JSon Parsing issues!

I am trying to get a game up-to-date with all the latest SDKs. I started by bringing it up to Unity 2017 - there are a lot of Unity 2018 issues that I am not sure I should take on for this release.

I then updated the PlayFab SDK using the "update" button in the editor extensions. I got several file missing errors that I canceled. It all seems to work with minimal test time. There is a warning on this statement:

stringserverVersionValue=PlayFab.Json.JsonWrapper.SerializeObject(result.FunctionResult);

The warning it generates;

Assets/Scripts/Managers/PlayFabManager.cs(1023,56): warning CS0618: `PlayFab.Json.JsonWrapper' is obsolete: `This class is deprecated, please use PlayFab.PluginManager.GetPlugin(..) instead.'

I have read a lot about JSon parsing in Playfab specifically:

https://community.playfab.com/questions/13025/json-serialization.html

https://community.playfab.com/questions/736/209040958-SimpleJson.html

Looking at the source there is a SimpleJSon.cs file in the PlayFab SDK install. It is uses the SimpleJSON namespace.

I have tried lots of syntactic experiments and I cannot get anything like the example:

string json = PlayFab.SimpleJson.SerializeObject(yourObj);

to compile.

This statement:

stringjsonserverVersionValue=PlayFab.SimpleJson.SerializeObject(result.FunctionResult);

Generates the error:

/Users/dale/Documents/JAC/KK-app-min-iMac/Assets/Scripts/Managers/PlayFabManager.cs(41,41): Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'SimpleJson' does not exist in the namespace 'PlayFab' (are you missing an assembly reference?) (CS0234) (KK-app-min-iMac)

I have tried different "using" combinations.

Then went back in the repo. Hand removed all things PlayFab. Reinstalled that latest UnityPF SDK and no luck. Same issues still. What am I doing wrong? For "simple" JSON it is not come very close so far. :-)

Sorry for the confusion. We marked the JSONWrapper as obsolete but have put up much documentation about how to use the new Plugin Manager. There's a bit in the repo here:

https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK/blob/master/PluginManager.md

We definitely aren't forcing anyone to move over to the plugin manager, but if you want to clear all the warnings you can try replacing instances of JSONWrapper with this instead:

PlayFab.PluginManager.GetPlugin<ISerializerPlugin>(PluginContract.PlayFab_Serializer)

I'd recommend just getting the plugin once and then reusing it everywhere you need it.

Is SimpleJSon dead? Though the source file still seems to be there. I given time line constraints I think i will just leave it with JSONWrapper unless you see that being killed sometime soon, which it seems like you are not.

It's not dead. We still use it as our JSON serializer. We just don't expose it in such a way that users can reasonably access it. JSONWrapper should be fine for now. I've heard nothing about any plans to kill it. When you get a chance, I would recommend looking at how to utilize the PluginManager class properly.
