Json serialization property order

[goncalo-oliveira]

It would be nice to have properties ordered in the output of a serialization. Not the most important thing in the world, but it would be interesting.

A custom converter that orders all properties alphabetically would probably fix it. There are a few challenges there, such as JsonExtensionDataAttribute, but it is feasible.

Or... giving the possibility to extend the JsonSerializerOptions in the static KubernetesJson class.

As I said, not the most important thing in the world. To me it is a bit annoying to read a json dump and have the apiVersion and kind at the bottom.

hmm, it should be configurable. maybe something like https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp/blob/master/src/KubernetesClient.Models/ModelVersionConverter.cs

I think it's worth mentioning that the YAML serializer also has some weird symptoms. Maybe it should be a separate discussion...

Consider the following

var app = new V1Alpha1Application
{
    ApiVersion = "apps.faactory.io/v1alpha1",
    Kind = "Application",
    Metadata = new k8s.Models.V1ObjectMeta
    {
        Name = name,
        NamespaceProperty = ns
    },
    Spec = new V1Alpha1Application.ApplicationSpec
    {
        Image = specImage,
        Port = specPort
    }
};

var yaml = k8s.KubernetesYaml.Serialize( app );

And the yaml...

spec:
  image: gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
  port: 8080
metadata:
  name: confident-hawking
apiVersion: apps.faactory.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
