# Serialize.Linq

Serialize.Linq is a .NET library that provides functionality to serialize and deserialize LINQ expressions.

This library is useful in scenarios where you need to send LINQ expressions over the wire or persist them in a database.

## Features

- Serialize and deserialize LINQ expressions to XML, JSON, and binary formats.

- Supports various types of expressions, including binary, unary, member access, lambda, and more.

- Extensible design that allows you to add support for custom expressions.

## Getting Started

### Installation

You can install Serialize.Linq via [NuGet][1]:

```

Install-Package Serialize.Linq

```

### Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use Serialize.Linq:

```csharp

// Create an expression

Expression> expression = num => num < 5;

// Create a serializer

var serializer = new ExpressionSerializer(new JsonSerializer());

// Serialize the expression

string serializedExpression = serializer.SerializeText(expression);

// Deserialize the expression

var deserializedExpression = serializer.DeserializeText(serializedExpression);

```
