title: Is Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client supported in .NET Core or not?
body: <p>I'm currently trying to do some JSON formatting using the HttpClient in .NET Core and MediaTypeFormatters. Especially the function &quot;ReadAsAsync(..., MediaTypeFormatter, ...)&quot; (<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.net.http.httpcontentextensions.readasasync(v=vs.118).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.net.http.httpcontentextensions.readasasync(v=vs.118).aspx</a>) 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.</p>
  <p>Though I have read, that it should be:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10399324/where-is-httpcontent-readasasync">Where is HttpContent.ReadAsAsync?</a></li>

  </ul>
  <p>I know that it is possible to do the formatting using Newtonsoft and so on.</p>
  <p>But does someone know, if that package will be available in .NET Core some day again? I could not find any information really...</p>
