Create a custom Roslyn source generator in C# by implementing the IIncrementalGenerator interface. This approach enables efficient, incremental code generation during compilation, reducing boilerplate and improving compile-time safety.

.NET source generators are used for automating repetitive code generation tasks at compile-time. They reduce boilerplate, enhance compile-time safety, and optimize performance for AOT compatibility without runtime overhead.

Yes, you can use source generators to automatically generate INotifyPropertyChanged implementations for ViewModel properties. This automates repetitive code generation tasks and reduces boilerplate in .NET applications.

.NET supports built-in source generators for JSON serialization through System.Text.Json. Leveraging these generators optimizes performance and ensures AOT compatibility by generating serialization code at compile-time.

Test Roslyn source generators in .NET using dedicated testing methodologies covered by the skill. This includes verifying incremental generator patterns, validating diagnostic reporting, and ensuring generated code correctness.
