    The below is not working in .Net Core 3.0

    The below is the code in startup.cs

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
            {

    services.AddControllers().AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
                {
                    options.SerializerSettings.NullValueHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.NullValueHandling.Ignore;
                });

    }

    If I post an order with null value in string, its not ignored in [FromBody]

    below is my swagger example:

    {
      "date": "2020-02-27T15:49:24.189Z",
      "temperatureC": 0,
      "summary": null
    }

    here Summary is null. When I post an order I expected the pyaload shouldn't have the Summary proerty in this.

    here is my Controller code:

    [HttpPost]
            public ActionResult Post([FromBody] WeatherForecast body)
            {
                var rng = new Random();

                var b = body.Date;

                return null;
            }

    When I click on Post and  debugged, summary field is present with value is null, instead of ignoring this string its sending null value.

    Newtonsoft.Json.NullValueHandling.Ignore is not working since it is for serializing object instead of your  deserializing/model binding.Besides, a type must have all specifc fileds.

    It will be ignored when using like

    [HttpPost]
public void PostData([FromBody] WeatherForecast body)
        {
            string ignored = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(body);//work like this
           
        }

    I do not know what are you expected to do that but it is not likely  to remove the null fields from a type on model binding.

    hello friend try the bellow code may help

    JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, 
                            Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None, 
                            new JsonSerializerSettings { 
                                NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
                            });
	OR

JsonSerializerSettings settings = new JsonSerializerSettings();
settings.NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore;
var myJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, settings);

OR
		var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings();
		
		settings.NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore;
		settings.DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Ignore;
		
		
		Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(user, settings));

    Thank you but I dont want to do as part of Each controller method. Is there any way I can do as part of startup.cs.

    in 2_2 version it was working fine when we ignore the values in statup.cs, not sure why its not in core3.0

    Thank you. Looks like this will work if I write the code for each controller but I want to enforce this from startup.cs, which was working in .Net core 2.2 but not in 3.0
