'ConfigurationBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'AddJsonFile'
Solution 1:
The AddJsonFile
extension method is available in NuGet:
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
When building an ASP.NET Core application, which usually references Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
(or, historically, Microsoft.AspNetCore.All
), you get this "for free".
When building a console application, or something that doesn't reference the metapackages, you need an explicit reference to Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
.
