I have projects on .NET Core and I want to use the System.Text.Json serializer that is the new default, but reporting relies on Newtonsoft.Json.

ADMIN EDIT

There are two approaches that can be taken right now to solve this:

OPTION 1: define separate endpoints (services, projects) for the different tasks - they can still use the same database layer through a shared project, depending on the architecture you have. This would let you have separated services with the appropriate serializers without custom attributes and code (see below). For example, create a separate project for the reporting REST services.

OPTION 2: add some custom decoration on the endpoints so you can choose which serializer is used on each, you can find some examples here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59650907/how-to-configure-two-json-serializers-and-select-the-correct-one-based-on-the-ro - the point being to register a serializer depending on the endpoint based on your own code rather than let the framework put one in for all endpoints.

NOTE: This would be a breaking change.
