Uh okay! I was not aware of this. Thanks for pointing that out. Why is there so much difference in the NuGet downloads between both libraries tho?

- Hawxy 11mo ago> Why is there so much difference in the NuGet downloads between both libraries tho? Because there's a boatload of older .NET apps that have been using Newtonsoft for over a decade already and aren't in a rush to switch. Anything built on .NET Framework is likely to still use Newtonsoft.
- akoeplinger 11mo agoSystem.Text.Json ships as part of the shared framework in recent versions of .NET so for most users it won't be restored from nuget.org
- xnorswap 11mo agoSystem.Text.Json isn't needed as a nuget library for newer development, the library is only needed for older stuff. Those older stuff are likely running newtonsoft.Json anyway. There's also a load of .NET Framework applications still running Newstonsoft.
- WorldMaker 11mo agoSystem.Text.Json is out-of-the-box in .NET > 5. The NuGet package is primarily a compatibility layer for people still supporting .NET 4.x for whatever reason.
