# Class ParametersSerializer

OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ParametersSerializer

Provides JSON serialization helpers for process parameter values persisted by the Workflow Engine runtime.

Namespace: [OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/)

```csharp
public static class ParametersSerializer
```

## Methods

`public static object Deserialize(string serializedValue, Type parameterType)` 

Deserializes a JSON parameter value into the specified `parameterType`, using [ParametersSerializer.Settings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/ParametersSerializer/) for JSON.NET conversion.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `serializedValue` | `String` | The serialized JSON value. |
| `parameterType` | `Type` | The target parameter type. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `Object` | The deserialized object of type `parameterType`. |

### Remarks

When `parameterType` is [DynamicParameter](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/), the method uses [DynamicParameter.ParseJson(string)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) instead of JSON.NET conversion.

`public static T Deserialize<T>(string serializedValue)` 

Deserializes a JSON parameter value into a strongly typed result, using [ParametersSerializer.Settings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/ParametersSerializer/) for JSON.NET conversion.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `serializedValue` | `String` | The serialized JSON value. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `{T}` | The deserialized object as `T`. |

### Remarks

When `T` is [DynamicParameter](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/), the method uses [DynamicParameter.ParseJson(string)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) instead of JSON.NET conversion.

`public static string Serialize(object value, Type parameterType)` 

Serializes a parameter value using [ParametersSerializer.Settings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/ParametersSerializer/) for JSON.NET conversion.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `value` | `Object` | The value to serialize. |
| `parameterType` | `Type` | The static type of `value`. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `String` | The serialized JSON string, or [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null) when `value` is [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null). |

### Remarks

A [DynamicParameter](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) value is serialized by [DynamicParameter.SerializeToJson()](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) instead of JSON.NET conversion.

`public static string Serialize(object value)` 

Serializes a parameter value using [ParametersSerializer.Settings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/ParametersSerializer/) for JSON.NET conversion.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `value` | `Object` | The value to serialize. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `String` | The serialized JSON string, or [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null) when `value` is [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null). |

### Remarks

A [DynamicParameter](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) value is serialized by [DynamicParameter.SerializeToJson()](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/DynamicParameter/) instead of JSON.NET conversion.

## Fields

`public static JsonSerializerSettings Settings` 

Shared JsonSerializerSettings passed to JSON.NET when serializing and deserializing process parameter values.
