Feature request: Reduce use of lesser known packages in Idemopotency package

[mungojam]

Use case

We have to be careful with the dependencies that we bring in. The Idempotency package brings in a JmesPath package which then brings in other sub-packages. The sub-packages are particularly obscure, developed as a university project with very few users. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Springcomp.GPPG.Runtime

We would like the JmesPath package dependency to be replaced with native System.Text.Json functionality, or else a more widely used package (e.g. Newtonsoft.Json).

Otherwise I don't think we will be able to make use of the Idempotency package.

Solution/User Experience

It seems that the main use is here, and could be replaced with a System.Text.Json use:

@mungojam Thanks for raising this feature request. We are discussing what you wrote between the team and will get back to you soon.
I agree with you, the less dependencies we have the better, if we can achieve the same functionality with System.Text.Json seems like a good approach to me.
