Workaround for providing support for EnumMemberAttribute

[snjosephms]

We are migrating our code base from Newtonsoft to System.Text.Json.
Our data model uses the EnumMemberAttribute decorations https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.serialization.enummemberattribute?view=net-7.0.

Based on this post, I see that the support for this attribute is not provided in System.Text.Json out of the box : #74385 (comment)

The post mentions that we can implement custom converters to provide support for this - but its unclear to me how this can be done.
Can you please provide a sample implementation of such a custom converter?

That attribute isn't part of JSON serialization. That's for ASP.Net data contracts.

You can use EnumStringConverter<T> from my STJ utilities package Json.More.Net. More info at https://json-everything.net (click on "Additional Utilities" at the right of the header bar).
