Expected Behavior

I am able to use ScheduledEvent with EventBridge Scheduler.

Current Behavior

Error converting the Lambda event JSON payload to type Amazon.Lambda.CloudWatchEvents.ScheduledEvents.ScheduledEvent: The JSON value could not be converted to Amazon.Lambda.CloudWatchEvents.ScheduledEvents.Detail. Path: $.detail | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 339.

Additional Information/Context

Here's the event I'm receiving:

{
    "version": "0",
    "id": "49672d39-8c3a-4cc6-8de5-c57b0acf718f",
    "detail-type": "Scheduled Event",
    "source": "aws.scheduler",
    "account": "12345",
    "time": "2024-11-07T22:05:00Z",
    "region": "eu-central-1",
    "resources": [
        "arn:aws:scheduler:eu-central-1:12345:schedule/default/test-schedule"
    ],
    "detail": "{}"
}

It is very-very similar to what we have in ScheduledEvent. However, "detail" here is a string, not a json object.

According to
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-events-structure.html
"detail" should be a JSON object, but "{}". I have no idea why such string is allowed, or whether any other stringified JSON is possible there.

Possible Solution

Write JSON converter, which allows Detail to be string (either allow empty object string only "{}", or a full stringified JSON object - not sure).

AWS .NET SDK and/or Package version used

• Per AWS service event metadata, detail is a JSON object that contains information about the event. The service generating the event determines the content of this field. It can be "{}".
• Per Amazon EventBridge events detail reference, detail is JSON object that contains information about the event. The service generating the event determines the content of this field. It is a Required field. There are no required fields in this object for Scheduled Event events.

Since the service generating the event determines the content of this field, the Detail class is correctly modeled as class without fields.

{} should be considered as an empty JSON object.

Is there any information why string "{}" is used instead of an empty object {}?
