Quartz.Serialization.Json

Quartz.Serialization.Json provides JSON serialization for ADO.NET job stores using Json.NET.

Tip: For new projects consider Quartz.Serialization.SystemTextJson, which uses System.Text.Json. JSON is the recommended persistent format; also set UseProperties = true to keep job data map values as strings.

Installation

dotnet add package Quartz.Serialization.Json

Usage

Using the scheduler builder:

var config = SchedulerBuilder.Create();
config.UsePersistentStore(store =>
{
    store.UseProperties = true;
    store.UseGenericDatabase(dbProvider, db => db.ConnectionString = "my connection string");
    store.UseNewtonsoftJsonSerializer();
});

Or via properties (newtonsoft is the preferred alias from Quartz 3.10 onwards):

quartz.serializer.type = newtonsoft
