How to tell if a class is supported by .Net Standard Library?

Question

My current specific situation is that I want to use DataContractSerializer Class in a library supporting .NETStandard1.3. I am unable to reference it in the library. The document gives me an impression that it is a part of .Net Standard Library. Could you anyone offer a tip on how to determine if a class is supported by .Net Standard Library?

Answer 1

Your one-stop shop for all .NET-based APIs .NET API Browser

• select .Net Standard
• select version
• Enter your search: DataContractSerializer

You find DataContractSerializer in .Net Standard 2.0 only

Answer 2

The first version supporting that is .NET Standard 2.0.

You can search at apisof to find out what frameworks contain an API.

Answer 3

You are looking at the .NET Core docs.

In the .NET Support chart:

you can see that NetStandard1.3 does not support .NET Core. You'd have to move up to 2.0
