I'm currently trying to do some JSON formatting using the HttpClient in .NET Core and MediaTypeFormatters. Especially the function "ReadAsAsync(..., MediaTypeFormatter, ...)" (<https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.net.http.httpcontentextensions.readasasync(v=vs.118).aspx>) which was available in .NET Framework in the HttpContent-Class would be very helpful. As far as I understood, it can be found in the NuGet package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client but I cannot download it because it is not supported in .NET Core.

Though I have read, that it should be:

* [Where is HttpContent.ReadAsAsync?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10399324/where-is-httpcontent-readasasync)
* <https://www.techrepository.in/consuming-rest-api-methods-in-net-core-mvc-application>

I know that it is possible to do the formatting using Newtonsoft and so on.

But does someone know, if that package will be available in .NET Core some day again? I could not find any information really...
