After instaling the package you need to add the newtonsoft.json.dll into assemble path by runing the flowing command.

Before we can use our assembly, we have to add it to the global assembly cache (GAC). Open the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt again (for Vista/Windows7/etc. open it as Administrator). And execute the following command. gacutil /i d:\myMethodsForSSIS\myMethodsForSSIS\bin\Release\myMethodsForSSIS.dll

If you are developing a  Net Core WebApi or WebSite you dont not need to install newtownsoft json to perform json serialization deserealization  Just make sure that your controller method returns a JsonResult and call return Json  lt objectoToSerialize gt    like this example  namespace WebApi Controllers        Produces  application json         Route  api Accounts        public class AccountsController   Controller                  GET  api Transaction          HttpGet          public JsonResult Get                         List lt Account gt  lstAccounts               lstAccounts   AccountsFacade GetAll                 return Json lstAccounts                       If you are developing a  Net Framework WebApi or WebSite you need to use NuGet to download and install the newtonsoft json package   Project  -   Manage NuGet packages  -   Search for  newtonsoft json   -  click  install    namespace WebApi Controllers        Produces  application json         Route  api Accounts        public class AccountsController   Controller                  GET  api Transaction          HttpGet          public JsonResult Get                         List lt Account gt  lstAccounts               lstAccounts   AccountsFacade GetAll                   This line is different                 return new JsonConvert SerializeObject lstAccounts                       More details can be found here - https   docs microsoft com en-us aspnet core web-api advanced formatting view aspnetcore-2 1
