I think that one reason why we had to do that was to avoid mangling like default, numbers with formats, etc... While I do appreciate the performance improvements, I don't want it to come at the price of a regression.

TryGetValue<string> is never going to throw or do something strange. It will return true if the node really represents a string. For example, if you have any numbers in JSON like "maximum": 10, TryGetValue<string> will return false because the node doesn't represent a string. And then we fallback to the original implementation.

I done it this way explicitly because I saw that some numerics are read raw as strings that way.

This is what I'm referring to c17a87e

I think the object convert was introduced to avoid formatting issues for defaults and other properties when using types like dates and such.

if (scalarNode.TryGetValue<string>(out var stringValue))
{
return stringValue;
}

return Convert.ToString(scalarNode.GetValue<object>(), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}

public static bool GetScalarBoolValue(this JsonNode? node)
{
var scalarNode = node is JsonValue value ? value : throw new OpenApiException("Expected scalar value.");
return scalarNode.GetValue<bool>();
}

public static int GetScalarIntValue(this JsonNode? node)
{
var scalarNode = node is JsonValue value && value.GetValueKind() == JsonValueKind.Number ? value : throw new OpenApiException("Expected numeric scalar value.");

if (scalarNode.TryGetValue<int>(out var intValue))
