Newtonsoft.Json dependency

[pirimoglu]

Newtonsoft.Json dependency can be changed with System.Text.Json

[snakefoot]

Yes but there are different side-effects:

• System.Text.Json doesn't implement reference loop protection.
• System.Text.Json doesn't render double zero as 0.0 but as 0 (Can give funny datatype-guessing issue when indexing)
• System.Text.Json doesn't render fields by default (can be forced on)
• System.Text.Json doesn't recognize the class-attributes from Newtonsoft.Json (for guiding serialization)
• System.Text.Json carries a lot of new dependencies for .NetFramework, and those can be annoying because of strong-version issues.

@snakefoot @pirimoglu Is it worth reassessing this question with .NET 6?

[snakefoot]

Guess one could look into trying to exercise the NEST-serializer, instead of using Newtonsoft.Json
