C# 11: guide with ValueTuple Deserialization from JSON When Using System.Text.Json
I've spent hours debugging this and I've spent hours debugging this and I tried several approaches but none seem to work..... I'm migrating some code and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm experiencing an scenario when deserializing a `ValueTuple` from JSON using `System.Text.Json` in C# 11. I have the following model defined: ```csharp public class DataModel { public (int, string) Info { get; set; } } ``` When I try to deserialize a JSON string like this: ```json {"Info":{"Item1":1,"Item2":"Test"}} ``` I get the behavior: `System.Text.Json.JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to System.ValueTuple`. I've also tried adding both a custom converter and modifying the JSON structure, but I keep working with similar issues. Here’s the converter I attempted to use: ```csharp public class ValueTupleConverter : JsonConverter<(int, string)> { public override (int, string) Read(ref Utf8JsonReader reader, typeof(ValueTuple) typeToConvert, JsonSerializerOptions options) { if (reader.TokenType == JsonTokenType.StartObject) { reader.Read(); // StartObject reader.Read(); // Item1 int item1 = reader.GetInt32(); reader.Read(); // Item2 reader.Read(); // Get the string string item2 = reader.GetString(); reader.Read(); // EndObject return (item1, item2); } throw new JsonException(); } public override void Write(Utf8JsonWriter writer, (int, string) value, JsonSerializerOptions options) { writer.WriteStartObject(); writer.WriteNumber("Item1", value.Item1); writer.WriteString("Item2", value.Item2); writer.WriteEndObject(); } } ``` And registered it with: ```csharp var options = new JsonSerializerOptions(); options.Converters.Add(new ValueTupleConverter()); ``` Despite this setup, I get the same deserialization behavior. Is there anything I'm missing in the configuration or the converter implementation? I want to keep using `ValueTuple`, but I'm not sure how to properly handle this scenario with `System.Text.Json` in C# 11. I'm working in a Windows 11 environment. I'd be grateful for any help. I'm using C# 3.11 in this project. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning C#. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
