Any reason why this feature is implemented directly on DefaultJsonSerializer, instead of ObjectReflectionCache ? |

this excludes a public field named Type on Exception objects, and add regression

Allow the JSON serializer to include public instance fields in the output in addition to public properties, controlled by the new JsonSerializeOptions.IncludePublicFields flag (default false to keep existing behaviour). Field metadata is cached per type like enum and property reflection lookups. Closes NLog#3920

The logic seems very complicated, do you have so complex DataTransferObjects (DTO) ? Or is it the AI making up the requirements? I was thinking that only if no properties found, then fallback to checking for public-fields (when feature enabled) |
|
fair, simplified it. it only falls back to public fields now when the type has no properties. |

Align mixed-member output with the public option contract. The fallback excludes public fields whenever a type has a public property. The test then treats that exclusion as correct, although the option promises fields in addition to properties. (github.com)

Problem
Closes #3920
Summary
Adds an option to the NLog JSON serializer to include public instance
fields in the output, not just public properties. The behaviour is
controlled by a new flag
JsonSerializeOptions.IncludePublicFieldswhich defaults to
false, so existing output is unchanged unless theoption is explicitly enabled.
Motivation
Issue #3920 asks that the NLog JsonSerializer be able to serialize
Fields in addition to Properties, to help bend older applications
(which expose data as public fields) into structured logging without
having to write a fully custom serializer.
Changes
src/NLog/Targets/JsonSerializeOptions.csbool IncludePublicFields { get; set; }property (defaultfalse),documented with the same XML-doc default-value convention used by the
other options in the class.
src/NLog/Targets/DefaultJsonSerializer.csIncludePublicFieldsis enabled, after serializing the objectproperties the serializer also emits the public instance fields of the
object, reusing the existing property-serialization pattern (delimiter
handling, simple TypeCode fast-path, recursive object serialization,
per-member failure isolation).
FieldInfo+TypeCode) is cached per type inan
MruCache, consistent with the existing enum and object-propertyreflection caches, to avoid repeated reflection cost.
How tested
tests/NLog.UnitTests/Targets/DefaultJsonSerializerClassTests.cs:IncludePublicFields_Enabled_SerializesPublicFieldsAlongsidePropertiesasserts fields are emitted next to properties when the option is on.
IncludePublicFields_Disabled_SkipsPublicFieldsasserts fields areomitted (unchanged behaviour) when the option is off.
dotnet test -f net8.0 --filter DefaultJsonSerializerClass:5 passed, 0 failed (3 pre-existing + 2 new).
serialization branch and confirming the enabled-case test fails, then
restored.
