This PR applies to the generated code for clients when using System.Text.Json serialization library.
This PR uses the
JsonContent
class to send objects as the request body. This is the documented way to serialize objects when making HTTP requests. It can be more efficient than serializing the entire request body into a byte array, particularly if the request body is large. This is because theJsonContent
can stream the body while serializing and reuse buffers between requests.In terms of the backwards compatibility impact of this change, the documentation says
JsonContent
was added in .NET 5. When running on .NET Framework, a reference to theSystem.Net.Http.Json
Nuget package would now be required.Contributes to #4083
