Examples

HierarchySerializer converts any object graph into a hierarchical node structure (IHierarchy<DataPair>) for inspection and path-based representation. This example creates a ReportRoot with a Name of "alpha" and a ReportChild with Count = 7, passes it to the HierarchySerializer constructor, and accesses the root node's instance type name, checks whether it has children, and prints the tree path representation via ToString(). Key steps include constructing a serializer from a plain object and reading the resulting node properties. Console output displays the ReportRoot type name, True for HasChildren, and a path-based tree showing ReportRoot > ReportChild.

public static class HierarchySerializerExample

    {
        public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;

        public ReportChild Child { get; set; } = new ReportChild();
    }

    private sealed class ReportChild
    {
        public int Count { get; set; }
    }

    public static void Demonstrate()
    {
        var serializer = new HierarchySerializer(new ReportRoot
        {
            Name = "alpha",
            Child = new ReportChild { Count = 7 }
        });

        Console.WriteLine(serializer.Nodes.InstanceType.Name);
        Console.WriteLine(serializer.Nodes.HasChildren);
        Console.WriteLine(serializer.ToString());
    }
}
