FormatException

The current JsonNode cannot be represented as a {TValue}.

InvalidOperationException

The current JsonNode is not a JsonValue or is not compatible with {TValue}.

Remarks

{T} can be the type or base type of the underlying value. If the underlying value is a JsonElement then {T} can also be the type of any primitive value supported by current JsonElement.

Specifying the Object type for {T} will always succeed and return the underlying value as Object.

The underlying value of a JsonValue after deserialization is an instance of JsonElement,otherwise it's the value specified when the JsonValue was created.
