Extension Methods: Extension Methods / Serializer

TL;DR — This page mirrors the Extension Methods / Serializer section from Extension Methods as a focused reference.

When to use

Use this page when you need the focused member list, signatures, and source notes for this section without scanning the full parent reference.

Edge cases

  • This page is generated from the parent reference section; edit the source XML docs or generator when content needs to change.
  • If a linked source member is renamed, regenerate the reference docs before changing prose by hand.
