JSON Deserialization (using System.Text.Json) in Nested Class Fails

[tlbaxter]

I'm new here so forgive me if I am not doing something right.

We're using Core v3.1 and trying to deserialize a small bit of JSON. I have this simple class structure, where we are trying to deserialize into A.B.

public class A {
   public class B {
      // some public properties
   }
}

When I try to deserialize into A.B I get an empty object with only default values. Neither of these work:

A.B ab_1 = JsonSerializer.Deserialize(someJson, typeof(A.B));
A.B ab_2 = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<A.B>(someJson);

If I remove the B class from its nesting and make it "stand-alone" I can deserialize into it just fine. Should I not be able to deserialize into A.B?

I couldn't repro this: https://dotnetfiddle.net/49ylUD. @tlbaxter is this why you want the issue closed?
