Doesn't tell us how to replace JsonOutputFormatter with System.Text.Json alternatives to modify the outputted json for all responses

[JohnGalt1717]

In the past you could inherit from JsonOutputFormatter and override the response. This was useful so that you could have a fully formatted body that wasn't just the json object (which has security issues) and add additional properties like errors etc. to the response.

I don't see anywhere in the documentation information on how you'd replicate this same behavior without having to customize every response on every endpoint.

@JamesNK can you outline the approach or for this case should you continue with JsonOutputFormatter?

(Can't continue with JsonOutputFormatter because it uses NewtonsoftJson)
