Newtonsoft BSON Serializer

NuGet Package: NServiceBus.Newtonsoft.Json (2.x)
Target Version: NServiceBus 7.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
{
    static ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger<IMutateIncomingTransportMessages>();

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