```csharp
builder.AddJournalStorage().UseJsonJournalFormat();
            
             builder.AddJournalStorage().UseJsonJournalFormat(MyJournalJsonContext.Default);
            
             builder.AddJournalStorage().UseJsonJournalFormat(options =>
             {
                 options.SerializerOptions.PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase;
                 options.AddTypeInfoResolver(MyJournalJsonContext.Default);
             });
