PopulateData with NewtonSoft instead of DataContractJsonSerializer

[Mihaela purav]

Hello,

I'm trying to use NewtonSoft instead of DataContractJsonSerializer?

Is it not a better solution more simple?

 private static T PopulateData(string fileName)

        {

            var localFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);

            

            

            var fileText = File.ReadAllText(Path.Combine(localFolder, fileName));

            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(fileText);

            

            T obj;

            using (var stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray))

            {

                using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))

               

                {

                    var json = reader.ReadToEnd();

                    obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

                }

            }

           

            return obj;

        }
