What alternate to use for System.Web.Helpers.Json.Encode() in .net core 3.1?

Question

I am porting a .Net framework built MVC application to .Net Core 3.1 and I have a case where System.Web.Helpers.Json.Encode() methods have been used.

As System.Web.Helpers is not available in .Net Core, any idea what alternate to use?

This should be reopened b/c it asks about .NET Core, not .NET Framework (which is the "duplicate" answeer refers to) — Alex from Jitbit, Aug 26 '21 at 09:27

You can use the built-in json serializer (System.Text.Json)

var obj = getMyObject();
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(obj);
