I've removed the System.Text.Json package reference from Microsoft.DotNet.UnifiedBuild.Tasks.csproj as requested since it's already included in .NETCoreApp. See commit 718e8c1.

Does this remove the last references of the Directory.Pacakges.props and Versions.props entries for Newtonsoft? |
No, this doesn't remove the last references to Newtonsoft.Json in Directory.Packages.props and Versions.props. The test projects (Microsoft.DotNet.Tests.csproj and Microsoft.DotNet.SourceBuild.Tests.csproj) still reference Newtonsoft.Json. Additionally, the issue (#714) specifically requested to convert .cs files outside of /src, meaning code under /src may still use Newtonsoft.Json. |

@copilot there's an error in the WritePackageUsageData task in line 244, the build shows: |

... Fixed the error in WritePackageUsageData.cs by changing GetString() to GetBoolean() for the autoReferenced property in line 244. In System.Text.Json, boolean values need to be explicitly read with the correct type, unlike Newtonsoft.Json where they could be implicitly converted to strings. See commit 242c590.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This if branch didn't exist previously. Direct dependencies were always added, regardless of the version string being null. Not sure if it matters.
Summary
This PR migrates all .cs files in the VMR outside of
/srcfrom Newtonsoft.Json to System.Text.Json. The changes were made to achieve better compatibility with the modern .NET ecosystem and reduce dependencies on third-party libraries when the standard library provides equivalent functionality.Changes
