How do I display the array of objects in the JSON? – Asp.net

I have a class called Documents that should have an array of DocumentItem objects and I want them to appear in the json that I want to send to the DB but they’re not. I want the backend to display the array in the json that will go the db like any other field

The Json appears like this

{
  "id": "string",
  "title": "string",
  "icon": "string",
  "link": "string"
}

{
    public class Documents
    {
        [BsonId]
        [JsonIgnore]
        public ObjectId DocumentsId { get; set; }


        public string Id { get => DocumentsIdToString(); set { DocumentsIdToString(); } }

        [Required]
        public string Title { get; set; } = null!;

        [Required]
        public string Icon { get; set; } = null!;

        [Required]
        public string Link { get; set; } = null!;

        private DocumentItem[] Docs { get; set; } = null!;


        public Documents()
        {
            Docs = new DocumentItem[]
                 {
                    new DocumentItem("Capex Request","CX", 1),
                    new DocumentItem("Cash Request","CR", 1),
                    new DocumentItem("Stores Request","SR", 1),
                    new DocumentItem("Quotation","QT", 1)                    
                 };
            

        }

        private string DocumentsIdToString()
        {
            return DocumentsId.ToString();
        }
    }
}


 public class DocumentItem
    {
        public string Name { get; set; } = null!;

        public string Prefix { get; set; } = null!;

        public int Module { get; set; }

        public DocumentItem(string Name, string Prefix, int Module)
        {
            this.Name = Name;
            this.Prefix = Prefix;
            this.Module = Module;
        }

        
    }
}

I want the Json to appear like this

{
  "id": "string",
  "title": "string",
  "icon": "string",
  "link": "string",
  "docs": [
    {
      "name": "Capex Request",
      "prefix": "CX",
      "module": 1 
    },
    {
      "name": "Cash Request",
      "prefix": "CR",
      "module": 1 
    },
    {
      "name": "Stores Request",
      "prefix": "SR",
      "module": 1 
    },
    {
      "name": "Quotation",
      "prefix": "QT",
      "module": 1 
    }
  ]
}

    By default, only public properties are serialized.

    Change the accessor from private to public.

    public DocumentItem[] Docs { get; set; } = null!;
