Hello Smitha, I don't think there is any way to 'expand' the nested view-model content as you described.
You might consider serializing your list of nested view-models into a base64 encoded String and expose this String as a (transient/not-persistable) property of your 'ViewModel-A'. Your REST client then would need to take care of decoding/deserializing this String. Cheers, Andi!
