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

The only thing that worked for me (ASP.NET Core 3.0) was to add the following to the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs:

services.Configure>(dict => Configuration
    .GetSection("MySectionName")
    .GetChildren()
    .ToList()
    .ForEach(c => dict[c.Key] = c.Value));
