Newtonsoft BSON Serializer

NuGet Package: NServiceBus.Newtonsoft.Json (4.x)
Target Version: NServiceBus 9.x

This sample uses the Newtonsoft serializer NServiceBus.Newtonsoft.Json and configures it to use BSON.

Configuring to use NServiceBus.Newtonsoft.Json

var endpointConfiguration = new EndpointConfiguration("Samples.Serialization.ExternalBson");

var serialization = endpointConfiguration.UseSerialization<NewtonsoftJsonSerializer>();
serialization.ContentTypeKey("application/bson");
serialization.ReaderCreator(stream => new BsonDataReader(stream));
serialization.WriterCreator(stream => new BsonDataWriter(stream));

Diagnostic mutator

A helper that will write out the contents of any incoming message.

public class MessageBodyWriter :
    IMutateIncomingTransportMessages
{
    readonly static ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger<IMutateIncomingTransportMessages>();

    public Task MutateIncoming(MutateIncomingTransportMessageContext context)
    {
        var bodyAsString = Encoding.UTF8
            .GetString(context.Body.ToArray());

        log.Info("Serialized Message Body:");
        log.Info(bodyAsString);

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
}

Register the mutator.

endpointConfiguration.RegisterMessageMutator(new MessageBodyWriter());

Sending a message

var message = new CreateOrder
{
    OrderId = 9,
    Date = DateTime.Now,
    CustomerId = 12,
    OrderItems = new List<OrderItem>
            {
                new OrderItem
                {
                    ItemId = 6,
                    Quantity = 2
                },
                new OrderItem
                {
                    ItemId = 5,
                    Quantity = 4
                },
            }
};
await endpointInstance.SendLocal(message);
