Fail the deserializatioin of JSON string if any expected properties don’t exist

Json.NET has another handy attribute, [JsonObject(ItemRequired = Required.Always)]. It makes every property of the class mandatory

[JsonObject(ItemRequired = Required.Always)]
public class UpdateWarrantyRequest
{
    public int WarrantyYear { get; set; }
}

Then I can catch the exception and handle it.

public static class JsonExtensions
{
    public static OperationResult<T> To<T>(this string payload)
    {
        try
        {
            return new OperationResult<T>(HttpStatusCode.OK, 
                JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(payload));
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            var errorMessage = $"Failed in deserializing the payload:\n {payload}";
            Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
            return new OperationResult<T>(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, errorMessage);
        }
    }
}
