Remove Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.0.0 signed assembly dependency

[i2van]

Current package 1.0.3 requires only Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.0.0 signed assembly; otherwise binding redirect should be made, which sometimes is undesirable.

Thanks for the note, @i2van. At the moment the implementation of this package makes this infeasible (it's highly-dependent on Newtonsoft.Json). I don't think this is a change we'll be able to make in the near future, but good to have the feedback, thanks!

Can the Newtonsoft.Json version be updated with the latest version?

[nblumhardt]

Hi Lior, thanks for the note.

I think, currently, we'd introduce more breakage by moving the package dependency forwards, than by leaving things as-is and using a binding redirect. Is the dependency version causing issues in your app that aren't resolved by binding redirects (which the recent CSPROJ versions should add automatically)?

I am wondering whether, if we're going to make breaking changes to this package, we might not be better off building v2 on System.Text.Json ...?

Cheers,
Nick

Yeah, if by bumping up the version there are going to be breaking changes I agree that in this case it is even better to go directly to System.Text.Json (which has different defaults than Newtonsoft.)..

Is the original issue here fixed now? (v3 seems to depend on Newtonsoft 13.0.3)

Closing this one as stale; thanks 👍
