System.Text.Json.JsonElement ToObject workaround

by

I came across the same issue, so I wrote some extension methods which work fine for now. It would be nice if they provided this as built in to avoid the additional allocation to a string.

public static T ToObject<T>(this JsonElement element)
{
    var json = element.GetRawText();
    return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>(json);
}
public static T ToObject<T>(this JsonDocument document)
{
    var json = document.RootElement.GetRawText();
    return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>(json);
}

Then use as follows:

jDoc.RootElement.GetProperty("SomeProperty").ToObject<SomeClass>();
