How to load appsetting.json section into Dictionary in .NET Core?

Question

I am familiar w/ loading an appsettings.json section into a strongly typed object in .NET Core startup.cs. For example:

public class CustomSection 
{
   publ

For simple (perhaps microservice) applications you can just add it it as a singleton Dictionary and then inject it wherever you need it:

var mobileConfig = Configuration.GetSection("MobileConfigInfo")
                    .GetChildren().ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value);

services.AddSingleton(mobileConfig);

And the usage:

public class MyDependantClass
{
    private readonly Dictionary _mobileConfig;

    public MyDependantClass(Dictionary mobileConfig)
    {
        _mobileConfig = mobileConfig;
    }

    // Use your mobile config here
}
