c# - Deserialize to object with custom object property -

i have class so:

public class caretaker {     public int id {get; set;}     public string name {get; set;}     public datetime? datetrained {get; set;}     public certification certification {get; set;}     public list<certification> expiredcertifications {get; set;} }  public class certification {     public int id {get; set;} } 

and json so:

{     "id": 1,     "name": "dogtor",     "datetrained": "01 feb 2017",     "certification": 2,     "expiredcertifications": [1,5] } 

i know json certification should "certification": { "id": 2}, but, don't have access change json have figure out how convert recieve ("certification": 2) object... there way can either javascriptserializer or newtonsoft please?

you this:

public class caretaker {     ...     [notmapped]     [jsonproperty(propertyname = "certification"]     public int? certificationid     {                 {              return certification?.id;         }         set         {            certification = new certification { id = value; }         }     }     [jsonignore]     public certification certification {get; set;}     ... }
