asp.net+EF 递归生成树结构返回json

项目是前后端分离，所以只写接口

ENTITY层：

 public class VM_Menu
    {
        public string ID { get; set; }
        public string MenuCode { get; set; }
        public string MenuDesc { get; set; }
        public string MenuURL { get; set; }
        public string ParentMenuID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> Sequence { get; set; }
        public string CreateUserID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<System.DateTime> CreateDate { get; set; }
        public string UpdateUserID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<System.DateTime> UpdateDate { get; set; }
        public string MenuIcon { get; set; }
        //添加子级菜单
        public object ChildMenu { get; set; }
    }

 BLL层：

        /// <summary>
        /// 获取菜单树结构
        /// </summary>

        {
            var allMenuList = GetMenu().ToList();
            List<VM_Menu> rootNodeList = new List<VM_Menu>();
            foreach (var parentNodeList in allMenuList.Where(t => t.ParentMenuID == null))
            {
                VM_Menu menuNode = new VM_Menu();
                menuNode.ID = parentNodeList.ID;
