How to bind nested json configuration to options in .net core

Question

In .net core if we have to bind the configuration directly from Json configuration as shown below

{  
  "AzureAdJwtSettings": {
    "Authority": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenantid",
  },
  "WebSecJwtSettings": {
    "Authority": "https://example.com",
  }
}

we can write something like this

configuration.Bind("AzureAdJwtSettings", options);

I am looking to find a way so that I can group my json configuration in such a way

{  
  "JwtSettings": {
    "AzureAdJwtSettings": {
      "Authority": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenantid"
    },
    "WebSecJwtSettings": {
      "Authority": "https://example.com"
    }
  }
}

But when I try to load the configuration in my code it didn't load properly.. I am using the below code

configuration.Bind("JwtSettings.AzureAdJwtSettings", options);

I know there must be way to load nested properties but couldn't find it working...

Use colon (:) instead of dot (.)

As per suggested comments, the format should use colon (:) instead of dot (.) with keys for configuration option binding to work

For example

configuration.Bind("JwtSettings:AzureAdJwtSettings", options);
