❔ Newtonsoft json parse while ignoring issues
Hi all, sorry if I am an idiot but is there a way to make newtonsoft import broken json, and import what it can? Right now my json somethimes is cut off but is still usable after adding the right brackets.

It cannot import broken json. What I'd do is, when deserializing json, you are able to pass
JsonSerializerSettings. In those settings, there is a Property Error. This is an EventHandler, so you can just subscribe to it. And in there, I'd try to set the brackets, as you said. Well, given that you 100% know which brackets to insert and where.
And then try it again
But then again, try to get clean json in the first placeyeah I try to always get clean JSOn but it is from a LLM so that sometimes just cuts off the json, but I cannot preprogram so I was hoping it had some functionality for it 😅
I dont think either Newtonsoft.Json nor STJ have functionality for that, so you are unfortunately out of luck here 🙁
Unless you write your own parser, no can do I'm afraid
If you know that all it's missing is closing brackets, treat the JSON as a string and add closing brackets until deserialization works
