Missing example or documentation on the meaning of parameters of JsonPropertyInfo.Set delegate

[vincent1405]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

I do not find the value corresponding to the two parameters of JsonPropertyInfo.Set delegate. I finally found that:

• The first one is the instance being deserialized
• The second one is the value of the JsonPropertyInfo property that will be set.

I think that an explanation could be useful. As an example, we could use:

jsonPropertyInfo.Set = (instance, propertyValue) =>
{
    instance.GetType().GetProperty(jsonPropertyInfo.Name)!.DeclaringType!.GetProperty(jsonPropertyInfo.Name)!.GetSetMethod(true)!.Invoke(instance, [propertyValue]);
};

I wrote it myself to call private setters on public properties.

Thank you
