Azure Cosmos DB upload JSON file via C#/.net

Question

I am looking for a way to upload a JSON file directly to my Azure Cosmos DB container. I am aware of the "classic" way doing it like:

load the JSON file
convert it via JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Item>>(data);
upload it like "container.CreateItemAsync(item)"

I would like to skip the part where I have to deserialize the JSON and convert it into a C# object.

Is there a method or way like this?

container.CreateItemAsync(myData.json)

It should be possible but depends on the SDK version are you using. Tell use the name of the nuget package you installed into your project, please. — Good Night Nerd Pride

I.e. is it Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB (old) or Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos (new)? — Good Night Nerd Pride

How about container.CreateItemStreamAsync(): learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/… — Oliver

Have you tried CreateItemAsync<JObject>(). I don't think you can pass the JSON string directly, but a parsed JSON should work. — Good Night Nerd Pride

With the Cosmos DB SQL API v3 .NET SDK, there is a stream option which will allow already serialized payloads to be passed in container.CreateItemStreamAsync()
