jikan.net

Jikan.net is a .NET wrapper for Jikan RESTful API for parsing data from MyAnimeList. Main objective of the wrapper is to simplify utilization of Jikan API, as strongly typed languages are not-so-easy to use with elastic json (sure we can go use dynamics in .NET, but let's think about performance).

Main attributes

• Written in to work with .NET Standard 2.0, compatible with .NET Framework (4.6.1 or newer) and .NET (6.0 or newer).
• Fully asynchromous request fetching (can be forced to synchromous if needed).
• Light on dependencies
  • No dependencies if you are using .NET 6.0+
  • Single dependancy for .NET Framework (System.Text.Json).
• Usable with Dependency Injection.
