Add additional TFM

[thompson-tomo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to minimise dependencies in my project by utilising framework dependencies wherever possible

Describe the solution you'd like
I want the package to not have an explicit dependency on System.Text.Json as it can be provided by the framework when also targeting net 6.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Accept the additional dependency

Totally makes sense.

Okay, I checked it and since it targets .NET Standard 2 it covers all the possible targets including .NET Framework 4.6.1. Therefore, you shall have no issue referencing the package, but perhaps you meant the number of packages pulled from Nuget even if most of them only forwarding types to .NET Framework dlls, right?

[thompson-tomo]

Correct I am wanting to reduce the number of dependencies being brought in from nuget.org as it is additional packages needing to be maintained.

[YohDeadfall]

@eiriktsarpalis, is the idea of using .NET Framework 4.6.2 as a target for System.Text.Json to reduce number of dependencies? Currently I see a little value in adding another TFM because .NET Standard 2 covers any other target, but the amount of forward only libraries is definitely huge compared to when System.Text.Json for .NET Framework is targeted.

[eiriktsarpalis]

No, I think it's just because net462 is still supported but it also doesn't implement netstandard2.0 (IIRC net47x is the earliest TFM that implements it)

[YohDeadfall]

Actually .NET 4.6.2 implements .NET Standard 2.0 according to the docs and what I see for the package. So, System.Tet.Json can be used even not being directly targeting net462. Even with net461.

What would be your advice on the topic? I mean the position according to the guidelines for .NET ecosystem.
