JSON.NET: Serialize json string property into json object

Question

Is it possible to tell JSON.NET I have a string with JSON data? E.g. I have a class like this:

public class Foo
{
    public int Id;
    public string RawDat         


        

Answer 1

You can use another property to deserialize the object property json.

public class Foo
{
    public int Id;
    public string RawData;
    private object thisObject;
    public object ThisObject 
    {
        get
        {
            return thisObject ?? (thisObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject
