修复方法是忽略循环引用，不序列化它们。此行为在JsonSerializerSettings中指定。

带重载的单个JsonConvert:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(YourObject, Formatting.Indented,
    new JsonSerializerSettings() {
        ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
    }
);

Global.asax.cs中的Application_Start()代码中的全局设置:

JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => new JsonSerializerSettings {
     Formatting = Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented,
     ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
};

参考:https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/issues/78

c#代码:

            var jsonSerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
            {
                ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Serialize,
                PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects,
            };

            var jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object2Serialize, jsonSerializerSettings);

            var filePath = @"E:\json.json";

            File.WriteAllText(filePath, jsonString);

在WebApiConfig.cs类中使用:

var json = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
json.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects;
config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);

要在MVC 6中忽略循环引用并且不全局序列化它们，请在startup.cs中使用以下命令:

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc().Configure<MvcOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.OutputFormatters.RemoveTypesOf<JsonOutputFormatter>();
            var jsonOutputFormatter = new JsonOutputFormatter();
            jsonOutputFormatter.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
            options.OutputFormatters.Insert(0, jsonOutputFormatter);
        });
    }

如果你使用的是。net Core 2。x，更新Startup.cs中的ConfigureServices部分

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/querying/related-data/serialization

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
    ...

    services.AddMvc()
        .AddJsonOptions(options => 
          options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = 
            Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
        );

    ...
    }

如果你使用的是。net Core 3。x - 5.0，没有MVC，它将是:

# startup.cs
services.AddControllers()
  .AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
      options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling =
        Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
   );

对于。net 6.0，唯一的不同是它现在进入Program.cs。

# program.cs
services.AddControllers()
   .AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
      options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = 
        Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore);

如果你使用实体框架和数据库优先的设计模式，这个引用循环处理几乎是强制性的。

我们可以将这两行添加到DbContext类构造函数中以禁用Self引用循环，例如

public TestContext()
        : base("name=TestContext")
{
    this.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
    this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
}
