Unable to use DataContractJsonSerializer in Xamarin.Mac - json

Question

I was using the following to convert my properties to JSON in windows and it is working very well but now I am trying to do the same in Xamarin on my Mac but it is unable to recognize DataContractJsonSerializer. Below is the code i was using on windows:
public static string JsonSerializer(T t)
{
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
ser.WriteObject(ms, t);
string jsonString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray());
ms.Close();
//Replace Json Date String
string p = #"\\/Date\((\d+)\+\d+\)\\/";
MatchEvaluator matchEvaluator = new MatchEvaluator(ConvertJsonDateToDateString);
Regex reg = new Regex(p);
jsonString = reg.Replace(jsonString, matchEvaluator);
return jsonString;
}
Can anyone in finding a workaround so that i can use this in my Xamarin.Mac project.

Solved problem by myself. I used Json.Net like this:
//Convert "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" String as "\/Date(1319266795390+0800)\/"
string p = #"\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}";
MatchEvaluator matchEvaluator = new MatchEvaluator(ConvertDateStringToJsonDate);
Regex reg = new Regex(p);
jsonString = reg.Replace(jsonString, matchEvaluator);
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonString));
JsonReader reader = new JsonTextReader(new StreamReader(ms));
T obj2 = serializer.Deserialize<T>(reader);
//T obj = (T)ser.ReadObject(ms);
return obj2;
Results are same.
