In my opinion, the single biggest issue with Newtonsoft.Json is https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/issues/862.
Sure, you can disable it, but the fact that it is opt-out to begin with - i.e. that by default the parser will try to creatively interpret any string it sees in JSON input and convert in a locale-specific manner that also quietly loses data - is, frankly, insane through and through. I've personally run into this issue many times in existing code - it usually happens when people first start using the library and just never run into any inputs that would trigger this behavior while testing. Then once that code is shipped, someone somewhere just happens to have the data that triggers it.
And if you look at the comments to that issue, there are numerous mentions from other GitHub repos due to bugs it caused for them, including some Microsoft projects.
The cherry on that cake was author's response indicating that he doesn't even understand why this design is problematic in the first place: "I like what it does, I have no plans to change it, and I would do it again if given the chance." I wouldn't trust any parser written with this kind of attitude.

Project mention: Convert complex YAML to .NET types with custom YamlDotNet type converters | dev.to | 2023-09-10When it comes to YAML serialization and deserialization in .NET, YamlDotNet is a go-to library with over 100 million downloads on NuGet. It is also integrated into various projects by Microsoft and the .NET team, despite the absence of an official Microsoft YAML library for .NET.
for serializing interfaces and abstracts, this is phenomenal: https://github.com/mackysoft/Unity-SerializeReferenceExtensions
