Class inheritance not supported in deserialization?

[LordDevil1980]

Hey there :)

I was trying to switch over from Json.NET to your utf8Json.

But I found out that it does not support inheritance of classes?

Example:

public abstract class JsonDBItem
    {
        public int ID { get { return _id; } }
        private int _id = -1;
    }

   public class Card: JsonDBItem
    {
        public string Name { get { return name; } }
        private string name = 0;
    }

Json:
"_id": 1,
"name": "DummyName"

I have AllowPrivate set to true - so the Json file will deserialize the name, but not the properties from the inherited class JsonDBItem -> ID is still empty - in Json.NET this worked. Any chance to make this possible in utf8json?

Thanks alot,
Oliver

thanks, this is related to MessagePack-CSharp/MessagePack-CSharp#174
currently does not search base type's private member.
I'll fix it.

I've uploaded 1.3.7 that includes this fix, please try it.

Oh thats great thanks so much neuecc !! Now I should be able to switch over from old Json.net library to yours 👍

I have v1.3.7 and I have this issue with interface inheritance, the inherited interface has properties that don't get serialized...
I'm using Moq to create a mocked ISomeInterface that inherits from IBaseInterface, then calling JsonSerializer.NonGeneric.Serialize(typeof(ISomeInterface), obj) ... it only serializes ISomeInterface's properties, not IBaseInterface's.

I'll create a separate issue for this, I see the problem in the commit that adds this for 1.3.7; you're checking BaseType but not interfaces for public properties...
