Configure Serialization Format - Binary & JSON Serialization
NCache offers both Binary and JSON serialization, (you can read more about them here). By default, it uses the Binary Format Serialization. To enable JSON serialization on your cache, you can follow the steps below.
Note
It is recommended that you use JSON serialization if you are using ASP.NET 5.0 and above. For more details click here.
Note
JSON serialization is available in NCache Enterprise and Professional.
Note
You cannot JSON serialize an InProc cache because by default the data format of an InProc cache is object.
Binary & JSON Serialization Using the NCache Management Center
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251
on Windows and Linux.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache that needs configuration.
Important
Ensure the cache stops before proceeding.
- Against the cache name, click on View Details.
This opens up the detailed configuration page for the cache. Go to the Advanced Settings tab and click on Cluster Settings in the left bar.
Change the Serialization to either Binary or JSON.
Click on Save Changes to apply this configuration to the cache.
Start the cache to resume operations.
Manually Editing NCache Configuration
You can also specify the cache serialization format through config.ncconf.
<cache-config ...>
<cache-settings inproc="False" last-modified="" auto-start="False" data-format="Serialized" serialization="Json">
</cache-config>
