JSON Path to Object

PleaseHelp.cs

public async Task<T?> GetValue<T>(string path, JsonSerializerOptions? options, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    using var stream = GetStream();
    using var jsonDocument = await JsonDocument.ParseAsync(stream, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
    var root = jsonDocument.RootElement;

    var jsonPath = JsonPath.Parse(path);
    var pathResult = jsonPath.Evaluate(root);
    if (pathResult.Error != null)
        throw new InvalidOperationException(pathResult.Error);

    var matches = pathResult.Matches!;
    var first = matches.First();

    var value = typeof(T) == typeof(string) ?
        $"\"{first.Value}\"" :
        $"{first.Value}";

    return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T?>(value, options);
}
