Docs: Why is Newtonsoft.Json mentioned when discussing self-contained deployment with third-party dependencies?

[jmoralesv]

Hello,
I'd like to know why Newtonsoft.Json is mentioned in the step 2, regarding self-contained deployments with third-party dependencies. Is that required in order to do a .NET Core self-contained app? When reading the phrase "with third-party dependencies", I think of Nuget packages that my .NET Core app depends on, is that what you meant here? If so, then Newtonsoft.Json is just an example and not a requirement. I think this should be explicitly written because it sounds confusing as is currently written.

Please clarify.

Yes, Newtonsoft is just an example and you're correct that we could be more explicit about that. Adding this to our backlog.
