This function was pretty important to the functionality of one of our modules. Is there some other way to do this now?

`context.getProjectManager().find(<projectName>)`?

Actually adding to this, also needed is the `RuntimeProjectJsonSerializer.toJson ` which is now RuntimeResourceCollectionSerializaer.forCollection().serialize()

method, but I’m not sure how to use the new JsonSerializationContext. Is there some default context or builder?

If you have a _project_ to serialize (curious what your end goal is, if you're willing to share) you want `RuntimeResourceCollectionSerializer.forProject()`.

But you don't actually have to do that.  
`com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.resourcecollection.json.ProjectEncoder.get()` gives you an instance with a bunch of utilities.

Ah that might work even better! Thanks. Don’t believe I can give exact details, but its an internal tool my company uses for development
