Serialize one to many relationships in Json.net

Question

I am using the Entity Framework code first for data access and I have a Company class which has a collection of Employees. The Employee class also has a Company property.

If you're using WebAPI EntityFrameworkCore 2.0 this solution doesn't work, you need to set it on Startup.cs->ConfigureServices:

.AddJsonOptions(options => {
                    var settings = options.SerializerSettings;
                    settings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
                });
