What I have tried:

[JsonProperty("data", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
 public List<Datum> Data { get; set; }

[JsonProperty("data", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Include)]
private List<Datum> Data2 { set { Data = value; } }

You need to declare some method that handles the "data" objects and checks for null values.

1 solution

use [JsonIgnore] attribute on the field you want to ignore.
