So far, we've focused on pretty simple documents. In practice, however, you're more likely to work with complex JSON structures that mirror your application's object graph. For example, consider the common Customer class. In this case, you have a Customer object, which has a collection of Address objects, as demonstrated in the following C# snippet:

public class Customer
{
  public string FirstName { get; set; }
  public string LastName { get; set; }
