Hi! how to get raw json as text which come with update or as response from tg server?

This library use binary structures/classes, not JSON, for better performance with the underlying binary protocol/connection MTProto.

For some reason (logs? dump?), if you really need a JSON version of those structures, you can serialize them like this:

string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(update, WTelegram.Helpers.JsonOptions);

For some reason (logs? dump?)

if i do this:

var channels = await _client.Messages_GetAllChats();
var channel = (Channel)channels.chats[chid];
var chmsg = await _client.Channels_GetMessages(channel, _in);
richTextBox_exp.AppendText($"{chmsg.Messages[0]}");

with msg with media or/and markdown then i'll get somthing like this:

2037247235> text with picture TL.MessageMediaPhoto

what to do to get only text without "2037247235>" ? what to do to get text with markdown opening and close tags OR get text with formating and show it in richtextbox as is?
