Support encoding parameter

[gandhis1]

The encoding parameter accepts an Encoding value, such as Encoding.UTF8. However when I put it in my appsettings.json the conversion does not work:

System.InvalidCastException: "Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.Text.Encoding'"

I'm surprised something so basic is not supported, so am I doing something wrong, or is it actually not supported?

Edit: I thought this was an enum, it actually isn't, it's a singleton....

Hi @gandhis1 ,
correct syntax for such parameter is System.Text.Encoding::UTF8

We should update the documentation regarding this.
HTH!
