Registering a custom JsonConverter globally in Json.Net

by

Yes, this is possible using Json.Net 5.0.5 or later. See JsonConvert.DefaultSettings.

JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => new JsonSerializerSettings
{
    Converters = new List<JsonConverter> { new SomeConverter() }
};

// Later on...
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(someObject);  // this will use SomeConverter

If you’re using Web API, you can set up a converter globally like this instead:

var config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;
var jsonSettings = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings;
jsonSettings.Converters.Add(new SomeConverter());
