Deserialize to Expando?

[dkackman]

I have a large YAML document that I want to deserialize to a dynamic object (ExpandoObject). I can get there by going to Json first and then using NewtonSoft. Can YamlDotNet deserialize directly to a dynamic object tree?

using var input = new StreamReader(fullPath);
var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder()
    .Build();
var yamlObject = deserializer.Deserialize(input);
var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
    .JsonCompatible()
    .Build();

var json = serializer.Serialize(yamlObject);
dynamic config = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ExpandoObject>(json, new ExpandoObjectConverter());

Not that I am aware of. There is another project, it's pretty old and doesn't look like it supports anything other than full framework applications (no dot net core). You could have a look at this and see if it would work for you.
