which accepts an employee ID as a parameter. The web service returns the following JSON data from
the method.

if hte question was to deserialize XML it would be interesting:
Dan Rigsby has the ultimate post on this – go read it!
XmlSerializer vs. DataContractSerializer (web archive)
He says all there is to say, and it a very convincing way.
In short:
XmlSerializer:
has been around for a long time
is “opt-out”; everything public gets serialized, unless you tell it not to ([XmlIgnore])
DataContractSerializer is:
the new kid in town
optimized for speed (about 10% faster than XmlSerializer, typically)
“opt-in” – only stuff you specifically mark as [DataMember] will be serialized
but anything marked with [DataMember] will be serialized – whether it’s public or private
doesn’t support XML attributes (for speed reasons)
