Provides functionality to serialize objects or value types to JSON, XML and to deserialize JSON, XML into objects or value types.
var data = new string[] { "a", "b", "c" };
var toJsonData = Serializer.ToJson(data);
var fromJsonData = Serializer.FromJson<string[]>(toJsonData);
var toXmlData = Serializer.ToXml(data);
var fromXmlData = Serializer.FromXml<string[]>(toXmlData);
Includes a set of practical methods for validation.
var input = "http://www.jackwill.com";
bool isValidUrl = Validator.IsValidUrl(input);
bool isValidEmail = Validator.IsValidEmail(input);
Includes a set of practical methods for pluralizing and singularizing words (english only).
var pluralWord = "people";
var singularWord = "person";
string pluralizedWord = Pluralizer.Pluralize(singularWord);
string singularizeWord = Pluralizer.Singularize(pluralWord);
An implementation of PBKDF2 hash algorithm for hashing and verifing passwords.
var password = "p4$$w0rd";
string hashedPassword = PasswordHasher.Hash(password);
bool verifyingHashResult = PasswordHasher.Verify(password, hashedPassword);
Allows applications to send email by using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
// custom smtp server
var mailer_1 = new Mailer("smtp.gmail.com", 587, "username", "password");
// predefined smtp servers
var mailer_2 = new Mailer(Mailer.ClientTypes.Gmail, "username", "password");
// sending email
mailer_1.Send(recipient: "test@gmail.com", subject: "my subject", body: "my text");
mailer_1.SendAsync(recipient: "test@gmail.com", subject: "my subject", body: "my text");
var recipients = new string[] { "test1@gmail.com", "test2@gmail.com" };
// sending email
mailer_2.Send(recipients: recipients, subject: "my subject", body: "my text");
mailer_2.SendAsync(recipients: recipients, subject: "my subject", body: "my text");A set of methods for date conversions along with other practical methods.
var dateTime = DateTime.Now;
// Iranian Date
var toIranianDate = Dater.ToIranSolar(dateTime, format: "yyyy MMMM dd");
var fromIranianDate = Dater.FromIranSolar(toIranianDate);
// Afghanistanian Date
var toAfghanistanianDate = Dater.ToAfghanistanSolar(dateTime, format: "yyyy MMMM dd");
var fromAfghanistanianDate = Dater.FromAfghanistanSolar(toAfghanistanianDate);
// Custom - based on culture name
var toCanadaDate = Dater.ToSolar(dateTime, format: "yyyy/MMMM/dd", culture: "ca");
var fromCanadaDate = Dater.FromSolar(toCanadaDate, culture: "ca");Represents a pseudo-random data generator, which is an algorithm that produces a sequence of data that meet certain statistical requirements for randomness.
// Random byte
byte randomByte = Randomizer.RandomByte();
byte[] randomBytes = Randomizer.RandomBytes(8);
// Rnadom int32
int randomInt_1 = Randomizer.RandomInt();
int randomInt_2 = Randomizer.RandomInt(maxValue: 100);
int randomInt_3 = Randomizer.RandomInt(minValue: 10, maxValue: 100);
// Random int64
long randomLong_1 = Randomizer.RandomLong();
long randomLong_2 = Randomizer.RandomLong(maxValue: 100);
long randomLong_3 = Randomizer.RandomLong(minValue: 10, maxValue: 100);
// Random float
float randomFloat = Randomizer.RandomFloat();
// Random double
double randomDouble = Randomizer.RandomDouble();
// Rnadom bool
bool randomBool = Randomizer.RandomBool();
// Random color
Color randomColor = Randomizer.RandomColor();
// Random date time
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
DateTime randomDate_1 = Randomizer.RandomDateTime();
DateTime randomDate_2 = Randomizer.RandomDateTime(fromDate: now.AddDays(-10), toDate: now);
// Random GUID
string guid = Randomizer.RandomGuid();
// Random AlphaNmerics
string alphaNmerics = Randomizer.RandomAlphaNmeric(10);
// Random Word(s)
string randomWord = Randomizer.RandomWord();
string randomWords_1 = Randomizer.RandomWords(count: 2);
string randomWords_2 = Randomizer.RandomWords(minCount: 3, maxCount: 5);
// Plus too many other methods (explore).
