Research direction
Start at the BackupJob implementation and trace how MongoDB documents are converted before upload. Replace the redundant JSON parsing with direct BsonDocument field access while preserving the JSON output format and blob upload behavior; done means the production build no longer depends on Newtonsoft.Json for this path.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The BackupData project has a redundant JSON parsing step when processing MongoDB documents:
BsonDocument → ToString() → JSON string → Parse into JObject → Extract fields → ToString() → Upload
The JObject is only used to extract two fields (_id and _meta.updated). We can read these directly from the BsonDocument and skip the parsing entirely:
// Before
var jObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(document.ToString()) as JObject;
var blobName = jObject["_id"]?.ToString();
var updated = jObject["_meta"]?["updated"]?.ToString();
var json = jObject.ToString();
// After
var blobName = document["_id"].AsString;
var updated = document["_meta"]["updated"].ToUniversalTime();
var json = document.ToJson();
This removes the Newtonsoft.Json dependency from the production build and eliminates a redundant parse/serialize cycle. The output format stays the same (JSON files in blob storage), so there's no breaking change for consumers.
