Class DelegatingConverterBase<T>

Converter which does nothing but delegate to another one for all operations.

Inherited Members
Namespace: NodaTime.Serialization.SystemTextJson
Assembly: NodaTime.Serialization.SystemTextJson.dll
Syntax
public abstract class DelegatingConverterBase<T> : JsonConverter<T>
Type Parameters
Name Description
T The type of object or value handled by the converter.
Remarks
Nothing in this class is specific to Noda Time. Its purpose is to make it easy to reuse other converter instances with LocalDate, which can only identify a converter by type.
Examples

If you had some JsonConverterAttribute properties which needed one converter, but others that needed another, you might want to have different types implementing those converters. Each type would just derive from this, passing the right converter into the base constructor. 

public sealed class ShortDateConverter : DelegatingConverterBase
{
    public ShortDateConverter() : base(NodaConverters.LocalDateConverter) {}
}
