Where is the IConfiguration.Get method in ASP.NET 6 (vnext) after update to beta6?

Question

For the moment almost all blog posts covering configuration with the new ASP.NET 5 and MVC 6 using json for config is using something like this:

var token = configuration.Get<string>("AppData:CompanyName");

But since 6 august this function is removed (if you're using bleeding edge releases) with almost no information on what to use instead.

For me this first occurred when switching to from beta5 to beta6 of Microsoft.Framework.Configuration.Json.

tl;dr;

Do it like this to get it working:

var companyName = Configuration["AppData:CompanyName"];
var branchName = Configuration["AppData:BranchName"];
// etc.
