Custom Json Deserialization for an optional XML Attribute

Question

I have a XML which I am converting to JSON and finally into C# Object.

Below is the XML <State Description="Georgia">GA</State>

which converts to Json as

"State": { "@Description": "Georgia", "#text": "GA" }

But if the XML is <State>GA</State>

then it is "State" : "GA"

Now the problem I am facing is to write the type while deserializing.

If I declare State as String it works for <State>GA</State> condition.

[JsonProperty("State")] public string State { get; set; }

for <State Description="Georgia">GA</State> the below declaration works. But how can I declare so that it works for both the condition , Since the Description is optional we may or may not get the value.

public State State { get; set; }

public partial class State
    {
        [JsonProperty("#text")]
        public string Text { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("@Description")]
        public string Description { get; set; }
    }
