Consider migration from JSON.NET (Newtonsoft) to System.Text.Json

[udlose]

The new implementation of System.Text.Json (added in .NET Core 3.0) is now being implemented widespread by the .NET Core team as a replacement for Newtonsoft (JSON.NET). From How to migrate from Newtonsoft.Json to System.Text.Json

System.Text.Json focuses primarily on performance, security, and standards compliance. It has some key differences in default behavior and doesn't aim to have feature parity with Newtonsoft.Json. For some scenarios, System.Text.Json has no built-in functionality, but there are recommended workarounds.

The motivation behind development of this is described here: The future of JSON in .NET Core 3.0

It would seem that migration should be considered since this is the direction of MS and the feature-set and capabilities of System.Text.Json will only grow moving forward. I appreciate your consideration.
