Extending Newtonsoft JSON JToken to output only the text values

I recently needed to take a big JSON payload and dump it to text just like you can do with an XML Document using InnerText/OuterText.

At first glance, it looked complicated and it just felt like something that should have come out-of-the-box.

Well, here is the Extension Method:

    public static class ExtensionMethods {

        public static string OuterText(this JToken token) {

            var sw = new StringWriter();

            token.OuterText(sw);

            return sw.ToString();

        }

        public static void OuterText(this JToken token, StringWriter sw) {

            switch (token.Type) {

                case JTokenType.String:

                    sw.WriteLine(token.ToString());

                    break;

                case JTokenType.Property:

                case JTokenType.Array:

                case JTokenType.Object:

                    foreach (var item in token.Values()) {

                        OuterText(item, sw);

                    }

                    break;

            }

        }

    }

Here's an easy way of using it:

       public void Test() {

            var jsonString = "{ \"Title\":\"Extending Newtonsoft JSON JToken to output only the text values\", \"OtherStuff\":[ {\"text\": \"I sure wish I had a way of converting a JSON Object to text, but without it being in JSON format...\"}, \"Wait a minute, ... I CAN!\", { \"objectContainingText\": { \"numberProp\": 1, \"stringProp\": \"Hooray for extension methods!\" } } ] }";

            var jsonToken = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JToken>(jsonString);

            var jsonText = jsonToken.OuterText();

       }

Here's the result:

Extending Newtonsoft JSON JToken to output only the text values
I sure wish I had a way of converting a JSON Object to text, but without it being in JSON format...
Wait a minute, ... I CAN!
Hooray for extension methods!

Originally, I was deserializing to a JObject, however JObject is also a JToken, so I wrote the extension method to be versatile enough to handle any of those other types.
