – Fast and Zero Allocation JSON Serializer for C#(.NET, .NET Core, Unity and Xamarin), this serializer write/read directly to UTF8 binary so boostup performance.
• ObjectDumper.NET – Serializes in-memory object to C# code.
• FluentSerializer – A profile-based Serializer for multiple data-formats.
