System.Text.Json easier config for read/deserialize number as string

[hsenasilva]

Hi, I was testing the System.Text.Json deserialization feature and I faced a scenario where double quoted number like "10.00" is parsed to System.Decimal by default on ASP.NET Core apps, and the opposite is not true. Which means that if we send an serialized decimal like 10.00 the default behavior is not the same, and the Converter will throw an exception. I think that could be useful an string implementation like JsonNumberHandling, where could be possible set an option on JsonSerializerOptions to permit parse automatically a number to string without the need to implement a custom converter.

What are your thoughts about this idea? Any side effects on this more permissive approach?

I could send an implementation proposal if you like the idea. o/

Isn't it covered by JsonNumberHandling.WriteAsString?
