Azure Service Bus - topics, messages - using .NET Core

Question

I'm trying to use Azure Service Bus with .NET Core. Obviously at the moment, this kind of sucks. I have tried the following routes:

1. The official SDK: doesn't work with .NET Core
2. AMQP.Net Lite: no (decent) documentation, no management APIs around creating/listing topics, etc. Only Service Bus examples cover a small subset of functionality and need you to have a topic already, etc
3. The community wrapper around AMQP.Net Lite which mirrors the Azure SDK (https://github.com/ppatierno/azuresblite): doesn't work with .NET Core

Then, I moved on to REST.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/service-bus-brokered-tutorial-rest/ is a good start (although no RestSharp support for .NET Core either, and for some reason the official SDK doesn't seem to cover a REST client - no Swagger def, no AutoRest client, etc). Although this crappy example concatenates strings into XML without encoding, and covers a small subset of functionality.

So I decided to look for REST documentation. There are two sections, "classic" REST and just REST. Plain-old new REST doesn't support actually sending and receiving messages it seems (...huh?). I'm loathed to use an older technology labelled "classic" unless I can understand what it is - of course, docs are no help here. It also uses XML and ATOM rather than JSON. I have no idea why.

Bonus: the sample linked to in the documentation for the REST API, e.g. from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/azure/hh780786.aspx, no longer exists.

Are there any viable approaches anyone has managed to use to read/write messages to topics/from subscriptions with Azure Service Bus and .NET Core?

Still there's not sufficient support for OnMessage implementation which I think the-most important thing in ServiceBus, .Net Core version of ServiceBus was rolled out several days ago.
