Question: How would I specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture alongside table.ToString("j")

[RushkaVenter]

Version: Parquet.Net v3.9.1

Runtime Version: .Net Core 3.1

OS: Windows/Linux/MacOSX v etc.

Expected behavior

When using ToString("j") on a Parquet.Data.Rows.Row object, the string should return a string formatted like a json string.

Actual behavior

When using ToString("j") on a Parquet.Data.Rows.Row object, the string returns a string formatted like a json string, however, the decimal values within the parquet is "12,5" and the json string looks like {"property_name": 12,5, "property_name_2: value} which is not a valid json string.

Normally you would be able to specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to get the decimals to convert as "12.5". How would you do that here?

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create an ParquetReader from a file with decimal values
2. Read the parquet file as a table.
3. Select the first row of the table
4. Convert the the row to string
5. Deserialize the json string

Code snippet reproducing the behavior

 using (var parquetReader = new ParquetReader(ms))
  {
      var table = parquetReader.ReadAsTable();
      var firstItem = table.FirstOrDefault();
      Console.WriteLine(firstItem.ToString("j"));
      var obj = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<ItemModel>(firstItem.ToString("j"));
  }

this is by design, you're welcome to improve it

How is it by design to return broken JSON? And if a fix is welcomed, why not consider this a bug and keep the issue opened?
My team is also affected by this issue. We actually switched to this ToString() method because class deserialization also is broken due to #434
