System.Text.Json(JsonDocument/JsonElement) support in LINQPad 6?

sdflysha

As the blog saids, the new System.Text.Json is faster and efficient than Newtonsoft.Json, especially in UTF-8 area.
Do we have any plan to support System.Text.Json?

var doc = JsonDocument.Parse(utf8ByteContent); // just like JObject/JToken
doc.Dump();

What would you expect LINQPad to output?

JsonDocument is not like Newtsonsoft.Json - there are no properties for LINQPad to walk.

To use it, you write code like this:

doc.RootElement.GetProperty ("runtimeTarget").GetProperty ("name").GetString();

Well, looks like this is not possible for JsonDocument.😂

Looks like there is some improvement room for .NET Core 6.0 Preview 4 JsonNode/JsonObject/JsonArray/JsonValue:

Hello @JoeAlbahari , with the latest version of JsonNode/JsonObject/JsonArray/JsonValue, I believe it should be possible to add beatifulized visualization support for them.
