Cannot Deserialize into Nested Class

[tlbaxter]

I have a class structure like this:

public class A {
// some stuff....
public class B {
// some more stuff...
}
}

If I have a json string I should, I think, be able to do this:

A.B ab = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<A.B>(someJsonString);

The ab variable is not populated. If I move B outside of A. It works. Why is this?

It seems like you want an API to deserialize into an existing object. Can you see if #29538 expresses your ask? Please feel free to re-open if not.

Please re-open. Issue #29538 has nothing to do with what i am talking about. I do not know how to re-open.
