## CultureInfoConverter Class

A custom JSON converter for [System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo 'System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo') objects\.
It allows for the serialization and deserialization of [System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo 'System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo') instances
when working with JSON data\.

```csharp
public class CultureInfoConverter : System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonConverter<System.Globalization.CultureInfo>
```

Inheritance [System\.Object](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object 'System\.Object') → [System\.Text\.Json\.Serialization\.JsonConverter](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.json.serialization.jsonconverter 'System\.Text\.Json\.Serialization\.JsonConverter') → [System\.Text\.Json\.Serialization\.JsonConverter&lt;](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.json.serialization.jsonconverter-1 'System\.Text\.Json\.Serialization\.JsonConverter\`1')[System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo 'System\.Globalization\.CultureInfo')[&gt;](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.json.serialization.jsonconverter-1 'System\.Text\.Json\.Serialization\.JsonConverter\`1') → CultureInfoConverter

#### Exceptions

[System\.Text\.Json\.JsonException](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.json.jsonexception 'System\.Text\.Json\.JsonException')  
Thrown when the JSON token is not a string or null, or if the string is not a valid culture identifier\.

## CultureInfoConverter\.Write\(Utf8JsonWriter, CultureInfo, JsonSerializerOptions\) Method {#Abblix.Utils.Json.CultureInfoConverter.Write(System.Text.Json.Utf8JsonWriter,System.Globalization.CultureInfo,System.Text.Json.JsonSerializerOptions)}
