Add a rendererOptions section for C# to exclude the generated DateOnlyConverter and TimeOnlyConverter when using the System.Text.Json serialization framework.
For C# projects targeting the .NET StandardDateOnly and TimeOnly can't be used since these types are only available in .NET 6+.

JSON Schema

C#
Description
When generating C# code from a JSON schema, I would like to be able to use the C# code in a .NET library targeting the .NET Standard while using theSystem.Text.Json serialization framework.
.NET Standard provides wide support for consumers of a library (.NET Framework 4.6.1+ and .NET & .NET Core 2.0+)
Choose the JSON schema pokedex-schema.json example.
Select the following language options:
Language: C#
Serialization framework: System Text Json
Generated namespace: QuickType
Create a .NET library project
dotnet new classlib --framework netstandard2.0
dotnet add package System.Text.Json
Copy over the C# code from QuickType.
Build the library
dotnet build
Note build errors.
Error CS0246 : The type or namespace name 'DateOnly' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Error CS0246 : The type or namespace name 'TimeOnly' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
A potential solution is to remove the custom DateOnlyConverter & TimeOnlyConverter from the output and rely on the built-in converters from System.Text.Json.
I don't have enough context to know if this is a realistic solution.
Currently using the Newton Soft serialization framework does look to work with .NET Standard libraries.
I think having both serialization frameworks work for .NET Standard libraries would be good.

If we can settle on a solution, I would be happy to help if desired.

Current Behavior / Output
Go to https://app.quicktype.io/
Choose the JSON schema pokedex-schema.json example.
Select the following language options:
Create a .NET library project
Copy over the C# code from QuickType.
Build the library

The .NET library builds successfully.
Solution
Add a language configuration option to indicate if the output should support .NET Standard.
When that configuration option is selected, the
DateOnlyConverterandTimeOnlyConverterare not emitted.Alternatives
It looks like in version 7.0+ of the
System.Text.Jsonpackage these converters are included. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/system-text-json-in-dotnet-7/A potential solution is to remove the custom
