Deserialize JSON with a dot in the property name

Question

I am trying to deserialize JSON with dots in property names in key value format. I use the built-in binding of the ASP.NET MVC model. It seems to interpret the points as object notation, not just an object with a key. Is there a way to make it deserialize correctly as a key value, ignoring the dots? This is important because the data will need to be displayed again in this format.

Controller action

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveProgress(int id, ProgressVM data)
{
    // ProgressVM Data property has an item with key "prop" and a null value, nothing else
}

View Model

public class ProgressVM
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public Dictionary<string, string> Data { get; set; }
}

JSON example

{
    "ID": 123,
    "Data": {
        "prop.0.name": "value",
        "prop.0.id": "value",
        "prop.1.name": "value",
        "prop.2.name": "value",
        "prop.3.name": "value"
    }
}
