Deserializing 3rd-party JSON into a base (abstract) class in System.Text.Json
What is the most performant way to accomplish this? The most common solution to this problem (in Json.NET anyway?) is to implement a custom JsonConverter which first converts the object to a JObject, then checks for a discriminator property (or properties) before deciding how to deserialize/convert the JObject. This works, clearly, but I have doubts/concerns about its performance at scale as far as speed is concerned. I really, REALLY would like to avoid anything involving shoving every single possible field from the derived classes into one massive model abomination. Changing the JSON is out of the question as this is third-party data coming in from a websocket.
The data is pretty much
followed by SomeType-specific event fields.
My concern is that solutions involving JsonConverter delve into solutions almost always including a switch statement on the discriminator property. My issue is that this
