How to migrate NLog configuration from XML file(s) to application settings (JSON)?
I have just created an ASP.NET Core 6 application and added NLog support for logging:
```c#
NLogBuilder.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config").GetCurrentClassLogger()
```
However, this API is almost deprecated as the remarks says:
> It is now recommended to use NLog.LogManager.Setup().LoadConfigurationFromAppSettings()
I began switching to using `appsettings.json` as it seems idiomatic when working in ASP.NET Core (one expects for virtually all app configurations to be defined here).
The first step was to automatically migrate from XML to JSON using [this resource](https://www.freeformatter.com/xml-to-json-converter.html).
However, the JSON file is not exactly what NLog configuration parser expects.
I am wondering if there is any guide or tool to help with such a migration?
