人们已经讨论过将[JsonIgnore]添加到类中的虚拟属性，例如:

[JsonIgnore]
public virtual Project Project { get; set; }

我还将分享另一个选项，[JsonProperty(NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling. ignore)]，仅当它为空时才从序列化中省略该属性:

[JsonProperty(NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
public virtual Project Project { get; set; }

使用JsonSerializerSettings

ReferenceLoopHandling。如果遇到引用循环，Error(默认)将出错。这就是为什么会出现异常。 ReferenceLoopHandling。如果对象嵌套但不是无限的，序列化是有用的。 ReferenceLoopHandling。如果对象是自身的子对象，Ignore将不会序列化该对象。

例子:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(YourPOCOHere, Formatting.Indented, 
new JsonSerializerSettings 
{ 
        ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Serialize
});

如果你必须序列化一个无限嵌套的对象，你可以使用PreserveObjectReferences来避免StackOverflowException。

例子:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(YourPOCOHere, Formatting.Indented, 
new JsonSerializerSettings 
{ 
        PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects
});

选择对要序列化的对象有意义的内容。

参考http://james.newtonking.com/json/help/

我有这个例外，我的工作解决方案很简单，

通过添加JsonIgnore属性来忽略引用属性:

[JsonIgnore]
public MyClass currentClass { get; set; }

反序列化时重置属性:

Source = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObject>(JsonTxt);
foreach (var item in Source)
        {
            Source.MyClass = item;
        }

使用Newtonsoft.Json;

您也可以将属性应用到属性。 [JsonProperty(ReferenceLoopHandling =…)属性非常适合这一点。

例如:

/// <summary>
/// Represents the exception information of an event
/// </summary>
public class ExceptionInfo
{
    // ...code omitted for brevity...

    /// <summary>
    /// An inner (nested) error.
    /// </summary>
    [JsonProperty( ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore, IsReference = true )]
    public ExceptionInfo Inner { get; set; }

    // ...code omitted for brevity...    
}

希望有帮助， 扬

在。net 5中。使用下面的代码更新startup.cs中的ConfigureServices方法

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ----------------
    ----------------
    services.AddMvc().AddJsonOptions(options =>
    {
        options.JsonSerializerOptions.ReferenceHandler = ReferenceHandler.Preserve;
    });
    ------------------
}

默认情况下，序列化(System.Text.Json.Serialization)不支持带周期的对象，也不保留重复引用。使用Preserve可以在序列化时保存唯一的对象引用，并在反序列化时使用元数据读取保存的引用。 MSDN链接

最好的解决方案是从Web API中的循环引用处理(这个答案的大部分都是从这里复制的):

修复1:全局忽略循环引用

(我已经选择/尝试了这一个，就像其他许多人一样)

The json.net serializer has an option to ignore circular references. Put the following code in WebApiConfig.cs file: config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore; The simple fix will make serializer to ignore the reference which will cause a loop. However, it has limitations: The data loses the looping reference information The fix only applies to JSON.net The level of references can't be controlled if there is a deep reference chain

如果你想在非api的ASP中使用这个修复。NET项目，你可以添加上述行到Global.asax.cs，但首先添加:

var config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;

如果你想在.Net Core项目中使用它，你可以将Startup.cs更改为:

var mvc = services.AddMvc(options =>
{
   ...
})
.AddJsonOptions(x => x.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore);

Fix 2: Preserving circular reference globally This second fix is similar to the first. Just change the code to: config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Serialize; config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects; The data shape will be changed after applying this setting. [ { "$id":"1", "Category":{ "$id":"2", "Products":[ { "$id":"3", "Category":{ "$ref":"2" }, "Id":2, "Name":"Yogurt" }, { "$ref":"1" } ], "Id":1, "Name":"Diary" }, "Id":1, "Name":"Whole Milk" }, { "$ref":"3" } ] The $id and $ref keeps the all the references and makes the object graph level flat, but the client code needs to know the shape change to consume the data and it only applies to JSON.NET serializer as well. Fix 3: Ignore and preserve reference attributes This fix is decorate attributes on model class to control the serialization behavior on model or property level. To ignore the property: public class Category { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } [JsonIgnore] [IgnoreDataMember] public virtual ICollection<Product> Products { get; set; } } JsonIgnore is for JSON.NET and IgnoreDataMember is for XmlDCSerializer. To preserve reference: // Fix 3 [JsonObject(IsReference = true)] public class Category { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } // Fix 3 //[JsonIgnore] //[IgnoreDataMember] public virtual ICollection<Product> Products { get; set; } } [DataContract(IsReference = true)] public class Product { [Key] public int Id { get; set; } [DataMember] public string Name { get; set; } [DataMember] public virtual Category Category { get; set; } } JsonObject(IsReference = true)] is for JSON.NET and [DataContract(IsReference = true)] is for XmlDCSerializer. Note that: after applying DataContract on class, you need to add DataMember to properties that you want to serialize. The attributes can be applied on both json and xml serializer and gives more controls on model class.
