Description

Description

In general it seems most major libraries are moving way from Newtonsoft to System.Text.Json. It would be good to see this library do the same.

Benefits

System.Text.Json seems to be the future of JSON parsing in .NET and is faster than Newtonsoft.

Research direction

Start by locating every Newtonsoft dependency and serialization entry point in the C# SDK, then compare the required behavior with System.Text.Json. Define the migration scope and compatibility risks before changing anything; done means the SDK no longer relies on Newtonsoft while preserving its current JSON behavior.
