{
  encoding = encoding ?? Encoding.Default;
  serializer = serializer ?? new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));

  using (var stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
  {
    serializer.WriteObject(stream, item);
    var json = encoding.GetString((stream.ToArray()));

    return json;
  }        
}
